According to Goring, Hagrid’s "dropped word-endings are a Chepstow speciality." She also claims that Hagrid is physically "modeled on the Welsh chapter of Hells Angels who’d swoop down on the town and hog the bar, 'huge mountains of leather and hair". In her article "Harry’s Fame", Rosemary Goring notes the Forest of Dean is an influence on Rowling’s work, and Hagrid is the only character that is "directly drawn from the Forest of Dean". Hagrid is a big drinker – he has a lot of bad nights." His first name, Rubeus, was named after red in Latin to reflect alchemy and his paternal contrast to Albus Dumbledore: his "passion" to Dumbledore's "asceticism". She has explained the source of his name as "another old English word, meaning – if you were hagrid – it’s a dialect word – you’d had a bad night. Hagrid was among the characters that Rowling says she created on "the very first day". Hagrid was portrayed by Robbie Coltrane in all eight Harry Potter films, from Philosopher's Stone in 2001 to Deathly Hallows – Part 2 in 2011. A loyal, friendly, softhearted personality who is easily brought to tears, he is also known for his thick West Country accent. In the third novel Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Hagrid is promoted to Care of Magical Creatures professor, and is later revealed to be a member of the Order of the Phoenix. He is introduced in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone as a half-giant and half-human who is the gamekeeper and Keeper of Keys and Grounds of Hogwarts, the primary setting for the first six novels.

I don't think it was ever mentioned in canon if he was a Muggle or not.īut since Giants don't seem to be a big-time magic users, and Hagrid can do magic with a wand, it stands to reason that Hagrid most likely inherited it from his father (not certain since there are fully Muggle-born wizards even from 2 human parents) 'Course, I never was great shakes at magic, really – but at least he never saw me expelled. 'Dad was dead chuffed – thought I migh' not be a wizard, see, 'cos me mum – well, anyway. 'Tha' was taken jus' after I got inter Hogwarts,' said Hagrid, croakily. Hagrid was a good seven or eight feet tall, judging by the apple tree beside him, but his face was beardless, young, round and smooth – he looked hardly older than eleven. Hagrid got up, went over to his dresser, opened a drawer and pulled out a picture of a short wizard with Hagrid's crinkled black eyes, beaming as he sat on top of Hagrid's shoulder.
