Keeper of the Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts. Was made Care of Magical Creatures teacher right before Harry's third year.

Hagrid was a student at Hogwarts and was expelled during his third year for supposedly opening the Chamber of Secrets. His Wand was snapped but he now has the pieces in his pink umbrella.

Hagrid was arrested and sent to Azkaban during Harry's second year when the Chamber of Secrets was opened again, but was released when he was finally found innocent.

Hagrid has a dog named Fang and has a love for dangerous creatures. He owned Fluffy, the three-headed dog who guarded the trap door to the Sorcerer's stone. He also owned a Dragon egg that hatched to a Norwegian Ridgeback by the name of Norbert.

School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The best school of its kind in the world. The greatest witches and wizards of the age founded Hogwarts more than a thousand years ago: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin. They built a remote castle, far away so that witches and wizards could train in safety. Pupils attend from age eleven for seven years of rigorous training in the art of witchcraft and wizardry. There are a hundred and forty-two staircases at Hogwarts and everything keeps moving around, so things are not always in the same place. Hogwarts is in a secret location somewhere in the North.

"Everybody pick their favorite tune.... And off we go!"

Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,
Teach us something please,
Whether we be old and bald
Or young with scabby knees,
Our heads could do with filling
With some interesting stuff,
For now they're bare and full of air,
Dead flies and bits of fluff,
So teach us things worth knowing,
Bring back what we've forgot,
Just do your best, we'll do the rest,
And learn until our brains all rot.
