The REAL Reason Hagrid's Wand Was Snapped - DARK Harry Potter Theory

rubius Hagrid's first wand was rather bendy 16 in long and made of oak it has been expressed that those with Oak wands usually have an affinity with the magic of the natural world that a bendy wand signifies a high level of adaptability in personality and that the significant length of his wand is representative of his large stature and enormous personality you can tell a lot about a person from their wand but if you met Hagrid as an adult you just have to guess these things about him because the Hagrid we know walks around with an umbrella of course there's more to Hagrid's umbrella wand than meets the eye but the fact remains that Hagrid does not carry a wand in the traditional sense the main reason being that his wand was snapped while he was still just a boy during his third year at Hogwarts Hagrid was falsely accused by Tom Riddle to have released a monstrous creature on the school that killed a muggleborn witch named Myrtle Warren and as a result of this his W was destroyed by the British Ministry of magic but the actions taken towards Hagrid always seemed extreme and inconsistent because there was insufficient evidence to prosecute Hagrid he avoided aaban at least the first time around but he still somehow landed himself an expulsion from Hogwarts and a snapped wand today we're going to be diving into the real reasons for Hagrid's unfair treatment [Music] hey everyone welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory Hagrid's parentage was a pretty poorly kept secret to most it seemed obvious that he was born from a mixed relationship between a giantess and a wizard still hanry tried to keep the details a secret at times although he never quite fooled anyone his mother was known as Fred walfer a 20ft tall giantess that was truly a force to be reckoned with with a natural resistance to most spells and curses it would have taken over half a dozen Wizards to defeat Hagrid's mother in a fight for that reason the Wizarding World feared giants like Fred walfer most of all which makes her marriage to Hagrid's father Mr Hagrid or the stranger although giantesses and men had been known to wet each other it wasn't a very common practice as you could guess Wizards and witches frowned upon mixed marriages and even the Giants who valued size and power Above All Else looked down on their peers who married married weak human wizards but Fred walfa and Mr Hagrid actually gave their relationship an honest attempt and they were happy for a while that is until December of 1928 when Fred walfer and Mr Hagrid welcomed their son rubius into the world in giant culture they prided themselves on having the largest strongest babies and after a quick glance at the infant rubius Fred wolfer realized that she had failed as a half giant rubius was a fraction of the size of other giant babies and by the time Hagrid was 3 years old it became glaringly apparent that Hagrid would never grow to the same size as other Giants which caused Fred Wolf's loyalty to falter ashamed by her child's small stature Fred wolfa decided to run away and fled back to her giant colony in the years that followed young rubius Hagrid lived a simple life with his father the pair lived in the west country of England near The Forest of Dean which is the cause for Hagrid's distinctive accent although Hagrid and his father had a strong relationship Hagrid's social life suffered outside of the home as a half giant other parents would often warn their children about playing with him it wasn't until HRI received his acceptance letter to Hogwart School of Witchcraft and Wizardry that the young boy thought he could finally find a close-knit group of friends and before embarking on his journey to Hogwarts young Hagrid just like so many other students before him made the track to Dagon alley specifically olivanders where he would receive his first wand it seems strange that for as long as we've known Hagrid he's held an umbrella in place of a wand and while we now know that Hagrid's original one is inside of this umbrella the reality is that it was once a fully functioning magical item in its own right and so in 1940 Hagrid began his first semester at Hogwart School a process that Hagrid found quite Bittersweet while attending Hogwarts would provide the opportunity to meet other magical children and expand his magical Horizons it also meant that he would have to leave behind his beloved father Hagrid also quickly realized that in some aspects Hogwarts wasn't all too different from The Real World at school he continued to suffer as his fellow students ridiculed and bullied him if he were anyone else he'd use his natural Brawn to turn the tide against his bullies but Hagrid's low self-esteem and nonviolent disposition made him a natural Target this caused Hagrid to instead search for companionship through magical beasts and creatures showcasing very early on his affinity for the natural world and the creatures within it however this hobby did land Hagrid in trouble on more than a few occasions as a student Hagrid raised werewolf Cubs under his bed trod off into the Forbidden Forest to wrestled trolls and even acquired an acromantula that