Maxime, although a half-giant with the height to prove it, denies her ancestry publicly, insisting that she is just "big-boned" (GF23).
Maxime's principles overrode her desire to protect herself from anti-giant prejudice when she agreed to accompany Hagrid as an envoy to the giants.
Maxime's feelings for Hagrid are open to interpretation, and seem to have developed gradually over time.

Madam Maxime is the Headmistress of Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
It was here that he put it to Olympe that she was a half-giant just like him - he was right of course, but she was not impressed that she'd been rumbled.
Olympe certainly showed another side to her personality during this time: normally used to jewels, satin and the finer things in life, she showed an admirable ability to cope with the hardships of traveling through the mountains and negotiating with 20-foot psychopaths.

 Beauxbatons
It was first introduced in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the fourth novel and existed at least 700 years ago, as that was when they began participating in the Triwizard Tournament.
Beuxbatons is located in France and its headmistress is Olympe Maxime.
As both Hogwarts and Durmstrang are in castles and Fleur Delacour said Beauxbatons was a palace, it is likely that Beauxbatons is also inside a castle.

This is how he's described in the first chapter of the first book: “He was almost twice as tall as a normal man and at least five times as wide.” If you're twice the height of a human and five times the width then you're fat, simple as that.
Olympe Maxime is perhaps a little more contentious, but I firmly believe that there is enough evidence to support her inclusion.
After all, the most notable thing about half-giants is their height, but Olympe is not once referred to simply as tall — always as “large”, “huge” and even “enormous” on occasions.

 A GIFT FOR MADAME MAXIME
According to gossip, this Madame Olympe Maxime stood head and shoulders above the average lady… literally.
He automatically ducked his head as he went through the door, though he noted absently in passing that he didn’t need to duck nearly as much as he normally did; the door was of a decent size as well as solidly built, which indicated an older building, not one of those modern slap-togethers.
He found the lady gargoyle—Una, that was her name, and it was quite a pretty horn she had, though it didn’t have the inner glow of a true unicorn’s horn—at the counter, dealing with a Muggle customer.

 Nasubionna's Harry Potter Tribute
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.

Madame Olympe Maxime welcomed them with open arms and a forced cheery smile, and even invited a few of the most talented professors at Hogwarts to come and help teach some of the classes.
Some, however, decided to stay were they were, as Hogwarts was there home and said they would instead be focusing on "more important matters that needed their utmost attention".
With Severus Snape (the wanted criminal) out in the open, and Albus Dumbledore dead, the last thing the wizarding world needed is to lose their three celebrity heroes.

Except for Michael Gambon's Dumbledore, who becomes more central than ever, some of the other delightful regulars get reduced screen time, including Maggie Smith's McGonagall, Alan Rickman's Snape and Robbie Coltrane's Hagrid, who enjoys a romance with Frances de la Tour's Madame Maxime, the head of Beauxbaton, who's even taller than he.
