I just remembered something. Isn't Hagrid resistant to certain spells because he is half-giant? Maybe that's something Hagrid used to his advantage to help Dumbledore, but perhaps Hagrid almost died in the process, showing unwavering faith and loyalty to Dumbledore and bravery even against the most powerful dark wizard of the generation, despite his dark childhood. Honestly, now that I think about it, if Dumbledore saw this happening in front of him FIRST HAND, I would totally understand why he has absolute faith in Hagrid and why he'd "trust Hagrid with [his] own life."

[@thedragonwarrior5861]

I wouldn't be surprised if that turns out to be true

[@JuanMataCFC]

it's possible that Hagrid is asked to "stand aside" by Grindelwald, but he refuses to do so (just like how Lily refused to stand aside from Harry for Voldemort), thereby casting some sort of love protection on him. admittedly it won't be as powerful as a mother's love for her son, but it might be one of the reasons Dumbledore is able to eventually beat Grindelwald.

[@insertclevernamehere1186]

@@JuanMataCFC 1. Why would Grindelwald care about Hagrid, let alone give him the option to stand aside? The guy kills babies, for crying out loud! 2. The protection is applied when to protector dies, both with Lily for Harry and Harry for Hogwarts (although he walked it off). Hagrid ain't dead.

[@rebeccaq7291]

I was trying to think why Hagrid needed to be the one to bring in the Christmas trees and I think I got it. He has to get the trees from the Forbidden Forrest and he’s the only one with the relationship he has with it’s residents. I’m sure like the centaurs many magical creatures don’t like wizards or humans for that matter. Hagrid probably goes in and asks which trees he can take.

[@thedragonwarrior5861]

Makes sense. Plus, even if he weren't allowed to take any, his giant side would protect him, and he goes where no one else dares in the forest

[@dnicej1293]

I like this theory! I like to add that he is probably only allowed to take 1 but then the other teachers use the gemino charm to multiply it

[@bhavyajain3]

But can't the teachers just magically create those trees instead of bringing them from the forest?

[@yogtheterrible]

That's more speculative but we already know the reason Dumbledore trusts. Dumbledore trusts people who have proven the ability to love unconditionally. Snape loves Lily so much that even after her death he pledged himself in defending her son whom he hated. Harry was willing to die from the age of 11 to protect those he loves and showed the same capacity each subsequent year. Hagrid loves even the most monstrous creatures despite how dangerous they are, indeed I'd argue that every friendship Hagrid makes he offers the same unconditional love. These are three people who have every reason to abandon love given their situations, but they chose not to even though doing so could kill them.

[@RavingRodent]

As I have theorised, but not been vocal about this: Dumbledore was transfiguration teacher before he was headmaster so it is entirely possible that with the Elder Wand he repairs Hagrids wand and transforms it into the umbrella

2:19 i think its cuz hagrid enjoys it and they let him do it so he feels useful and doesnt feel like a burden plus it keeps him busy and distracted from telling the students about things he shouldnt say like about the philosophers stone for example

[@msk-qp6fn]

If I look at it positively, it's because Hagrid is a genuinely good person even if he is not the brightest person around. If I look at it cynically, it's because Dumbledore strategically knows that Hagrid, who has always faced prejudice and discrimination due to his heritage and love for scary creatures, is eager to please Dumbledore because he took Hagrid in when he was expelled/his father passed away. Furthermore, knowing how Dumbledore is always several steps ahead of everyone, I would assume Dumbledore always takes Hagrid's carelessness into account and assigns specific jobs that is pushed into action by Hagrid's carelessness.

[@veronikaczr1105]

I think the cynical way of thinking is the right one here. It's similar to how he used Harry and to some extent Snape

[@haldalas]

Hey, why not both? He can trust that his heart is in the right place but still be aware of his limitations.

[@randoml97]

[@sonnyfox8407]

Seamus Gorman, is that you?

[@dragoncub1988]

My sister and I are believers of that same theory

[@vincentmarcellino7183]

Because Dumbledore put his neck out for Hagrid when Myrtle was killed. He knew Hagrid was innocent. Dumbledore went up to bat for him in a way nobody else would at that time. This earned Hagrid's unwavering loyalty. That loyalty is what Dumbledore trusts

[@lexington.]

Just want to add two things. 1. Items can be taken out of Hagrid's coat by people other than him as Harry does exactly that in chapter 5 of the first book. 2. Hagrid can also cast spells silently (I don't recall any instances where he recites an incantation) which makes him a supremely good wizard.

[@abc4828]

I think he uses aguamenti in HBP to extinguish the fire in his hut. But iirc Harry tells him the spell...

[@abc4828]

Hagrid tells Harry to look in his coat to pay the owl for the prophet. Its not like Harry tried to pickpocket Hagrid

[@annetta2608]

I agree that Dumbledore probably repaired Hagrid's wand, but why does everyone assume Hagrid does not know much magic? His formal education may have ended early, but he lived at the magic school for half a century and earned the trust and friendship of the greatest wizard of the age (and headmaster of the school he was living at). He probably learned more than most, but focused more on the subjects he was interested in.