would heavily impact his future by his third year at school Hagrid had grown to nearly 11 ft in height but unfortunately he continued to struggle socially to make m worse Hagrid's father Mr Hagrid suddenly passed and this wasn't even close to the end of Hagrid's streak of bad luck eventually Tom Riddle who was only a few years older than Hagrid at the time decided to frame Hagrid for a recent murder at the school riddle was actually the one responsible for the crime having opened the Chamber of Secrets and released the Basilisk within however he was able to convince the ministry of magic that one of Hagrid's dangerous pets an acromantula named aragog was the the culprit in the aftermath Hagrid was expelled from Hogwarts and forbidden by the ministry from using a wand ever again however thanks to Alber Dumbledore's quick intervention Hagrid was saved from going back into the real world as an orphan Dumbledore managed to land Hagrid a role studying how to become a groundskeeper this gesture of kindness might have been enough to keep Hagrid from a life of crime with his father gone the young half giant had nowhere to turn and the fate of giants in The Wizarding World was usually a bloody painful one because Hagrid was expelled in his school boy days he never finished his education this meant that he would forever remain an unqualified Wizard and subsequently bared from performing magic okay so hackd wand was snapped and he was expelled for a crime they couldn't even prove he committed there are a number of issues with this besides the obvious first of all not even prisoners of aaban have their ones snapped when a wichual wizard is found guilty of a crime punishable by imprisonment their material items including their ones are taken from them however these items ones included are not destroyed no one knows for certain where they are kept exactly but what we do know is that they are kept somewhere entirely intact this is proven throughout the series by the fact that multiple witches and wizards who have served time at the Wizarding prison of asaman such as eagle karov and Lucius Malfoy get their ones back when they re-enter magical Society we also know that these individuals continue to practice magic Eagle karov even goes on to become the Headmaster of derring Institute The Wizarding School in Eastern Europe clearly both of these Wizards who were known Death Eaters during Voldemort's first rise to power served their time at aaban and then had their items returned to them either by the Dementors at the prison or the ministry some fans have even speculated that convict's possessions including their ones are released their next of kin so perhaps those leaving asaman retrieved their belongings from family members upon their release even Bellatrix or strange who was sentenced to life imprisonment in aaban for performing the cruciatus curse on Alice and Frank Longbottom managed to get her wand back after she escaped from the prison this means that even if a convict is never meant to be released from asban and is supposed to rot away in prison for the rest of their life their wand is still not destroyed but yet a third-year student had his one snapped in half and his magical future taken away from him for a crime he didn't even commit Hagrid was expelled from Hogwarts at the mere age of 13 his want taken from him and destroyed his future also taken from him and destroyed and told that he could no longer practice magic Hagrid was turned away from the majority of the Wizarding community in disgrace before he even reached the age of 14 I suppose you could make the argument that the severity of Hagrid's expulsion was due to the fact that a young which was killed as a result of the Chamber of Secrets being reopened but that doesn't actually make all that much sense when you consider that not even convicted criminals who actually torture and murder people with their own hands lose their ones when they're sent to asaman the other issue here is that there are no other expulsions on record where the W is snapped and it just so happens that another Major Harry Potter character was accused of very similar crimes but faced a vastly different outcome this character of course was NES commander who faced expulsion at the age of 16 in the case of beasts explore the film lry a fantastic Beast somewhere to find them there is an article directly addressing the details and outcomes of n's crimes notes proposed expulsion from Hogwart School of Witchcraft and Wizardry due to the illegal possession of a magical Beast causing endangerment of human life and violation of Animal Welfare laws magical Beast jarvey level three punishment expulsure from Hogwart School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Dumbledore may have stepped in to defend n and this expulsion may not have been enforced to the same extent but the fact remains that Hagrid faced vastly different consequences for essentially the same crime and why is that unfortunately I think that it's because he's a half Giant and Giants if you didn't know are some of the most hated creatures in the Wizarding World extend them the hand of friendship now before it is too late or Voldemort will persuade them as he did before that