Rubeus Hagrid, a half-giant character from the Harry Potter series, was born in 1928 to a wizard father and a giantess mother. He grew up in England and acquired a unique accent. Hagrid's mother left when he was around three years old, and his father was heartbroken. Despite this, Hagrid's fascination with magical creatures remained.
Hagrid was expelled from Hogwarts after his third year, accused of opening the Chamber of Secrets and releasing a monster that killed a student. He was forbidden to use magic and his wand was snapped. However, he was able to stay at Hogwarts as a gamekeeper due to the intervention of Dumbledore, who saw Hagrid as innocent.
Hagrid continued to work at Hogwarts and occasionally performed magic using his pink umbrella. He was loyal to Dumbledore and joined the Order of the Phoenix during the first wizarding war. When the first wizarding war ended, Hagrid was sent by Dumbledore to rescue Harry from his home and bring him to his aunt and uncle's house.
Hagrid was again sent by Dumbledore ten years later to give Harry his Hogwarts letter and help him prepare for school. Hagrid was shocked to find out that Harry knew nothing about being a wizard. Hagrid revealed the truth about Harry's wizarding heritage to him.
Throughout the series, Hagrid faced many challenges. He was accused of putting nifflas in Umbridge's office and was put on probation. He was also accused of starting a fire at his hut, but he was able to put it out with Harry's help.
In the final book, Hagrid was captured by Death Eaters while trying to protect Aragog's remaining children. He was brought into the Forbidden Forest and watched as Harry met Voldemort. Hagrid was ordered to carry Harry's supposed dead body back to the castle, but he was eventually freed and continued to work at Hogwarts as a gamekeeper and care of magical creatures professor.
