Of course, the flowery accessory was far less flimsy than it looked. Although the truth was never confirmed, it was Harry’s utmost belief that the brolly contained the broken pieces of Hagrid’s old school wand (oak, 16 inches, rather bendy) that was snapped in half when Hagrid was expelled during his third year at Hogwarts.
the ends are very similar and I would say that the handle of the actual wandis a little bit more detailed in the real prop as you can see the Noble Collection Hagrid Wand, I think is a pretty good replica Albus Dumbledore placed great trust in Hagrid, which Hagrid returned with fierce loyalty and unwavering admiration. This loyalty always flared up whenever someone insulted Dumbledore, one time causing Hagrid to give Dudley Dursley a pig's tail, and causing him to choke Igor Karkaroff another time. Hagrid would often describe Dumbledore as a "great man". Dumbledore also trusted him to move the Philosopher's Stone from Gringotts Wizarding Bank to the school and believed Hagrid could offer Harry as much protection as "a bunch" of Ministry Aurors could while shopping in Diagon Alley, in 1996. [30] In 1995, Dumbledore gave Hagrid the difficult task of approaching the giant colonies of the North and dissuading them joining forces with Lord Voldemort, knowing Hagrid was fully capable of the delicate handling required to court the Gurg. [19] Hagrid always stoutly defended Severus Snape against Harry's doubts and allegations, on the basis that Albus Dumbledore trusted Snape completely. When Snape killed Dumbledore, Hagrid initially disbelieved the fact and told Harry he must be mistaken but was later furious to learn that Snape had indeed killed the late Headmaster. 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.Hagrid was born on 6 December 1928 to Mr Hagrid, a wizard, and Fridwulfa, a giantess, and grew up in the West Country of England, near the Forest of Dean, where he acquired his distinctive accent. [15] [16] 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. Be grateful if yeh didn't mention that ter anyone at Hogwarts. I'm — er — not supposed ter do magic, strictly speakin'. I was allowed ter do a bit ter follow yeh an' get yer letters to yeh an' stuff — one o' the reasons I was so keen ter take on the job —" — Hagrid explaining to Harry his rare usage of magic [src]
Hagrid was not charged for raising Aragog under the Ban on Experimental Breeding because it was enacted in 1965, 22 years later. At year's end, Hagrid presents Harry with a photo album containing many photos of his late parents.Fang can be seen on the school grounds since the beginning of the 1984–1985 school year. Hagrid referred to him as a puppy during the 1985–1986 school year. On 30 June 1997, during the Battle of the Astronomy Tower, Hagrid successfully cast the Water-Making Spell, after Harry reminded him what the incantation was and together, with Harry's help, they extinguished the fire that was consuming his hut. [8] Thestrals will sometimes go for birds, of course, but Hagrid's got the Hogwarts thestrals well trained not to touch owls ..." — Wilhelmina Grubbly-Plank complimenting Hagrid's gift for training magical beasts [src] Now in his second year as Care of Magical Creatures teacher, Hagrid has regained enough confidence to start the class learning about something he calls Skrewts. These creatures, which initially look like shell-less, deformed lobsters, are totally new to all the students and to Hagrid; one of the things that Hagrid has the students doing is try to determine what exactly Skrewts eat. One gets the feeling that Hagrid, in his unscientific way, is trying to teach the class how to determine the characteristics of a hitherto unknown species. He will later, with the only somewhat willing assistance of the class, study their activity over a longer period, attempt to determine whether they want nesting boxes in which to hibernate (they do not), and give them exercise by having the students walk them on leashes (which becomes difficult as the Skrewts become as large as the students).
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]At the beginning of the school year, Harry is deeply concerned that Hagrid has not returned to Hogwarts; his classes are being taught by Professor Grubbly-Plank, and no one will say where Hagrid is or when he will return. 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. She wasn' really the maternal sort. Well ... it's not in their natures, is it?" — Hagrid discussing his mother [src] considering thatit is real wood, that has real metal features, that it does actually open as an umbrella
On Harry's eleventh birthday, Hagrid personally delivers his Hogwarts invitation and explains to him that he is a wizard, "... and a thumpin' good one, I'd say, once yeh've been trained up a bit." He takes Harry to Diagon Alley to buy his school supplies. While there, he collects a mysterious object for Professor Dumbledore from Gringotts Wizarding Bank.
Besides, being a half giant he had an advantage by having a strong tolerance against the curses and jinxes that the Death Eaters threw at him. That compensated for the low magic skills he had. 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.
