Given Hagrid's interest in unusual pets, it is possible that his activities may have caught the eye of the Illegal Pets Detection service at some point. If anyone wanted ter find out some stuff, all they'd have ter do would be ter follow the spiders. That'd lead 'em right. That's all I'm sayin'." — Hagrid cryptically telling Harry and Ron how to uncover the truth [src]

It's highly possible that Hagrid's wand's core is in the umbrella, but I really think the core would have been broken. I believe Dumbledore just went on ahead and did a reparo like Harry did, in Deathly Hallows.See the Ogg entry; Hagrid would have started his gamekeeper training in 1943 or 1944 after his expulsion from Hogwarts. In the extended version of 'JK Rowling and Daniel Radcliffe - A conversation', [ citation needed] it is revealed that Rubeus is pronounced Roo-Bay-Us. It is unknown why Rowling did not ask for this to be the same in the films, somewhat like Voldemort, which in the books is pronounced with a silent T, except in the British Audible Renditions and American Audible Renditions of the last 3 books. During the 1986 summer holidays, he bred an excess amount of Flobberworms in his hut, which he was unsure what to do with. He informed Jacob's sibling of this at the start of the 1986–1987 school year, before they asked him about Boggarts on the school grounds. He told them Boggarts had not been seen at Hogwarts since Jacob's school days. [25] Hagrid's LEGO mini-figure incarnations consist almost entirely of pieces exclusive only to Hagrid, specifically the body and beard pieces. His head in and of itself is not an exclusive piece, but his face pattern is. Writing by J. K. Rowling: "Colours" at Wizarding World - According to Rowling herself, the first names of Albus Dumbledore and Rubeus Hagrid were chosen based on "the white" and "the red", which were considered essential mystical components of alchemy.

Craftsmanship skills: Due to Hagrid's hands-on style of living, he has developed great skill at building or creating things by hand, such as his clothes, his cabin, and various other items. He is a fine whittler as he crafted a flute from wood that he gave Harry for his first Christmas at Hogwarts that when played made a sound like an owl. He likely also made his commonly worn moleskin overcoat that contains a wide variety of items. Hagrid also likely built the pen that he used to hold the hippogriffs for his first lesson as Professor of Care of Magical Creatures, in autumn of 1993. Hagrid appears smaller in the films than in the novels, as the filmmakers describe him to be 8 feet 6 inches tall (as opposed to being 11 feet six inches in the books). The wedding of Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour is the following day, so Hagrid stays overnight; however, The Burrow is far too full to allow him any place to stay, so he sets up a tent in a neighboring field. He is mentioned briefly as, just before the wedding, he mistakes where he is meant to sit and crushes an entire row of folding chairs, before being shown the reinforced bench which was intended for him.

His wand was 16 inches, and it was described as rather bendy

Hagrid lied twice, his wand wasn't in pieces (not anymore) and he still uses it, but only under Dumbledore's permission. Ollivanders said "I am sorry, very sorry, but a wand that has suffered this degree of damage cannot be repaired by any means that I know of." That is the key, he does not know how to but he is not closed-minded to there being other means to do it or that maybe another person knows how to. During the 2010–2011 school year, before a Care of Magical Creatures class, Hagrid heard his students discussing their sightings of something in the Great Lake and talked about what he thought it might've been. Later, when the unidentified student provided enough evidence to let Hagrid believe it was a Kelpie, he talked to them about the creature's temperaments and offered suggestions on what spells to use when dealing with one, such as the Placement Charm for putting a bridle on it, and the Bubble-Head Charm to breathe underwater while riding it. After the substitute Study of Ancient Runes professor Elspeth MacGillony was arrested, Hagrid met with the involved students by the Great Lake and discussed the Kelpie, encouraging the unidentified student to take a ride. [32] and all my other harry potter wands basicallyyou know, are so much smaller in comparison to this one Arbalist skills: Hagrid was also a skilled crossbowman, a crossbow being his primary means of defence as he was not (officially) allowed to use magic, limiting his experience in magical duelling.

Snape, on the other hand, defected from Voldemort, and Hagrid defended him whenever Harry, Ron and Hermione criticised him, except when he temporarily believed that Snape had betrayed Dumbledore at the Astronomy Tower. But what happened, Harry? I jus' saw them Death Eaters runnin down from the castle, but what the ruddy hell was Snape doin' with ‘em? Where's he gone — was he chasin' them?" — Hagrid's confusion after the Battle of the Astronomy Tower [src] At dinner before the Third Task, Harry notices that Madame Maxime's eyes are red, and that Hagrid keeps glancing at her.Hagrid seems to have poor spelling, as seen when he shows Harry his birthday cake. In addition to this, when Hagrid tells Harry about how his parents were killed, Harry asked You-Know-Who's name. Hagrid responded he didn't want to say his name and when Harry suggested to write it down, Hagrid said he couldn't spell "Voldemort". It is possible that Hagrid was close with Ron and Hermione's daughter, Rose Granger-Weasley and their son Hugo Granger-Weasley, as he was planning to have tea with Harry's son, Albus, in 2017.

The wand was snapped in half in 1942, broken by a Hogwarts or Ministry of Magic employee because he was mistakenly expelled for releasing the beast in the Chamber of Secrets. Given that Draco's wife Astoria helped to raise their son to be a kinder man than Draco was in his youth, it can be assumed that Scorpius Malfoy had a better relationship with Hagrid than his father did. This is also likely due to Scorpius being best friends with Albus Potter who was already a good friend of Hagrid's before his first year. |Hogwarts students | Hogwarts Thestral herd | British Ministry of Magic | Giant colony ( Karkus's control) Interview with Rowling and Fry at the Royal Albert Hall - "that's why Hagrid has that accent; He comes from The Forest of Dean."

He can’t cast a Patronus

As well as being Rowling's first choice for the role of Hagrid, Coltrane was also the first person cast in the movie. Interestingly, Coltrane is one of the few actors to play a character older than themselves (Hagrid is in his 60s throughout the series, whilst Coltrane was 51 when he first played Hagrid and 61 the last time he did.) Hagrid sends Harry The Monster Book of Monsters as a birthday present, hinting that this is part of a secret that he cannot yet disclose. The secret is that Hagrid is the new Care of Magical Creatures teacher, replacing Professor Kettleburn who "retired at the end of last year to enjoy more time with his remaining limbs." Harry and Ron follow a trail of spiders into the Forbidden Forest. There, Harry meets Aragog, a giant spider that was once Hagrid's pet. Aragog reveals that he was not the monster, though he knew what it was, and that Hagrid is innocent. Aragog mentions that he had never been anywhere near the bathroom where the girl had died. This clue leads Harry to understand that the girl in question was Moaning Myrtle, and thus to locate the entrance to the Chamber in her bathroom. In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Hagrid is the only one not pointing his wand in the air after Dumbledore's death, most likely so he could keep the secret that it was fixed. According to the author, Hagrid's birthday is December 6th; events in the stories lead us to believe he is approximately 60 years old when Harry first attends Hogwarts.