he alone among Wizards will give them their rights and their freedom you you cannot be serious if the magical Community got winded that I had approached the Giants people hate them Dumbledore end of my career prejudiced among wizard kind towards Giants and many other non-human species is a well-documented issue in the Wizarding World Giants have often been portrayed as aggressive and dangerous creatures in Wizarding literature and folklore perpetuating stereotypes that have led to fear and discrimination the bias against Giants can be traced back to historical conflicts between Giants and wizards as well as the portrayal of giants as enemies in stories and legends this negative depiction has perpetuated Prejudice and fear of giants among wizard kind therefore when Hagrid was accused of opening the Chamber of Secrets during his time at Hogwarts the bias against Giants likely influenced the severity of the punishment he received despite the lack of concrete evidence against him Hagrid was expelled from Hogwarts and had his one snapped a punishment that was incredibly harsh and disproportionate considering these circumstances this treatment reflects the Dee rooted prejudice and discrimination that exists in The Wizarding World particularly towards magical beings with non-human Heritage adding insult to injury I think that another reason Hagrid was treated so poorly was because the ministry feared him being a giant comes with several physical advantages that make them one of the most powerful creatures Crees in The Wizarding World firstly Giants are incredibly large and physically imposing with immense Ro strength that is proportionate to their size their size gives them natural physical advantages over small creatures allowing them to overpower them with ease this raw power can make them difficult to detain or control even for multiple Wizards working together secondly Giants are highly durable and resistant to damage their large size and tough skin make them much harder to injure than other creatur creatures the spells that would incapacitate or harm normal creatures may have limited effects on Giants making them formidable opponents in battle or other confrontations finally Giants have heightened senses their hearing and sense of smell are stronger than that of normal humans making them more aware of their surroundings and better able to detect danger or prey and if you add those obvious physical advantages with the ability to cast spells well then you've got yourself a pretty powerful individual this was of course the case with Hagrid we see this in the books when Hagrid takes on a group of trained auras without a wand and wins Hagrid took two massive swipes at his closest attackers judging by their immediate collaps they had been knocked cold Harry saw him double over and thought for a moment that he had finally been overcome by a spell but on the contrary next moment Hagrid was standing again with what appeared to be a sack on his back then Harry realized that Fang's limp body was draped around his shoulders get him get him screamed Umbridge but her remaining helper seemed highly reluctant to go Within Reach of Hagrid's fists indeed he was backing away so fast he tripped over one of his unconscious colleagues and fell over Hagrid had turned and begun to run with Fang still hung around his neck Umbridge sent one last stunning spell after him but it missed and Hagrid running full Pelt toward the distant Gates disappeared into the darkness can you imagine if Hagrid had been wielding a wand and was backed by a fully fledged magical education in short Hagrid's wand was snapped not because he was being legitimately punished for crimes that he had likely committed but instead due to inherent Prejudice towards Giants and fear of how powerful Hagrid could become with a magical education but now you might be wondering did Hagrid ever finish his magical education in the Chamber of Secrets Hagrid is finally exonerated for his alleged involvement in the opening of the chamber his name is cleared when it is revealed the true culprit behind the attacks and the opening of the chamber was Tom Riddle with the help of Harry Potter and his friends the truth about Hagrid's innocence comes to light and he's Vindicated because Hagrid was expelled in his school boy days he never finished his education this meant that he was an unqualified Wizard and subsequently wasn't allowed to perform magic however given that his name was eventually cleared it should make sense that his ability to perform magic would be reinstated JK rling was was actually asked this exact question in an interview since Hagrid's name was cleared in book two will he ever be allowed to do magic openly again he's allowed he's been allowed to do magic openly ever since he became a teacher but because he was never fully trained his magic is never going to be what it should be he is always going to be a bit inmt and so hrid after waiting a whopping 50 years finally got to perform magic openly again but I think it's safe to say that as far as the series is concerned and the actions of the ministry of magic Hagrid got it worse than pretty much anyone all because the Wizarding World is so damn intolerant and that's
