Robbie Coltrane Height
Robbie Coltrane portrayed Hagrid in all eight Harry Potter films. He is only 6-foot 1-inch tall, a full two feet shorter than Hagrid seems, due to his lack of magical big genes. While Coltrane does an excellent job as Hagrid, they had to come up with some ingenious ways to make him appear much taller than he was. Now let us see what is Robbie Coltrane height, and how the movie makers made him look tall in the following passages.

How did Hagrid look so tall?
The following are the genius ideas that the Harry Potter movie team came up with to make Hagrid look like a giant in the movies,
1. Two Different Sets
Did you know Hagrid had TWO huts built for him? One was created enormous to make "average" individuals appear little in it. The other was scaled down to make Hagrid appear to be a colossus. They shot with both and then combined the scenes. Furthermore, the objects Hagrid used (such as flatware and cups) were smaller than typical, making Hagrid's hands appear huge in comparison.

2. Stunt Double
Martin Bayfield, a former rugby player who stands 6-foot-10 inches tall, appears in various scenes in Harry Potter. But you'd never guess it. Bayfield plays Hagrid in far-away views and full-body shots when Hagrid needed to be larger than everyone and everything around him, wearing a fatsuit, Hagrid's trademark overcoat, and even an animatronic head that looks like Robbie Coltrane's face.

3. Camera Perspective
Forced perspective is a cinematography method that distorts the size of people or objects to make them appear larger or smaller than they are. It works by having a nearby object and a distant object in focus equally so that they appear to be in the same plane.
They also achieved forced perspective by simply lowering the camera and recording higher, which was a slightly less skilled method. Other characters were filmed from a higher vantage point, whereas Hagrid was frequently filmed from a lower vantage point. This viewpoint gives the impression that we (the spectator) are staring up at an extremely tall Hagrid.
4. Use of a Green Screen
Filming Hagrid in front of a green screen was another technique employed to make him appear larger. They could then superimpose film or simply his body onto other sequences - scaled up, of course, to appear larger. When Hagrid was portrayed close to other characters, the green screen came in handy, as neither forced perspective nor a stunt double would suffice.
