Hagrid Was Actually a Secret Voldemort Ally All Along!

One delightful aspect of the series is its rich cast of characters, ranging from those who do good to those who are evil. The villains in Harry Potter, such as Voldemort, leave lasting impressions, while the characters on the side of good, like Hermione and Ron, are highly endearing. Additionally, some characters have hidden depths; for instance, Severus Snape appears to be a villain but is later revealed to be a double-agent working under Albus Dumbledore. This revelation shows that Snape killed Dumbledore to demonstrate his loyalty to Voldemort, but he ultimately chose to fight against Voldemort because of his affection for Lily Potter, Harry’s mother.

In addition to Snape being well-known for his ambiguous loyalties during the Wizarding War, characters such as Professor Quirrell, Peter Pettigrew, Mundungus Fletcher, and others also held dual allegiances. Furthermore, a theory circulating on Reddit implies that a significant character might have been loyal to Voldemort all along, making this revelation particularly poignant. There’s a substantial body of evidence to back up this claim.

Hagrid Secretly Worked for Voldemort the Entire Time

  • Hagrid was the first character from the Wizarding World Harry encountered.
  • Despite working there as an adult, Hogwarts expelled Hagrid during his school years.

During Harry Potter’s adventure, Rubeus Hagrid played a crucial role, with his most important part unfolding in Harry’s first year. He was the very first character from the magical realm Harry met, and he saved Harry from the Dursleys and paved the way for him to attend Hogwarts. Later on at Hogwarts, Hagrid served as a gatekeeper and groundskeeper. Unfortunately, he was framed by Tom Riddle who falsely accused Aragog of causing trouble when it was actually a Basilisk that was responsible.

Regarding Hagrid’s character in the Harry Potter series, he appears as a kind-hearted giant who plays a crucial role for Harry, despite his murky past. However, throughout the story, there are questionable actions attributed to him that might lead some readers to suspect he was actually working for Voldemort all along. The Harry Potter series is rich in subtle hints and clues that become significant as the mystery unfolds. When it comes to Hagrid, there’s a considerable amount of evidence pointing towards his potential involvement with the Death Eaters, which many prefer not to acknowledge, even from the early stages of the series.

Hagrid Is Better at Magic Than He Should Be

  • Hagrid faced expulsion from Hogwarts in his third year, yet what he demonstrated early on in the series was beyond what he would’ve learned.
  • Hagrid never battled a Death Eater until the very end of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

It’s been suggested that throughout the story, there are indications pointing towards Hagrid having always sided with evil. An intriguing instance of this is found in “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.” Despite being expelled from Hogwarts during his third year, Hagrid exhibited magical abilities that would be impossible for someone who can no longer use magic after their expulsion. For example, he famously gave Dudley a pigtail when they were hiding on the island. While this might seem like a trivial act, transfiguration is a complex skill and isn’t taught at a basic level. Instead, it’s only taught at the N.E.W.T. level, making it unusual for an expelled student like Hagrid to have mastered such magic.

When Harry Potter and Hagrid departed from the island, the half-giant mentioned he flew, which is concerning since we know Hagrid can’t ride a broomstick, there were no magical creatures around, and he doesn’t have Sirius Black’s motorbike. If Hagrid did indeed fly to the island, it could mean he learned this skill from Voldemort, one of the few characters in the series known for flying without aid. Unassisted flight is uncommon, and since Voldemort has passed this ability to close associates like Snape, Hagrid might be another who learned it from the Dark Lord. Although the Harry Potter series initially showed Hagrid possessing remarkable abilities despite not having a wand or officially using magic, he strangely doesn’t engage in combat against the Death Eaters until their defeat is imminent. Hagrid’s magical prowess seems inconsistent with his background at Hogwarts, which certainly raises suspicions.

Hagrid’s Persona Might’ve Been an Act All Along

  • Hagrid might’ve been far smarter than he let on.
  • In Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore tasks Hagrid with a mission that would seemingly be out of his depth.

As a fervent admirer, I can share that being an efficient double agent demands crafting a distinct and believable persona to win over those you are deceiving. Take Hagrid, for instance, who was known for his immense compassion, but also had some obvious flaws. He was often clumsy in the series, and wasn’t very discreet with information. For example, he carelessly disclosed details about the Sorcerer’s Stone to Harry, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger, as well as leaked information regarding Sirius Black.

However, it was surprising when, later in the series, Dumbledore entrusted Hagrid with a mission – to persuade giants to join the fight against Voldemort. At face value, Dumbledore’s decision seemed logical given Hagrid’s background. But it wasn’t until the fifth book that we saw Hagrid capable of such a task. It left me wondering if the Death Eaters had somehow learned about the giants’ whereabouts through Hagrid – there’s a chance he might have inadvertently provided them with the location.

It’s plausible that Hagrid’s clumsy demeanor in “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” was intentionally crafted as a cover, suggesting he might have been a mastermind all along. Given his past actions, it wouldn’t be surprising if he were to take on such a role. By adopting this guise, figures like Dumbledore would never suspect Hagrid of being capable of posing a significant threat. However, there are instances when his true capabilities would inadvertently reveal themselves. Contrary to Snape’s actions, where he feigned loyalty to Voldemort while secretly serving Dumbledore, Hagrid might have been hiding his strength under a facade of bumbling innocence.

Discovering that Hagrid had been secretly serving Voldemort throughout the Harry Potter series would have been a heart-wrenching twist. Although it didn’t turn out that way, it’s intriguing to speculate that J.K. Rowling might have initially planned for Hagrid to go rogue and then altered her plans despite subtly hinting at this possibility. With Hagrid demonstrating a level of magic proficiency beyond what one would expect from him and potentially concealing his true identity as a means to mislead, along with numerous other clues suggesting he could be a dark wizard, the evidence is compelling.

In the novel “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets,” Hagrid can be found in Knockturn Alley, one of the many intriguing characters that enriched the Harry Potter series. His endearing traits were intentionally crafted to make him appealing to readers. During this storyline, Hagrid becomes one of the initial adult figures to forge a personal bond with Harry. However, some speculate that he might have been acting undercover as a double agent, working for Voldemort while appearing friendly towards Harry. While this theory is improbable given the nature of the series, it’s entertaining to ponder over such possibilities.
