Rubeus Hagrid

Rubeus Hagrid is a half giant with a rough appearance and a kind heart. He has a long, shaggy mane of dark brown hair and a wild, tangled beard. His eyes are black and small, almost like beetles. Hagrid is the Gamekeeper at Hogwarts, as well as the Care of Magical Creatures teacher. He is known for his love of dangerous (and usually very ugly and badtempered) creatures, from the baby Norwegian Ridgeback dragon Norbert to the massive, hairy spider Aragog to the giant, three-headed dog named Fluffy. He was expelled from Hogwarts in his third year for raising Aragog in the school before he allegedly killed a girl there, even though Harry, Ron and Hermione later (50 years later, to be exact) proved that Aragog (and Hagrid) were innocent. His mother was a giant, his father a muggle. Hagrid also has a half-brother (on his mother's side) named Grawp.
