RUBEUS HAGRID

Huge, hairy and seemingly frightening, Hagrid is the kindly Hogwarts gamekeeper. He and Harry Potter share a special friendship, as it was Hagrid who rescued Harry first from the wreckage of Godric's Hollow, and second from the Dursley's when he whisked Harry away to Hogwarts. Hagrid is immensely faithful to his friends, and his loyalty to Dumbledore borders on the fanatic. "Great man, Dumbledore," is one of Hagrid's most common phrases. It was Dumbledore who allowed Hagrid to become gamekeeper after his wrongful expulsion, who refused Hagrid's resignation when word leaked out he was half-giant, and who defended him during the basilisk crisis of Harry's second year. Hagrid became a teacher Harry's third year, and was given the opportunity to share his love of monstrous beasts with students, who don't seem to share his enthusiasm. Indeed, Hagrid's adoration of the dangerous has caused a few problems, but for the most part all has worked out for the best. Hagrid and Madam Maxime were sent by the Order of the Phoenix to the remaining giant colonies to try and convince them to join the fight against Voldemort. The mission was largely unsuccessful; while Hagrid was separated on good terms with Olympe Maxime, he did bring home his half brother (a full-blooded giant), Grawp. His attempts to 'socialize' Grawp have also been largely unsuccessful, and in the latest novel Hagrid has demonstrated his inability to face the facts when it comes to dangerous creatures, and is completely oblivious to the ambivalence others feel towards those creatures. I hope he figures this out eventually, but have a feeling he won't. Poor Hagrid.

"'...least yer not in trouble.' Harry would have pointed out that trouble didn't come much worse than having slugs pouring out of your mouth, but he couldn't ; Hagrid's treacle fudge had cemented his jaws together. 'Harry,' said Hagrid abruptly as though struck by a sudden thought. 'Gotta bone ter pick with yeh. I've heard you've bin givin' out signed photos. How come I haven't got one?' Furious, Harry wrenched his teeth apart. 'I have not been giving out signed photos, ' he said hotly. 'If Lockhart's still spreading that around-' But then he saw that Hagrid was laughing. 'I'm on'y jokin,' he said, patting Harry genially on the back and sending him face first into the table." CoS, pg 117
