The video discusses the character of Hagrid from J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. Hagrid, born in 1928 to Mr. Hagrid, a wizard, and a giant, is a half-giant who grows up in England near the Forest of Dean. He acquires a unique accent and a fascination with magical creatures. Hagrid's father is heartbroken when Hagrid's mother leaves him when he's around three years old. Hagrid's mother was one of the last giants in Britain.
Hagrid gets his letter from Hogwarts and is sorted into Gryffindor House. He enjoys his first year at Hogwarts but is expelled during his third year when he's accused of opening the Chamber of Secrets. Hagrid is forbidden to use magic by the Ministry and his wand is snapped. Dumbledore, the headmaster at the time, allows Hagrid to stay at the castle as a gamekeeper.
Hagrid continues to work as a gamekeeper for many years and lives in a small hut on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. He is loyal to Dumbledore and joins the Order of the Phoenix when the first wizarding war starts. Hagrid is the one who rescues Harry from his home after his parents are killed.
Hagrid is given the responsibility of taking the first years across the Black Lake to Hogwarts. He becomes close with Harry and his friends Ron and Hermione. Hagrid is falsely accused of putting Nifflers in Umbridge's office, and she tries to forcibly remove him from Hogwarts. Hagrid refuses and is hit by four stunning spells, once badly injuring Professor McGonagall. Hagrid runs away from the grounds, holding his stun dog in his arms.
Hagrid is welcomed back as the gamekeeper and the professor of Care of Magical Creatures when Dumbledore returns as headmaster. Hagrid is hurt when he finds out that Harry wants Hermione, but he eventually forgives them. Hagrid's Acromantula, Aragog, falls ill and dies, deeply upsetting Hagrid. Hagrid's hut is caught on fire in the chaos of the Death Eaters escaping, and he runs in to save Fang. He and Harry work together to put the fire out before it burns the hut down completely. Hagrid is heartbroken about Dumbledore's death as he had been a father figure to him.
