Oh yeah I forgot about that! He pretty much made Harry prejudiced against every house when he first met him. Also he tortured poor Dudley. Dudley's not the nicest kid, but that's mostly not his fault and he DEFINITELY did not deserve that pig's tail.

Oh! And he also almost killed Harry on the motorbike in book 7! I forgot about that near death experience. Honestly WHY they'd entrust his safety with HAGRID of all people.

I think I'd be able to stand hagrid a bit better if anyone was allowed to criticize him but noooooooooo everything he does is perfect!

Honestly if my son got savaged on his first day of care of magical creatures, EVEN if he provoked the creature, I would sue. I mean sure the malfoys are assholes, but like honestly, any good parent would sue the teacher in that situation.

I think I'd be able to stand hagrid a bit better if anyone was allowed to criticize him but noooooooooo everything he does is perfect!

Yeah, he is a very believable type of character--just one I can't stand. I'm still floored how in the very first book he does something stupid for selfish reasons (that he's forgiven for because it's cute he can't control his selfish impulses), the kids cover his ass (Ron getting hurt in the process with no sympathy from Hagrid) and then Hagrid presides over their detention. And none of them (not Hagrid or the kids) seem to remember that they're serving detention for his behavior.

One reason I always liked Ron. He had the least patience with him.

It's true. Hermione doesn't have much patience for him in the fourth book, either and I like that. I mean Harry's an idealist, but there's only so many times the "He has good intentions!" line works. Three times in the first 200 page book he gets Harry into imminent danger! It's ridiculous.

I hadn't even considered the motorbike or the incident with Draco, but you're right - as a parent, I'd have been pissed too. The kids were thirteen, and sure, the wizarding world seems to have a different definition of what's appropriate in raising children (Neville's uncle holding him upside down out a window to "spark" his magic, anyone?), but the hesitation on the kids' part in that scene made me think it was inappropriate even for them.

Where Lucius Malfoy and I differ is that I'd have gone after the school district, not the animal in question. The school district made the choice to allow an untrained teacher to be unsupervised and endanger children as a result, after all. The animal? Well, it's an animal. It's not its fault. Killing it would have solved nothing, especially since there apparently was no disciplinary action taken against Hagrid.

The lack of criticism was what really drove me over the edge, but I'm like that with pretty much all characters. If they don't have to face consequences of some sort, I've very little interest in them.

Well Lucius is an ass and he wanted to hit Hagrid where it hurt, he has enough money otherwise. He should have sued the school. And honestly Hagrid SHOULD have been fired over that! And then to "make up for it" he makes the kids feed flobberworms all year. So they learn nothing. Then fourth year they also learn nothing while Hagrid conducts ILLEGAL ACTIVITY and breeds incredibly dangerous creatures for no reason whatsoever. It's a miracle they passed their care of magical creatures exams at all.

I swear I wouldn't mind Hagrid if people who called him out on his bullshit weren't immediately written off as terrible people. It reminds me of this episode of 30 Rock where Liz tries to dump a guy for being boring but every time she tries he says YOU'RE DOING THIS BECAUSE YOU HATE BLACK PEOPLE and she has to keep dating him. Anyone who dislikes Hagrid is written off as a bigot despite the perfectly legitimate reasons for disliking him.
