Finally, with Dumbledore’s post as Headmaster restored, Hagrid returns to Hogwarts. Rubeus Hagrid (/ˈhæɡrɪd/) is a fictional character in the Harry Potter book series written by J. He is introduced in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone as a half-giant and half-human who is the gamekeeper and Keeper of Keys and Grounds of Hogwarts, the primary setting for the first six novels. In the third novel Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Hagrid is promoted to Care of Magical Creatures professor, and is later revealed to be a member of the Order of the Phoenix. A loyal, friendly, softhearted personality who is easily brought to tears, he is also known for his thick West Country accent. In 1992, Hagrid broke up a fight between Arthur Weasley and Lucius Malfoy in Flourish and Blotts, though Hagrid was more sympathetic to Arthur.

Hagrid led Harry and Ron to Aragog by giving them the cryptic advice, "follow the spiders". Though Aragog allowed his children to attack Harry, Ron, and Fang, they were saved at the last minute by Ron's father Arthur Weasley's flying Ford Anglia, which had been lost in the forest months before. Aragog remained in the Forbidden Forest for the rest of his life, but eventually died of old age in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Hagrid retrieved Aragog’s body from the forest so that he could give him a proper burial, fearing that his children would devour his body.
Tom Riddle/Lord Voldemort
Hermione can't understand why Hagrid would bring him back, especially after he said no giants wanted to make the journey. Rowling revealed in a live chat hosted by Barnes and Noble and Yahoo! in 2000 that he was sorted into Gryffindor while he was a student (archived by Accio-Quote). At first glance, Hagrid might seem frightening – a giant of a man with long, shaggy hair, a wild beard, beetle-like eyes and pockets full of cake and dormice. His loyalty is fierce and he’s kind to a fault, because Hagrid never judges on appearance – on the contrary, the scarier reputation a creature has, the more likely Hagrid is to sympathise.
Second Wizarding War (1995-
Hagrid was two years below Tom Riddle at Hogwarts, and in Hagrid's third year, Riddle opened the Chamber of Secrets, unleashing a Basilisk on Muggle-born students. After the death of Myrtle Warren, Hogwarts was in danger of closing, and to prevent that happening, Riddle framed Hagrid and his pet Acromantula, Aragog, for the crime. Hagrid protected Aragog from Riddle, throwing him to the ground when he tried to curse Aragog, making Hagrid the only person to challenge Riddle while he was a student. Despite this, Hagrid was expelled from Hogwarts and had his wand snapped in half by the Ministry of Magic.[18] Believing in Hagrid's innocence, however, Professor Albus Dumbledore convinced then-Headmaster Armando Dippet to allow Hagrid to stay on at Hogwarts as gamekeeper. Hagrid had a huge friendship with Aragog, whom he had hatched in an egg when he was a student at Hogwarts.

Case in point, Neville Longbottom was sorted into Gryffindor because the Hat sensed that he was capable of demonstrating bravery and leadership during his time at Hogwarts.[4][14] However, these qualities did not fully surface until Neville learned to believe in himself. It is unclear if the Sorting Hat tended to place students based on qualities they valued or rather qualities they exhibited. One example of the former is Peter Pettigrew, who was sorted into Gryffindor but ultimately turned out to be quite cowardly, self-serving and corruptible.

After the dark wizard was finally beaten, former head of House Gryffindor Minerva McGonagall was appointed the new headmistress of the school, and Neville Longbottom eventually became the herbology professor. The school grounds were repaired and reopened as the school continued business as usual. Rowling unleashed her "Harry Potter" books upon the world, fans have spent a great deal of time dreaming of getting their invitation to Hogwarts, Britain's premier source of mystic education, and discovering which of its four houses they would ultimately be sorted into.
In "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," Hagrid is back to teaching with confidence. This goes against the Ban on Experimental Breeding, which was passed in 1965 by the Ministry of Magic ("Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"). The lesson doesn't go well, with Draco Malfoy injuring himself because he didn't follow instructions. The school governors, including Draco's father Lucius, are informed, and Hagrid is convinced he would lose his job. He does have to go to a hearing, which results in the decision to execute Buckbeak, the hippogriff responsible for the injury.
Hagrid openly opposed Snape when he became the Headmaster of Hogwarts by holding a Support Harry Potter party (unaware Snape was secretly still on their side), an act which almost resulted in his arrest and forced him to go into hiding until the final battle. Before Hagrid fled, Snape put students in detentions with Hagrid, ensuring that they were protected from the harsher and torturous punishments from the Carrows. However, Hagrid eventually learned of Snape's true loyalties during the final confrontation of the Battle of Hogwarts.

