I guess I feel sorry for him, more than anything. Buckbeak feels different since he really wasn’t that dangerous, Lucius Malfoy is a monster, and the trio chose to help in a safe manner on their own terms. Shhh hissed Professor McGonagall, You’ll wake the Muggles S-s-sorry, sobbed Hagrid, taking out a large, spotted handkerchief and burying his face in it. That's at least our assumption as to why PS1 Hargrid has returned to the fray in 2020.

Trapped in a world in which we have little use and cannot escape. 2020 has been a pretty dreary year thus far, and many of us living in it might feel a little like PS1 Hagrid right about now. Then, suddenly, Hagrid let out a howl like a wounded dog. They are both made up of roughly the same number of polygons, we guess. And then repeat with the Skrewts, Grawp, etc. He bent his great, shaggy head over Harry and gave him what must have been a very scratchy, whiskery kiss. They have to make arrangements themselves, risk their lives and their standing in school to get rid of the dragon safely….and then THEY are in trouble, and Hagrid does NOT come clean? It’s mind-blowing, and frankly, he’s being a shit “friend” to the trio in that moment. In the first book he brings home an illegal dragon egg to his tiny wooden hut and tries to take care of the thing, risking his job, his home, his life, and the lives of whichever poor students happen to get in the path of the dragon he plans to raise on the grounds of a school? So the trio have to plead with him to let the dragon go, like a 6-year-old who captures a squirrel in the park and brings it home to their parents. I always viewed him as a “lovable oaf” when I was a kid, and I do think Harry’s affection for him makes all the sense in the world-he was the first adult to show Harry kindness and love, after all.īut lately I am just plain alarmed at the degree to which he is willing to rely emotionally on the trio, and allow them to take the fall for his actions. But lately it's not hurting like it did before.
