Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

by

J. K. Rowling

The Hogwarts gamekeeper as well as Harry's friend and confidante. Hagrid is gone for the first few months of the school year and nobody knows where he is. When he returns, bruised, bleeding, and missing teeth, he explains that he and Madame Maxime went to the giants on Dumbledore's orders and attempted to invite them to join Dumbledore in fighting Voldemort. Because Hagrid is half-giant, Umbridge dislikes him immediately. Though Hagrid's questionable teaching methods and his adoration of dangerous creatures make for more than enough fodder for Umbridge to fire him as the Care of Magical Creatures professor, they also get off on the wrong foot because of Umbridge’s obvious racism, as she speaks to Hagrid as though he barely speaks English. Throughout the school year, Hagrid continues to acquire injuries and refuses to tell Harry, Ron, and Hermione where he's getting them, only cryptically talking about the importance of family. During the final Quidditch match, he explains what's going on to Harry and Hermione: he brought back his giant half-brother, Grawp, and has been trying to teach the violent young giant English with little success. Hagrid asks the trio to look after Grawp when Umbridge inevitably fires him. Umbridge's attempt to fire Hagrid is horrific, as she goes to his hut at night with Aurors and starts a fight with Hagrid. Hagrid escapes with Fang and doesn't return.

Chapter Twenty-One Quotes

A great wave of relief broke over Harry. Here at last was proof that he had not imagined these creatures, that they were real: Hagrid knew about them too. He looked eagerly at Ron, but Ron was still staring around into the trees and after a few seconds he whispered, "Why doesn't Hagrid call again?"

"Herd?" said Lavender in a confused voice, and Harry knew she was thinking of cows. "What—oh!" Comprehension dawned on her face. "There are more of you?" she said, stunned.

"Did Hagrid breed you, like the thestrals?" asked Dean eagerly.

Firenze turned his head very slowly to face Dean, who seemed to realize at once that he had said something very offensive.

"I didn't—I meant—sorry," he finished in a hushed voice.

"Centaurs are not the servants or playthings of humans," said Firenze quietly.
