1.) Fluffy was just a guard for the Stone, that was a necessity.
3.) Buckbeak helped Sirius escape.
5.) Grawp was a huge help, both as a diversion for Umbridge and during the final battle.

Jesus, Hagrid didn't put them in any more danger than Dumbledore did! "Go back in time and fix everything!" "Come with me to get the locket!" "Go find all the horcruxes!"

I don't begrudge Dumbledore endangering them - so I certainly don't begrudge Hagrid for his pension for dangerous animals.

1) They wouldn't have had to go down there if Hagrid hadn't told Quirrel about Fluffy
2) While that's fair, I meant more that Buckbeak savaged a 13 year old and Hagrid shouldn't be showing 13 year olds things he can't control that will hurt them.
5) And they could have found another distraction that wasn't going to try to kill them. Then again I think the giant subplot in general is useless as you barely see them in the final battle.

Also Dumbledore put them in danger but he himself admits that he did the wrong thing all the time which is why I'm more okay with it. No one's ever allowed to tell Hagrid he did the wrong thing or put them in danger without being yelled at by Harry.

And there's a difference between liking dangerous animals and putting the children you're charged with taking care of (in loco parentis) in danger because of it. Aka: fluffy, norbert, aragog... There's also a difference between liking dangerous creatures and putting students in danger because of dangerous creatures you can't control, aka: skrewts, hippogryffs etc.

In addition, if you are going to show them dangerous creatures, you take the proper precautions. Like Charlie and the dragon handlers in book 4.

But I digress.

Okay I understand what you're saying but...

DUDE the books would have been soo boring without all of that stuff! I see it as a fantasy/adventure series - it needs adventure, it needs danger! And if danger only ever comes from the bad guys creeping in the shadows, then it gets boring. I think it's much more clever to have a sympathetic character with flaws inadvertently mixing things up a bit.

I respect your opinion if you don't like Hagrid, but we should be fair to the series as a whole, and recognize important plot points/fun action scenes without just thinking Hagrid is an inconsiderate douche. Because that's not really fair.

HOWEVER Harry was a total douche for sticking up for him all the time. I don't begrudge Hagrid of his flaws but Harry should have (or let someone else) said OI THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

I'd actually have MUCH less of a problem with Hagrid if Harry and the rest of the cast would admit he's done stuff wrong and stop protecting him from all bad opinions and saying everyone who doesn't think everything he did was great including put them in danger was a terrible person.

So maybe my anger at hagrid is misplaced a bit but he also never takes responsibility for his actions, so there's that.

This. It really irritated me that he got away with all that crap without so much as a stern talking-to, much less a smackdown. It just seems he got away with stuff anyone else would have been read the riot act for. Of course, so did the trio, so maybe part of my dislike comes from the 'gryffindors are awesome and can do no wrong' meme.

Ugh that annoys me so much sometimes. Like don't get me wrong, some of my favorite characters are mad guilty of this (Ginny, Ron, the twins) but the gryffindors can bully just as badly as the slytherins. Not only that but they got really mad at the ravenclaws and hufflepuffs for rooting for Cedric instead of Harry which is just ridiculous. Cedric was a huffelpuff, of course they're going to root for him!

Draco shouldn't have been such a disobedient twit. And he grossly exaggerated what happened to him.
