Legacy
By the end of his life, Harry Brogan had starred in 18 films and over 80 theatre productions. His legacy was survived by his five children. Three of his children went on to work in theatre production and acting. Harry Brogan's daughters Patricia and Anne Brogan became actresses. Anne Brogan preformed in the The Abbey Theatre in Dublin just as her father did, starring in seven theatre productions written in the Irish language. His son John Brogan, became the stage manager for the Olympia Theatre in Dublin and served there for over 30 years when he retired in 2008.

Harry Brogan was regarded as one of Irelands finest comedic actors by the time of his death. The Irish Theatre Institute listed him as one of the most frequently appearing male actors in Irish theatre for their report on Irish Playography from 1904 - 2006. His loyalty to the Abbey theatre made him widely regarded as one of their best loved actors. His appearance on stage was always received well by audiences. His renowned portrayal of Uncle Peter in Séan O'Casey's "The Plough and the Stars" would receive a round of applause before he even spoke on stage. He helped portray a myriad of characters in some of the greatest productions in the history of Irish theatre brought to the movie screen. Such films as "The Quare Fellow" by Brendan Behan in 1962 and "Lies My Father Told Me" by Ted Allen in 1960.

In 2014, The Abbey theatre uploaded a YouTube video from their "Oral History Project" to the website, titled "memories of Harry Brogan". The video showcases a series of interviews from well known Irish actors such as Niall Buggy and Stephen Rea, recalling fond memories they have of Harry Brogan and his work with The Abbey Theatre.
