Hogwarts' hunting grounds guard and keykeeper Rubeus Hagrid is one of the most important characters in the Harry Potter series, and his tall and mighty appearance and simple kindness, and righteous personality have also gathered a lot of popularity for him. However, although Hagrid is a character in the righteous camp, due to his rough personality and fanatical obsession with various dangerous magical creatures, many times he is also very unreliable, and it is this unreliable that Hagrid is destructive.

Hagrid is a standard rugged personality and is naturally sloppy. Upon learning that Dumbledore had sent Hagrid to pick up young Harry, Professor McGonagall's first reaction was ," are you teasing me?" It can be seen that even in the eyes of his own people, Hagrid is very unreliable. Although Dumbledore repeatedly stressed that he could entrust his life to Hagrid, Professor McGonagall was still worried and did not let go.
Professor McGonagall's concerns proved justified. Although Hagrid's loyalty was among Dumbledore's closest associates, his grinning personality was often negligent in doing bad things. Harry, Ron, and Hermione, and other first-graders were able to get words out of his mouth, which showed how careless he was. In the Philosopher's Stone chapter, among the many levels that guard the Philosopher's Stone, in addition to Professor Quirrell's troll who guards himself, only Hagrid was tricked out of the clearance cheats (or twice) beforehand, the problem is that he is still complacent and does not realize that he is being tricked.
Harry and the others spoke from Hagrid's mouth
Fortunately, Hagrid's dubbing now seems to be a deliberate innings by Dumbledore, only to lure the snake out of the hole to deal with Voldemort and exercise the abilities of Harry and others to participate in it. If Old Deng had told Hagrid the secret of the Horcrux, perhaps Voldemort would have lived longer than Nicol Mehle (the big man who had lived for more than six hundred years), and it is unknown.
Hagrid is a half-blood giant, so he naturally likes all kinds of fierce and dangerous magical creatures, and often raises many dangerous magical creatures regardless of the weight, which also causes very serious consequences. Hagrid has kept many dangerous creatures in defiance of the law — the eight-eyed giant spider from Asia and Africa, the three-headed dog from Greece, and the Norwegian Ridgeback Dragon.
Among them, the eight-eyed giant spider Aragok is a dangerous creature that Hagrid kept in his dormitory when he was in school. It was also because of this dangerous forbidden creature that Hagrid was married by Voldemort as a student, causing him to carry the pot that killed the weeping Myrtle, and as a result Hagrid was expelled from school, and if it were not for Dumbledore's strong support for leaving him behind, the homeless Hagrid would have ended up in a very pitiful situation. In fact, leaving aside Voldemort's misfortune, hagrid raised the eight-eyed giant spider that was explicitly forbidden by the magical world in the dormitory, and the school directly expelled him! (I don't know if you remember, but in reality there was a cattle man who was criticized by the school for keeping crocodiles in the dormitory.)
Harry and Ron encounter the Eight-Eyed Spider
Dumbledore fought hard, and hagrid, who had been expelled, was appointed as the hunting ground keeper of the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts. But from the perspective of job responsibilities, to be honest, Hagrid has failed to live up to old Deng's painstaking heart. The first thing he did after taking office was to place his eight-eyed giant spider Aragok in the Forbidden Forest, and he was afraid that it would be lonely, and secretly found a daughter-in-law for it, resulting in a magical version of the biological invasion staged in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts. The fertility of spiders is extremely strong, the eight-eyed giant spider is fierce and cruel by nature, and the size is huge, so how much damage will such a large number of spiders cause to the native species when they breed in Britain, where there are no natural enemies? And how much of a safety hazard will it pose to the Hogwarts campus outside the woods? Except for Hai, this group of eight-eyed giant spiders did not recognize them, and even Harry and Ron, who were Hagrid's friends, were almost eaten alive by this group of spiders, and you can imagine how dangerous they really are.
And that's exactly what happened: When Voldemort attacked Hogwarts, the Death Eaters drove the Eight-Eyed Spiders to attack Hogwarts, inflicting heavy casualties on the Guardians. Ironically, Hagrid himself was unable to restrain the spiders, because the Aragok he had raised before was dead, and without the chieftain's restraint, these spiders would not have been Hagrid.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: Newt and Thunderbirds
ps: Some people say that the protagonist of the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them series, Newt. Scamander also secretly raises a lot of dangerous magical animals. But Newt kept these dangerous creatures in magic boxes under the supervision of various magic spells, but there were no magical creatures that released alien species at will. At the end of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 1, the thunderbird that Newt released in the United States was originally a magical creature native to the Americas.
Hagrid's superior skills in the field of magical beasts, coupled with his physical superiority as a half-blood giant, Dumbledore arranged for him to take over as professor of the Class on the Protection of Magical Beasts. Truth be told, Hagrid still didn't do much. The class he teaches on the protection of magical animals can be called the scene of an accident, and his performance in the class can also be described as a self-release.
Fantastic Beasts where to find them: Sniff
In his class, from the 3x dangerous level eagle-headed horse with winged beasts, to the extremely high-risk level of artificial hybrid magic creatures fried tail snails, it was the students' learning content. Most professors in the first class will start from some milder magical creatures (such as sniffing, tree protection, etc.), but Hagrid directly brought the 3x dangerous level eagle-headed horse winged beast to the class for the third-grade students who were in the first class. It's like taking a biology class in real life and the teacher brings the leopard directly to the class. As a result, his first class was smashed, Draco. Malfoy was scratched by an eagle-headed winged beast, and although the direct cause of the student's injury was Malfoy's provocation of the eagle horse, Hagrid was undoubtedly to blame for bringing this dangerous creature to the classroom and failing to supervise it.
Draco was scratched by Buckbeak during Hagrid's class
By the time Harry and the others were in their fourth year, Hagrid unleashed himself and directly asked the students to feed his artificially bred dangerous creature, the Dynamite Snail. As for the significance of feeding the snails, what can students learn? No why, just because Professor Hagrid himself likes it, the students have to satisfy the professor's hobbies. As for the riot in the classroom, the students were burned by the tail snails, and the scratches were all small for Professor Hagrid. Harry, Ron, and Hermione have been staunch supporters of Hagrid's conservation classes since he became professor of magical animal protection. But his act of letting go of his students' cultivation of dynamite snails finally caused his staunch supporters to abandon his class—Harry and his friends didn't go on to choose the newts course for the Conservation of Magical Creatures class.
ps:
Note 1: The batch of fried tail snails that Harry and the others were fed in the fourth grade was bred by Hagrid from a human-headed sphinx scorpion-tailed beast and sixty fire crabs. The Sphinx is a xxxxx-class dangerous creature native to Greece (the most advanced, extremely lethal).
Note 2 to entry: Hagrid's cultivation of the dynamite snail is a serious violation of the Prohibition of Animal Breeding Experiments Act, adopted by the Ministry of Magic in 1965.
