 | | Hagrid is as much as twice as tall as the average man. He loves magical creatures, particularly unusual or even dangerous ones although he usually insists most of them are only dangerous due to a handler's disrespect or ignorance. |
 | | Hagrid rescued Harry from his parents house, which was destroyed by Lord Voldemort, and in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone he is given the task of locating Harry, as Vernon Dursley continually attempts to escape Harry's school letters. |
 | | Hagrid keeps the pieces of his wand in an umbrella, and performs small spells from time to time; however, he is technically forbidden to do magic, and perhaps because he only got three years practice at it before his expulsion, he seems to be somewhat deficient in it as compared to other adult wizards. |
