In a new interview with the Radio Times, actor Robbie Coltrane spoke about how he and his Harry Potter co-stars are coming to grips with the end of the series while working on Deathly Hallows. Robbie also explained how Hagrid's famous beard is removed after a day of filming. The cover of the issue can be seen here:

Quote:

"I think the last few days are gonna be quite tough," the actor told the Radio Times. "It's funny; I was talking to a few of the adults (on set) about this. And we were all going - 'Yeah, it's gonna be tough on the kids ...' Then eventually we were all, to a man and woman, saying: 'Yeah, it's gonna be pretty tough for me too ...'"

On Hagrid's beard regime:

Quote:

"It's all horrible. But at the end of the day, they take it off and then two girls come down to my trailer with a pot of hot oil - really - they dissolve the beard, rub my face with oil, then rub it down with hot face cloths."

If anyone has the latest issue of the Radio Times and can scan it, please feel free to send it in!

I agree that the last days of filming will be extremely hard especially for the trio and the rest of the "kids" :-( I know we will all be teary-eyed when DH 2 is over.
That removal of the beard sounds painful!!!

interesting about the beard. it will be a sad day when it is all over

Of course it's going to be tough for everyone. I can't imagine it not be! Especially for those who have worked on the films since the very beginning!

Interesting beard process. It doesn't sound fun.

Using a liquid to break it down rather than taking it off, as you would a wig.

Lmao! That's a cute quoute about the beard!

It's got to be hard for all the actors and crew that has worked on the movies together. They've basically formed a second family whom they spend ALL of there time with.

As for the beard, it sounds like a horrible daily process!

Robbie Coltrane would have to be one of my fave characters. He just suits Hagrid to a 'T'.
That last day will be an emotional rollercoaster for all the cast and crew....

Wasn't he chosen for the role by JK Rowling herself?

And yeah, that beard removal procedure sounds weird.
