Hagrid's house?

I don't remember any mention in the books of Hagrid being rumored to be Gryffindor. Sources? (Personally I suspect he's a Hufflepuff, but this is not, after all, Speculationpedia.) I've put it to "unknown" for now. Friday 16:52, 29 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hagrid's house, acording to JKR is Gryffindor.

http://www.scholastic.com/harrypotter/author/transcript2.htm

or

http://www.quick-quote-quill.org/articles/2004/0304-wbd.htm

Nope, neither of those links actually state that Hagrid is in Gryffindor. --Death phoenix 19:56, 29 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry for my insiting on Hagrid's house without proof but I can now give you the accurate house by means of this website;

Why is Hagrid in the catogory "Gyffindors"?

I saw the same. Mention of OTHER Gryffindors, yes. But no Hagrid. Friday 19:58, 29 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

IN the first book, he says something like "Everyone thinks Hufflepuffs are wimps. I don't know what they're talking about, myself, I was a Hufflepuff"--SexyIrishLeprechaun 12:03, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Very good. Page # please! --203.173.168.209 (talk) 11:40, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Head of House?

When is Hagrid identified as being head of Gryffindor house? I'll remove that note unless someone can prove me wrong.--Lkjhgfdsa 22:13, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm deleting the box that shows him as head of house after McGonagall becomes Headmistress. If there's proof of this, let me know and we can replace it. --Lkjhgfdsa 20:53, 31 May 2006 (UTC) we just think that he may but yes do delete it because it's speculatory stuff[reply]

WP:3RR violation

This user has violated WP:3RR. I've reported it to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/3RR#User:68.45.172.185. This page has a lot of new instructions since the last time I went there, so if I've messed it up, please fix my report. Thanks, --Death phoenix 20:12, 29 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

User has now been blocked for twelve hours diff. Keep an eye out for a little while (in case the user changes IPs), but definitely keep an eye out in about twelve hours (I won't: I'll be asleep by then). --Death phoenix 20:17, 29 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

According to this link, Hagrid was in Gryffindor. Hermione1980 20:35, 31 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Much better. Thank you, folks. :-) --Death phoenix 21:38, 31 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I think the books are canon tho, and there's definately a mention of Hagrid being in Hufflepuff in the first book. --SexyIrishLeprechaun 12:22, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Anything directly reported by the author is also canon, as are the Comic Relief books. I believe the order of precedence goes:

The 7 novels & anything directly said by JKR
The Comic Relief books
The films
The video games (questionable?)

Birthday

Where did 1928 come from? Enochlau 09:09, 2 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Well, in CoS, set in 1992, Hagrid was a third year fifty years ago. Take away the 50 years from 1992 makes 1942. Hagrid was third year (13 years old) then, so subtract another 13 years to make 1929. I don't know where the other year came from, but perhaps like Hermione, his birthday is early and thus was 14 in the majority of third year ... To sum up,

                           CoS : 1992
  Hagrid at Hogwarts - 50 years: 1942
Hagrid 14 years old, - 14 years: 1928

Squidward2602 15:24, 2 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Very interesting, thank you. Enochlau 23:25, 2 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Found a better more official like timeline - [1] Squidward2602 17:59, 4 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify: was in his third year 1942/43. First 1940/1. Had to be 11 before 1 Sept 1940 - therefore, Dec 1939. Born Dec 1928. He was NOT 13 at the time chamber opening, he was 14 (I - now - understand the reference to his being 13 above, but it set me entirely wrong at first). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Michaelsanders (talk • contribs) 23:05, 8 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Quote

The Hagrid quote in the article seems to have no context whatsoever. Could it be given some context or removed, please?

Missing info from Actor sentence

"Hagrid is played by Scottish actor Robbie Coltrane, and, in some shots where Hagrid's height needs to be emphasised."

