Hagrid

Background

Rubeus Hagrid is the keeper of keys and grounds at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He has a pet dog named Fang.


During the events of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) played by Robbie Coltrane

Albus Dumbledore uses his delluminator to capture the light from the streetlamps on Privet Drive. Professor McGonagall transforms from a cat and shortly after, Hagrid arrives on his flying motorcycle and hands Harry Potter to Dumbledore and he leaves a note to Aunt Petunia Dursley and Uncle Vernon Dursley. The Dursley's go to a remote shack to live to avoid receiving mail and on Harry's 11th birthday, Hagrid shows up and gives Harry a birthday cake. Hagrid introduces himself to Harry and tells Harry he is a wizard, before handing Harry his acceptance letter from Hogwarts. Uncle Vernon tells Hagrid, Harry will not be going to Hogwarts and Aunt Petunia insults Harry's mother Lilly Potter. Uncle Vernon insults Dumbledore and Hagrid makes Dudley Dursley grow a pig tail when he sees Dudley eating Harry's birthday cake. Hagrid and Harry then leave and go to London. Hagrid and Harry go into the Leaky Cauldron and Hagrid introduces Harry to the Bartender in Leaky Cauldron and Professor Quirrell. They leave through the back of the Leaky Cauldron and Hagrid taps the brick wall with his umbrella and after the bricks form a door, they enter Diagon Alley. They go to Gringotts Bank and Hagrid tells Goblin Bank Teller that Harry wishes to withdraw some money. Hagrid hands the Goblin Bank Teller Harry's key and a top secret letter from Dumbledore addressed to The Head Goblin in charge of all Goblins at Gringotts Bank. Griphook takes Harry and Hagrid to Harry's vault and then they go to vault 713 and Hagrid picks up something bundled in cloth. They travel to Ollivanders and Mr Ollivander helps Harry find the right wand for him. Hagrid knocks on the store window and shows Harry his birthday present, Hedwig. Hagrid tells Harry the story of Voldemort and how Harry's parents Lilly Potter and James Potter stood up to Voldemort, but were eventually killed by him. Hagrid tells Harry he has to leave and hands him a ticket from London to Hogwarts by way of Platform 9 3/4. In school, Harry, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley tell Hagrid they think Professor Snape was trying to curse Harry and tell him they think he is trying to steal whatever is hidden in the room with Fluffy, but Hagrid tells them not to meddle in places they don't belong and accidentally mentions the name Nicholas Flamel. After they figure out who Nicholas Flamel is, Harry, Ron and Hermione go to Hagrid's hut and tell him they know about the Sorceror's Stone. They tell him they think Snape is trying to steal the stone, but Hagrid tells them he is one of the professors protecting it. As they are talking to Hagrid, Fang starts sniffing Ron's face. Hagrid pulls out a dragon egg, which hatches into a Norwegian Ridgeback dragon, which Hagrid names Norbert. For detention for being out past curfew, Harry, Hermione, Ron and Draco Malfoy are brought by Mr Filch to help Hagrid in the Dark Forest. Hagrid tells them Dumbledore made him send Norbert to Romania. They follow Hagrid and Fang into the forest and find unicorn blood and Hagrid tells them he found one dead a few weeks ago and their goal is to find the wounded unicorn. They split up and Harry and Draco go with Fang. By accident Hagrid reveals the trick to get past Fluffy. As Harry is leaving for the semester, Hagrid gives him a photo album with a photo of Harry as a baby with his parents.
