The actor Robert Hardy, star of TV series All Creatures Great and Small, has died aged 91, his family has said.
Hardy, they said, had a wonderful life and a great career in theatre, television and film for more than 70 years. He was also known for lots of roles as Winston Churchill. In recent years, he appeared as Cornelius Fudge, the Minister for Magic, in four of the Harry Potter films. His family said, "Elegant, smiling, and always dignified, he is celebrated by all who knew him and loved him, and everyone who enjoyed his works." His children Emma, Justine and Paul said in the statement, "Dad is also remembered as a linguist, a fine artist, a lover of music and a champion of literature, as well as a highly respected historian.”
The RSC said it was "very sorry" to learn of his death and posted a picture from one of his productions. Chris Rankin, who played Percy Weasley in the Harry Potter films, described Hardy as "a very kind man who told wonderful stories". The British Film Institute also posted a message in response to the "sad" news, while Magdalen College, where Hardy attended university, also praised him on Twitter.