She later brought Ministry officials to Hagrid's Hut in the middle of the night, either to arrest or forcibly remove him from the premises, though Hagrid was able to resist with the help of Minerva McGonagall and go on the run. Hagrid and Argus Filch regularly found themselves at odds; Filch thought that Hagrid was "an oaf," and even told Mrs Norris, his cat, to keep an eye on the Gateskeeper. Filch did not seem to care or even really acknowledge when Hagrid became a professor, possibly because he was a half-giant, and Hagrid, for his part, called Filch a "sneakin' Squib", when the latter insulted him. Hagrid learned the truth in 1995 once Voldemort returned, a year after Sirius escaped from Azkaban and exposed Pettigrew as having been in hiding as Ron Weasley's pet rat, Scabbers.
Although many thought that Voldemort was dead, Hagrid, agreeing with Dumbledore, believed that he would return one day, as he believed that he did not "have enough human left in him to die". As with most of the wizarding community, he refused to speak Voldemort's name, and generally referred to him as "You-Know-Who." However, when he first explained Voldemort's background to Harry, he reluctantly said Voldemort's name. When Voldemort was searching for the Philosopher's Stone, he took advantage of Hagrid's love and knowledge of magical creatures and through Quirinus Quirrell, gathered the secret of subduing Fluffy through music from a drunken Hagrid, who was remorseful afterwards. Since Voldemort had a certain respect for Hogwart's professors, it is not known if that included Hagrid, who taught Care of Magical Creatures. Fridwulfa left the family because her son was "too small" for her liking, though Hagrid never seemed to resent her for abandoning him, generally appearing relatively indifferent about his lack of relationship with her. On the other hand, he was saddened by his father's death, though he was at least glad that his father did not live to see Rubeus expelled from school.
He has a pink umbrella that he uses to, among other things, curse Dudley and speed up a boat. When Mr Ollivander questions whether Hagrid still uses the pieces of his wand, Harry notices that Hagrid clutches his umbrella very tightly. As Hagrid was expelled from Hogwarts, it makes sense that he might not have mastered the art of casting a Patronus. Indeed, you can read here that ‘the majority of witches and wizards are unable to produce Patronuses and to do so is generally considered a mark of superior magical ability’. Given Hagrid’s immense size (he is half-giant, after all), it’s no wonder that his wand would follow suit. Sitting at an awe-inspiring 16 inches, the wand, which was made of oak, has also been described as rather bendy.
Hagrid also knew she had a crush on Harry Potter, and playfully teased Harry about the fact in 1992. Though Hagrid was himself a supporter of magical creatures, he disagreed when Hermione decided to create SPEW. Hermione pointed out how unhappy Dobby was being with Lucius, but Hagrid also pointed out that other house-elves considered him to be crazy.
When Harry appeared in the forest Hagrid shouted for him to run, though was silenced by Rowle and was forced to watch as Harry sacrificed himself. Nymphadora Tonks's parents, Ted and Andromeda healed their injuries, as Hagrid comforted Harry over the death of his beloved pet owl Hedwig, saying she had lived a "good old life". Since Hagrid had a history of having trouble keeping secrets, Fleur Delacour suspected Hagrid was the one who had unintentionally leaked the date of the intended move.
Hagrid was later horrified and guilt-ridden when he learnt of Quirrell's true nature after his death, calling him an "evil git" and blaming himself for Harry's injuries during his encounter with Quirrell and Voldemort. Its corresponding element is earth, and one of its original students, Hengist of Woodcroft, founded the wizarding village of Hogsmeade near the Hogwarts Castle grounds. During the "Harry Potter" series, Pomona Sprout, the professor of herbology, was Hufflepuff's head of house.
The students had never heard of them, which makes sense, because Hagrid invented them. As part of a year-long project in the course, students are tasked with feeding, walking, and taking care of the creatures, mostly due to Hagrid not knowing what they would eat or how they would behave. It is revealed by Aberforth in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" that Hagrid and Grawp hid in a cave near the school after the groundskeeper was nearly arrested for throwing a Support Harry Potter party, and the two brothers participate in the Battle of Hogwarts. Dumbledore sent him and Madame Maxime to a giant colony in hopes of preventing them from joining forces with Voldemort. They were mostly successful, convincing their leader Karkus, to side with the light.
On the way back to the school, Hagrid expressed his fury with the centaurs for staying out of the fight, prompting them to join in soon after.[31] Hagrid was among the first to congratulate Harry after his defeat of Voldemort, showing his disdain for the Dark Lord. Detention with Hagrid consisted of work in the Forbidden Forest, which was far safer than detention with Amycus and Alecto Carrow. Later that year, Hagrid narrowly escaped arrest after holding a Support Harry Potter party in his hut.
