During the 1986 summer holidays, he bred an excess amount of Flobberworms in his hut, which he was unsure what to do with. He informed Jacob's sibling of this at the start of the 1986–1987 school year, before they asked him about Boggarts on the school grounds. He told them Boggarts had not been seen at Hogwarts since Jacob's school days. [25]
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. It is mentioned that Ollivander's window display contains only a single wand on a cushion. We discover later, notably in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, that Voldemort has been hunting artefacts belonging to the four Hogwarts Founders to make into Horcruxes. The wand in Ollivander's window might be Rowena Ravenclaw's. While this may seem related to Ollivander's disappearance in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the lost Ravenclaw artefact, a Diadem (tiara), was found and made into a Horcrux by Voldemort many years before he encountered Harry.His acromantula, Aragog, is not the only “interesting creature” that has attracted Hagrid’s attention; he has since been known to attempt to raise a dragon ( PS14), illegally breed Blast-Ended Skrewts ( GF13), and hide his giant half-brother, Grawp, in the Forbidden Forest ( OP30), in addition to his “normal” creatures like his pet boarhound, Fang. His fascination with such creatures has gotten him in trouble at times as a teacher, such as a lesson on hippogriffs that led to Draco Malfoy getting slashed ( PA6) and a lesson on thestrals, which Umbridge notes are classified as “dangerous” ( OP21). In such cases Hagrid tends to lose his confidence and his nerve, and his classes turn boring for long periods of time ( PA8). 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] Harry, knowing that Hagrid had always wanted a dragon and thinking it far too much a coincidence that a man just happened to bring a rare dragon egg to the local pub, questioned Hagrid alongside Ron and Hermione about what had exactly happened during the card game. This time, Hagrid let slip to the trio what he had told the hooded man: the secret to calming Fluffy was that one simply had to play music and Fluffy would fall asleep. This allowed the trio to pursue the potential thief. Considering how secret the wizard world is kept, why would someone as noticeable as Hagrid be sent to collect Harry and escort him through Central London to Diagon Alley?
As an unqualified wizard who didn’t finish his education, Hagrid was not technically allowed to perform magic. And yet, the beloved gamekeeper seemed very magical. Hagrid’s Hogwarts house is never mentioned in the books, but, given his kindness, noble nature and bravery, it might not come as that much of a surprise that Hagrid was in Gryffindor. He can’t cast a PatronusWhy does Mr Ollivander believe Harry will be a great wizard? What does Harry think about his opinion and why? It's... him... It's... Aragog... I think he's dyin'... He got ill over the summer an' he's not gettin' better... I don' know what I'll do if he... if he... We've bin tergether so long..." — Hagrid regarding a dying Aragog [src] Let’s look at the facts. Hagrid was so large, hairy and bearded, swathed as he usually was in a capacious moleskin coat, that rain would have had a hard time penetrating his tough, half-giant exterior. What need would he really have for a pretty pink umbrella?
My dad was broken-hearted when she wen'. Tiny little bloke, my dad was. By the time I was six I could lift him up an' put him on top o' the dresser if he annoyed me. Used ter make him laugh..." — Hagrid telling Olympe Maxime about his father [src] My job's ter get you there safe, Harry!" — Hagrid to Harry during the Battle of the Seven Potters, in response to Harry's protests that they turn around [src] C'mon, now, get a move on! Got a real treat for yeh today! Great lesson comin' up! Everyone here? Right, follow me!" — Hagrid's passion for magical creatures [src]

Martin Bayfield played Hagrid as a teenager during the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and was dubbed by Robbie Coltrane. Bayfield also often served as the role of Hagrid's body double, wearing a prosthetic Hagrid suit, in scenes such as the final scene of the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in which Hagrid waved goodbye to Harry.
