How does Hagrid exist?
So, in the books, Hagrid is half giant, with his dad being human and his mom being a giant. Giants in the Harry Potter universe are I think 28-26 something feet tall? (I don’t know for sure, as I don’t own any of the books and it has been a while since I read them). So how does a human (probably 5-6 feet tall) do the ol’ frick frack with a giant (20 something feet tall) ???
Hagrid walked so the cottagecore girlies could run

Is it bad that sometimes out of the middle of no where I quote a line from Harry Potter.
albus severus potter doesnt exist. HOWEVER arthur l. rubeus potter does exist and he goes by al and idk what the l stands for but it is important to me that harry didnt name his son after dumbledore and snape and completely disregarded ginny's father and BASICALLY HIS OWN FATHER LIKE CMON HARRY DID YOU SERIOUSLY FORGET ABOUT HAGRID
i’ve been thinking abt this a lot. so when i rewatched the harry potter movies recently, i noticed that hagrid never calls draco by his first name. even in a learning setting, where he’s a professor, he calls harry hermione and ron by their first names but simply calls draco “malfoy” and i have a theory as to why. so obviously hagrid is friends with hermione and ron because like any friend of harry’s is a friend of hagrid’s, right? so when draco calls hermione a mudblood, hagrid is angry because obviously that’s horrible and it made her cry for gods’ sake! and i have a feeling hagrid is the type of person who would forever defend his friends, and although he remains mostly polite to draco in his lessons, hagrid’s little way of showing that he stands by hermione, without getting him in trouble of course, is to never call him draco, but simply malfoy when he’s being addressed. that’s it, that’s all i have to say

Thanks Hagrid! There's really no Hogwarts without Hagrid. What's comin' will come and we'll meet it when it does.
I am what I am, an’ I’m not ashamed. ‘Never be ashamed,’ my ol’ dad used ter say, ‘there’s some who’ll hold it against you, but they’re not worth botherin’ with.
Rubeus Hagrid, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
Hagrid
Rubeus Hagrid; Half-giant, great giant, great Gryffindor, great man, great brother, great friend, great everything. The two things I love the most about Hagrid both have to do with his love, (1) his love for Harry, and (2) his love of everything else
We all know that Sirius loved Harry, but he wasn’t the only one and on another note, I feel part of Sirius’ love for Harry was connected to James. When I think of Hagrid’s love for Harry I think of Molly (and Arthur), who loved him unconditionally. I think of someone who saw Harry as an equal, as a friend, as someone with their own reactions and thoughts; not as someone to be manipulated, convinced or as a child.
One of the biggest issues I will always have is that none of Harry’s children were named after Hagrid, mostly, because Harry never truly appreciated Hagrid. While he did care for Hagrid, he never had all the respect for him that he should have, some of the respect that he gave to Dumbledore should have been with Hagrid. This is a shame for both of them, as they have a lot in common that Harry didn’t with anyone else. For starters, they both had terrible childhoods and adolescence that related a lot to their loss of parents and community. when they were both young Hagrid’s mother left him and Harry’s parents died. In their teens, Hagrid’s father died and he was kicked out of school and Harry would consistently have to deal with the Dursleys and would become an outcast whenever the admiration of the wizarding world turned to disgust or pettiness (not a very strong bunch). This is in addition to being a standout; Hagrid for being a half-giant and Harry for being “the boy who lived”.
These are also only a few of the reasons why both end up like lost boys in the wizarding world, whom both turn to Albus Dumbledore as a guide. Hagrid, like Harry, was given a very rough deal early on, but so was Lupin who I also deeply treasure but must point out did not handle it as well as Hagrid. Unlike Harry and Lupin, who both managed to get great friends in their youth, part of what I love and think we can all learn from Hagrid is how he so strongly persevered thru everything. Without all the skulking and pity-parties. At any point in his life he could have run off to be with the other giants, or just hid out by himself with his little bit of magic, but he didn’t, he continued to try, do good and be good. Obviously, he found and had reasons to stay, Hogwarts was his home, but there was an easier way, a path with less rejection and side-glances (just think of him being out in the world will all the different creatures he could be with and care for); regardless of everything Hagrid not only persevered, but he was so, so kind, almost always trusting there to be good in people, giving people the benefit of the doubt and even when he got a bit of temper, he never got mean.
Another thing with Hagrid that was so amazing giving his upbringing was how much he loved and was king, to himself. While he kept it quiet in the beginning, he was never ashamed of being a half-giant, and while he wasn’t happy about getting kicked out of school, he knew he hadn’t done anything wrong and just wished he could learn more magic. When he made mistakes, he owned up to them. Finally, the most endearing thing sounds like all the others but is truly unique: he loved everything. Every creature, he found beauty in it, regardless of everything he saw beauty, believed in love, friendship, the truth and the good. How can anyone not completely admire that, love that
So again, Hagrid is someone to be honoured and admired and to try and live up to, for he never gives up, is incredibly kind, loves himself and loves everything else
