Hagrid enters the story almost immediately as a mentor-figure to Harry and his friends. In the first book, Rubeus Hagrid is the one who retrieves Harry from his Aunt and Uncle, informs Harry that he is a wizard, gifts Harry with the boy's beloved snowy owl, Hedwig. Hagrid is Half-Giant and gentle as a lamb, unless you insult headmaster Dumbledore in front of him. He always had a love for and a gift for caring for magical creatures, becoming a teacher of the subject in the third book (POA). This love extended to a giant spider (acromantula) named Aragog. During Hagrid's school days in Hogwarts, Aragog was accused of opening the Chamber of Secrets, resulting in Hagrid's expulsion from the school and his wand being broken. The two halves of his wand are now in a pink umbrella which we saw light a fire in 2001's "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's (Philosopher's) Stone."
