Rubeus Hagrid can be described as the gentle half-giant. Hagrid's mother was the giantess Fridwulfa who abandoned him and his father when Hagrid was a baby (Giantesses are not known for their gentle and motherly behaviour). He was brought up by his father, who took great pride in his son. But he passed away during Hagrid’s second year at Hogwarts, where Albus Dumbledore took him under his wing – so to speak.
Like other giants, Hagrid looks fearsome, a hairy head and beard covers most of his face, his large size is intimidating; but Hagrid is opposite to what he looks like, gentle, caring, loving and a bit whimsical.
His name, Rubeus, has two meanings in Latin, one meaning "red" or "reddish" and the other meaning "of the bramble", both accurate descriptions of his appearance. "Hagrid" comes from an old English word "hagridden", meaning to have a nightmarish night, particularly when hung over; Hagrid is known to be a heavy drinker.
HAGRID’S POCKETS: Hagrid commonly wears a huge moleskin overcoat with many pockets. In these pockets one finds an amazing assortment of odds and ends:
· birthday cake
· coins
· dog biscuits (moldy)
· dormice
· kettle, copper
· keys, bunches of
· key to Harry's vault
· letter to Gringotts from Dumbledore re: vault 713
· letter to Harry from Hogwarts
· mugs, several chipped
· owl
· poker
· quill and parchment
· sausages, squashy package of
· string, balls of
· bottle of amber liquid
· peppermint humbugs
· slug pellets
· tea bags
· teapot
· umbrella, pink
