Rubeus Hagrid

Name: Rubeus Hagrid Age: 40-50 Height: 11'6 Gender: Male Species: half human/ half giant

APPEARANCE: As a half-giant, Hagrid possesses great physical strength and endurance, including a resilience against some spells, though his ability to withstand spells was not as great as that of full giants. He is about twice as tall as an average man, standing at eleven feet, six inches tall (too big for an ordinary-sized broomstick) and three times as wide, with a long mane of shaggy black hair and a beard that covered most of his face. His eyes are a very dark brown.

Hagrid's hands are very large, as welll as his feet. Hagrid's size often makes it difficult for him to enter rooms or buildings that are designed for ordinary sized people or not built with airy or grand designs, such as him not being able to fit easily into the Hospital Wing or the Burrow yet having no trouble moving in the Great Hall.

He often wore an exceptionally large moleskin overcoat with several pockets that held many things, though that sometimes caused him to spend a lot of time searching for what he wanted to find. Objects within the pockets have included a number of items. Hagrid's clothing is largely hand-made due to the descriptions of his clothing as being crafted of animal skin and far too large for a full-blooded or non-hybridised human being.

Despite his love for beasts, Hagrid is allergic to cats.

PERSONALITY:

Hagrid is an incredibly warm, kind-hearted, intelligent, perceptive man, and would often forget his exceptional size and strength when patting people on the back. Another of Hagrid's greatest traits is his courage. He is also very loyal to his friends and is ready to defend them or fight for them if necessary. He is particularly loyal to Albus Dumbledore, describing him as a "great man". He would react with fury if anyone dared insult the headmaster and wouldn't hesitate to magically assault or rough up the offender. However, despite his loyalty, Hagrid was not good at keeping secrets. This was again shown when he revealed his half-giant status to Olympe Maxime.

Hagrid has a great love of magical creatures, including cross-breeds such as the Blast-Ended Skrewt, and had a better relationship with most of the inhabitants of the Forbidden Forest than most people, including the centaurs, though he had little interest in tame magical creatures due to the lack of a challenge they offered. Despite this, he shows a good understanding of such creatures when he returned to his post as Care of Magical Creatures teacher. Unfortunately, he tends to overlook the dangers behind certain magical creatures. Hagrid is fond of creatures in general and seemed to want to own any creature was even slightly fierce — his desires included a warthog and any dragon that he could get his hands on. He tended to give his pets ironic names.

Hagrid has a fondness for drinks and was sometimes known to be aggressive, especially when people insulted or dishonourably attacked those he cared about. EX: When Igor Karkaroff accused Dumbledore of treachery and spat at his feet, Hagrid lifted Karkaroff off the ground and slammed him against a tree, roaring at him to apologise to Dumbledore.

Despite this, Hagrid is a very sensitive person and is known to burst into tears when someone close to him was harmed or killed, or when he felt responsible for something that put his friends in peril.] His courage also concealed a deep fear of rejection and insecurity which was notably shown when he isolated himself after he was revealed as a half-giant and he attempted to resign from his position as the Care of Magical Creatures teacher until he was convinced otherwise by Dumbledore. When he was teaching, he also had a tendency to lose his self-confidence if his classes were disrupted, or if he believed people disliked his classes, which he mistook for people disliking him.