This doesn't make sense, so I've commented out everything after Robie Coltrane. I suspect that something like the name of another actor is missing here. I've not been able to find what it is from a quick look at the history though. Thryduulf 21:57, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Edit

The last sentence of the intro was confusing: did the writer mean that he was first to be introduced to Harry before his coming to school, or before he became his teacher? If its the latter, Harry did not officially meet his teachers (save Quirrell in Stone, Lupin in Azkaban, the fake Moody in Goblet, Umbridge in Phoenix and Slughorn in Prince) until he got to school. I rewrote it with the first view in mind.--Aaronhumes 20:56, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hagrid's Pets section

The Hagrid's Pets section is long enough to be its own article. Shouldn't it be broken off? -Phi*n!x 14:57, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Should we include the Threstrals

i'll add that as a maybe saince he is a creature person

No, as the thestrals don't "belong" to Hagrid, and if you were to put them in, you would have to put every animal in the forbidden forest in. The thestrals belong to Hogwarts Loopywelshemz 21:12, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Titles

Are gamekeeper and keeper of keys actually different positions? We've got two succession boxes now, and it looks cluttered, and my impression was that Hagrid is referred to as one or the other during the series interchangeably, but not in a manner suggesting that he's been double-hatted or anything. Scharferimage 03:23, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It has always been my impression that they are the same thing. The Keeper of Keys is just a fancier title for it since he will mostly likely have the keys to all outdoor buildings and gates of Hogwarts (most noticabally, the main gates).81.151.137.252 20:11, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hagrid's House

In Hogwarts Houses page, Hagrid is listed as a Ravenclaw. What's up?

I think there was something about Hagrid being in Gryffindor in one of the movies or books because I'm pretty sure he is a Gryffindor.

He was a hufflepuff. - Amog |^Talk 08:37, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Norbert to return for Book 7

Norbert the dragon is set to return for this book, as an important part of the plot.

There is no proof of this except that there is a dragon on the deluxe US cover of Harry Potter And the Deathly Hallows that may or may not be Norbert. And since we don't know what he looks like now this dragon might not be Norbert at. Newboy123 18:25, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hagrid's Death???

Someone has stated Hagrid will die in the final book. I would like to see some proof otherwise removed from the article. JustShin 04:37, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

some1 should put spoilers on these discussions, cuse soon ppl r gonna start blabbing bout stuff

Successions Box

Rubeus Hagrid does not die in the final Harry Potter book. At the end he is alive and well even after falling into Lord Voldemort's clutches.

Grawp the pet???

I disagree with Grawp being considered a pet of Hagrid's. Grawp is Hagrid's half brother and should not be labeled a pet.

Magical Staus

Something has always confussed me is why has Hagrid not been given the right to parctise magic again after being cleared of opening the chamber or has he and has just not bothered to get a new wand. Could any one naswer this question

Hagrid was expelled during his 3rd year at hogwarts and thus is not sufficently qualified to preform magic; His wand is hidden in his umbrella, which he can therefore use as a wand. --124.197.54.130 15:12, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A thank you.

To whoever reversed what Grawp the Giant did. Since we cannot assume good faith, may we ban his IP address? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.255.90.147 (talk) 06:58, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hagrid's pets

I moved Talk:Hagrid's pets here (except for {{WPHP}}) and demoted each heading below. 210.50.104.63 (talk) 10:07, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fluffy

I moved Talk:Fluffy (Harry Potter) here then added the "Fluffy" heading above and made the following heading be one level down from before. Brianjd 09:25, 2005 Jan 2 (UTC)

Flute given by Hagrid?

Harry, Ron and Hermione used a flute that had been given to Harry by Hagrid.

Was this in the book? It definitely wasn't in the movie. The article seems to imply that Fluffy was only important in book 1. Brianjd 08:05, 2004 Dec 16 (UTC)

Yes it was. In the book, Harry, Ron and Hermione used a flute that was given to Harry by Hagrid for Christmas to lull Fluffy to sleep. They did see a harp left behind by Quirrell, but it didn't continue to play as it did in the film. Fluffy was only important in the first book/film, considering he hasn't been seen since.

Actually, in the film, they had to jump into the hole when it stopped playing unexpectedly. Brianjd 08:41, 2005 Jan 2 (UTC)

Actually, in the film, they had to jump into the hole when it stopped playing unexpectedly. While true, may I ask how this is relevant?

As his name suggests...

As his name suggests, Fluffy belongs to Hagrid, who got him from a Greek person he met in a pub.

Huh? Brianjd 09:52, 2005 Jan 2 (UTC)

Well, Hagrid's partically the only person on Earth who would name a giant three-headed monster "Fluffy."