[@arieldahl]

Additional information that should be mentioned is that Hagrid’s wand is very long (almost like it’s the same length as the umbrella), and that Dumbledore is *very good* at transfiguration- so the umbrella isn’t that far of a stretch

[@TheDeluxe74]

His wand was 16 inches and the umbrella is roughly 24, I think you might be on to something there

[@jessw4350]

Oooh yes! Cuz I always thought there was just pieces of the wand in the umbrella but then I remembered the potter more post that says long wands favor those that are really tall or short! So it totally makes sense that the entire umbrella is the wand! Maybe the extra length is the handle!

[@akitaho1]

Trusting always comes with knowing the limitations of a person, for example I will trust my best friend, but I still know she will be late the next time we meet 😂 or my dog, but it will still eat any food I drop on the floor 🤣 Dumbledore definitely trusts Hagrid with his and others lifes, but still expects him to leak information to Harry

[@tektrixter]

I think Hagrid was trusted *to* leak the information to Harry.

[@baertheblader9402]

I agree. He trusts that Hagrid will put his life on the line to protect anything he was tasked with protecting. Dumbledore can’t truly be trusting Hagrid to keep a secret, though. He is too wise for that. Dumbledore May tell Hagrid that something is a secret, but surely he has every expectation that anything Hagrid knows has a good chance of leaking to Harry and friends. Either Dumbledore secretly wants this to happen, or is at least strategically preparing for that possibility. Nobody can be fully and unconditionally trusted. Only trusted in certain areas where they are the most predictable.

[@adamrobinson6951]

To invert this, I could trust an 85 year old man in that I'd talk to him about anything and value his advice. At the same time, I would not trust that man to pull me up from a ledge. Trust is based on intention, rather than capability, and Hagrid is not mentally capable of keeping complex secrets (as proven in childhood by Tom knowing he had an acromantula).

Took care of Fawkes or found Fawkes maybe? 🤔 who knows? but I love this theory, it'd be so awesome to see even Newt and Hagrid interact. Which, side note, there is a theory that Newt gave Aragog to Hagrid. As Aragog explains how he came to be with Hagrid in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: "I came to Hagrid from a distant land, in the pockets of a traveller." 👀

[@jawstrock2215]

Unlikely Fawkes, seeing as it already gave the feathers for Tom Riddle's wand(and I guess Harry's, although I don't think it's mentioned when Olivender made that one). Unless, the Phoenix in Secret of Dumbledore is Fawkes, who just tied itself to Dumbledore after the battle 🤔 Guess it could explain the "evil" and "good" feather for the wands then.. hmmm

The timing of his years at Hogwarts, the story of how he got Aragog, and Dumbledore's trust seem to indicate Hagrid MUST appear at some point. I think many of us assume Newt's the guy with the spider in his pocket. It's likely he's a hero, of sorts to young Hagrid and when he saw his interest in magical creatures, Dumbledore introduced him to Newt.

Just imagine... You are a thirteen year old multi species minority that looks vastly different than all of your peers. You know that everyone around you has a prejudice towards your mother and all her kind. You are not the smartest or most talented. Your closest friend is a deadly monster that you must keep in a trunk. You are then framed for a murder you did not commit. You have no chance of defense simply because of your DNA. You are expelled from your only home because at this point you are a basically and orphan. Your only saving grace is that, as a child, you've been allowed to work full time for the same school that broke your wand. You work hard, day in and day out for years and years. Still, everyone looks down on you. To most of the Wizarding World you are a joke... an incompetent servant... your only friends are magical beasts and 3 eleven year olds... Not to mention that his half giant body probably has a powerful innate tolerance to alchohol... Can you blame the guy?

[@maxwell9211]

One thing that I didn't realise until this video, for someone who only made it halfway through third year, Hagrid is really talented at transfiguration. Like, to be able to give pig features, given that he was already so close to a pig, is some serious aptitude. We're told in OOtP than the more "sentient" the creature, the more difficult the transfiguration is. The only explanation is that Dumbledore was giving Hagrid Transfiguration lessons on the side post-expulsion.

I think the reason Snape didn't want anyone to know about his motives is simply because he was a double agent and felt like he couldn't fully trust anyone but Dumbledore. He had to make people on both side question his loyalty and reasons so they would believe he was in their side. Plus people generally believe others will behave as they would, such as a liar thinks everyone is always lying, and so Snape could imagine what others would do with that info would be the exact things he would do

Conspiracy theory: Hagrid’s wand was split into multiple pieces before he brought the pieces to Dumbledore, who used the Elder wand to repair them and hide them in his own umbrella. This also could have been the case due to Hagrid helping him, and Dumbledore merely trying to return the favor. So basically, what SCB theorizes.

Your theory about Hagrid's wand makes perfect sense.
