Shocking Fan Theory Claims Hagrid Was Secretly on Voldemort’s Team

BBG News

Without a doubt, one enchanting fantasy novel series and film franchise that continues to bring endless delight is none other than “Harry Potter“. The seven Harry Potter films offered fans an abundance of content to delve into, unearthing hidden mysteries and uncovering fascinating Easter eggs. A particularly unsettling fan theory circulates around this beloved series, suggesting that one of the cherished Harry Potter characters may not have been as virtuous as we thought, and contemplating this possibility is more disheartening than the combined deaths of Hedwig and Dobby.

Hagrid as Voldemort’s Ally

From the get-go, Rubeus Hagrid stood as one of Harry’s steadfast confidants. He wasn’t simply a transient figure who popped up sporadically; instead, he was an integral part of Harry’s life from the instant the young wizard discovered his magical heritage and Hogwarts. Hagrid was the one who rescued Harry from the clutches of the Dursleys and immersed him into the world of Hogwarts, providing him with crucial knowledge that shaped his journey. The bond between them offered Harry a comforting anchor in his new reality, yet it seems this friendship, rooted in kindness and protection, concealed an entirely different purpose.

In a subtle yet intriguing twist, Hagrid’s unique bond with Harry and his role as Harry’s first confidant might have been an ingenious cover for concealing his true motives. Initially, Hagrid acted as both a guide and protector to Harry, providing him with invaluable support. This close relationship gave him the ideal vantage point to hide any connection to the Dark Lord, should J.K. Rowling have intended such a plot twist. If this is indeed the case, then the possibility of Hagrid being portrayed as a villain in HBO’s Harry Potter reboot could be an exciting development. The fact that Hagrid was so nurturing and kind towards Harry makes any suspicion of wrongdoing or malicious intent seemingly implausible, which would make a revelation of such nature all the more shocking.

Beyond what we’ve already discussed, Hagrid demonstrates remarkable magical abilities, which are surprising given that he was dismissed from Hogwarts before completing his education. During his third year at Hogwarts, Hagrid was accused of freeing Aragog, a massive spider, from the Chamber of Secrets and inadvertently causing the deaths of fellow students. However, it became clear later on that Voldemort was actually the one who had framed him, as he, the dark wizard, was the one who opened the chamber and unleashed the deadly basilisk. Upon his expulsion, Hagrid’s wand was destroyed, thereby stripping him of his authorization to practice magic.

Even though Harry had been temporarily expelled and prohibited from practicing magic, Hagrid still employed magic during their initial encounter when he gave Dudley a pig’s tail. Performing advanced transfiguration spells can be challenging, yet it remains unclear how Hagrid honed his skills post-expulsion. This fan theory suggests that Voldemort, who appreciated powerful allies and esteemed wizards, might have had someone within Hogwarts monitoring Harry’s activities for him – a move characteristic of the cunning Dark Lord. This could explain Voldemort’s intense interest in his ally, Severus Snape.

Hagrid’s Potentially Double-Sided Persona

It’s puzzling that Hagrid, with such powerful magical skills, chose to conceal them. After all, Hagrid was not perceived as a threat by anyone. He was known for his kind heart and support towards Harry, who wasn’t seen as dangerous. Instead, Hagrid seemed clumsy and sometimes helpless, which only made him more endearing. It’s possible that his behavior was a subtle way of getting closer to the Chosen One.

Because Harry was young when he first encountered Hagrid in one of the most renowned fantasy films ever made, Hagrid felt compelled to present himself as trustworthy and harmless to win over Harry’s confidence. Indeed, he managed to achieve this, leaving J.K. Rowling with the opportunity to surprise her readers by exposing Hagrid as a secret agent, although she ultimately decided not to do so.

Due to Hagrid’s reliable nature, Dumbledore assigned him a task that appeared extremely challenging given his background. Essentially, the headmaster dispatched Hagrid to locate and persuade giants to join forces with him in the impending battle against Voldemort. It might seem peculiar or surprising that Hagrid, known for his past struggles to keep secrets and often causing more confusion than order, was chosen for such a critical assignment.

Beyond what we already know, it’s worth mentioning that numerous giants ultimately chose to align themselves with Lord Voldemort following the persuasion of the Death Eaters. This situation might be linked to Hagrid, as he would have been aware of their whereabouts and potentially could have disclosed this information to the Dark Lord. A surprising revelation in the Harry Potter series was the discovery of Professor Quirrell’s alliance with Voldemort. Just like Hagrid, Quirrell portrayed a bumbling persona, but he was actually working against our heroes all along.

It seems that the events suggest Hagrid might have been working for Voldemort, but since he never turned out to be a backstabber as the theory implied, it’s more likely just a coincidence. J.K. Rowling has shared her thoughts on various theories throughout the years, but Hagrid being an ally of Voldemort was never addressed by her. In the end, Hagrid will continue to be our beloved character in the Harry Potter series, and that’s a comforting thought. By the way, you can stream all the Harry Potter movies on Hulu and Disney+.
