Location of childhood home: "West Country," which usually refers to Devon, Somerset and Cornwall (R4). Siblings: Grawp, a giant half-brother ( OP30).Ĭhildhood: Raised by his human (presumably wizard) father and orphaned in his second year at Hogwarts Dumbledore looked out for him after that. Mother: Fridwulfa, one of the last British giants she abandoned the family when Hagrid was 3 years old ( GF23).įather: An unnamed human, died 1941-2 during Hagrid’s second year at Hogwarts ( GF23). Of course it didn’t turn out quite like Voldemort planned ( DH35). After Harry was “killed,” Hagrid was forced to carry his friend back to Hogwarts as a symbol of Voldemort’s complete victory.
During the first part of the fighting, Hagrid was captured by Voldemort’s giants and tied up in the forest. Hagrid and his half-brother fought in the Battle of Hogwarts. When Harry was on the run from the Ministry of Magic, Hagrid also threw a ‘Support Harry Potter’ party in his house, and was nearly arrested ( DH22). Harry, Ron, and Hermione visited Hagrid’s hut regularly while in school ( OP20), and Hagrid has served several times as a bodyguard for Harry ( HBP6, DH4). In such cases Hagrid tends to lose his confidence and his nerve, and his classes turn boring for long periods of time ( PA8).įrom the moment he was sent to retrieve Harry for his first year at Hogwarts, Hagrid and Harry Potter became friends, and have remained so ever since. His fascination with such creatures has gotten him in trouble at times as a teacher, such as a lesson on hippogriffs that led to Draco Malfoy getting slashed ( PA6) and a lesson on thestrals, which Umbridge notes are classified as “dangerous” ( OP21). His acromantula, Aragog, is not the only “interesting creature” that has attracted Hagrid’s attention he has since been known to attempt to raise a dragon ( PS14), illegally breed Blast-Ended Skrewts ( GF13), and hide his giant half-brother, Grawp, in the Forbidden Forest ( OP30), in addition to his “normal” creatures like his pet boarhound, Fang. In 1993, his name was cleared through the efforts of Harry Potter and his friends. As a result Hagrid is fiercely loyal to Dumbledore, who has been heard to say that he “would trust Hagrid with my life” ( PS1).
Albus Dumbledore, then the Transfiguration teacher at Hogwarts, arranged for him to stay on as gamekeeper, and took care of him. This set him up to be framed by Tom Riddle for opening the Chamber of Secrets, and at the end of his third year he was expelled and his wand broken in two ( CS17). While at school he was known to be something of a troublemaker – among other things, raising an acromantula in the school. His childhood was difficult, as his mother Fridwulfa, a giantess, left the family when he was three, and his father died during Hagrid’s second year at Hogwarts ( GF23). The son of a human and a giantess, Hagrid tends to stick out ( PS6) and has been subjected to much prejudice ( GF24, OP15). He lives in a hut on the Hogwarts grounds near the Forbidden Forest with his pet boarhound, Fang ( PS8). Hagrid’s appearance is very intimidating, but his disposition is kind in fact, his soft heart tends to lead him to cry rather a lot ( PA11). He is excessively fond of “interesting creatures” - that anyone else would call fearsome monsters. Rubeus Hagrid is a half-giant with shaggy hair and a “wild, tangled beard” ( PS1) who serves as the Keeper of Keys and Grounds, Gamekeeper, and Care of Magical Creatures professor at Hogwarts ( PS4, PA6).
