Gamekeeper, Keeper of the Keys and Care of Magical Creatures teacher at Hogwarts. Rubeus Hagrid may have been intimidating physically - he was of course, half-man, half-giant - but he was also soft-hearted, especially when it came to looking after the beasts of Hogwarts. From monstrous spiders to feathered Hippogriffs, majestic unicorns and Blast-Ended-Skrewts, there was nothing too creepy or crawly that didn't have a place in Hagrid’s heart. Hagrid was the one to deliver the news to Harry that he had a place at Hogwarts with the immortal line, ‘Harry - yer a wizard’, and became something of a father figure to him ever since.
