Hagrid Deserves Better.

Hagrid deserves better.

Okay, can I just talk about how unfair the world was to hagrid? Like first off they treated his dad like shit because he fell in love with a giantess. Then he gets to go to school where they kick him out because some weird ass preppy Slytherin was prettier than him and was a full wizard. Hagrid literally took in a creature that would not have survived if not for him. Aragog was too small to live on his own in the forbidden Forrest at the time and we all have accepted that newt gave Argog to hagrid so he wouldn’t have had the instincts to survive because he had been domesticated pretty much his entire life. So hagrid takes this creature that no one else would want, tries to help it, and gets expelled from school, gets his magic taken away from him cause they snapped his wand, all because they didn’t like that he was half giant. Like they didn’t even really investigate they were just like oh, the half-giant 13 YEAR OLD murdered someone? Cool let’s kick him out of wizarding society. And then he gets to live at hogwarts cause dumbledore decided to feel remorse for one thing in his life but still literally doesn’t help him even after they have FUCKING PROOF of the chamber in Harry’s second year. Like they had a fucking snake carcass in the basement just fucking take some pictures of that shit and be like yo I’m dumbledore I dueled grindelwald and here’s ya proof get my boy his wand back but fucking no. Instead he makes hagrid feel indebted to him and makes hagrid feel like dumbledore is so good for giving him a job and treating him like a normal fucking person that he listens to dumbledores every whim. Plus while hagrid is teaching that class he gets bullied by FUCKING TEENAGERS for NO REASON! Like he tries to make these classes fun for these students and yeah he may not be the best judge of danger because he’s kinda stronger than these kids and he always has been. These creatures aren’t as dangerous to him because he’s half giant so it’s not his fault that he doesn’t understand why the kids are so scared. And he also doesn’t understand people that well because HE WAS LITERALLY KICKED OUT OF SOCIETY BECAUSE A HOMICIDAL MANIAC USED HIM AS A SCAPEGOAT AND THEN A CONTROLLING WANNABE MERLIN FUCKING USED THAT TO MAKE HIM FEEL INDEBTED TO HIM SO THAT HE WOULD HAVE THIS BIG TOUGH GUY WHEN VOLDEMORT CAME BACK. And then when Voldemort did come back, hagrid was chained and used as bait for someone whose parents he knew when they were at hogwarts. Someone who he picked up out of the rubble of his home after his parents were murdered. Sirius literally trusted hagrid so much that he gave him his enchanted motorcycle and LET HIM TAKE HARRY. Because we all know that if it were someone else, Sirius never would have let them leave that house with Harry. But no instead he gives him one of his most prized possessions so that he could take his newly orphaned godson away from him because he trusted hagrid. And then hagrid was the one to find that little boy and bring him back into the world that his parents loved so dear and he gets to watch him grow and struggle and then he has to carry that boy’s dead body out of the forest while he is in chained by the man who used him as a scapegoat and crushed his hopes of becoming a wizard. And after all of that he is still the kindest character in the series. Hagrid deserved better than that. He is the best character because after all of that he never used Harry. He was one of the adults in Harry’s life that only wanted the best for him and didn’t use him. Hagrid deserves more love.
