Hagrid is a steadfast source of love and confidence for Harry throughout the eight Harry Potter movies as he makes his way through love, grief, separation, and even close calls to death.
Hagrid’s distinctive appeal in the movies is mostly due to Robbie Coltrane, the actor who played Rubeus Hagrid in all of the Harry Potter movies.
The actor did a fantastic job of portraying the character on screen and connecting with other characters, which helped to make his passages some of the most enduring scenes in film history. Here are some of the best Hagrid scenes from the Harry Potter movies as we lament Robbie Coltrane’s premature passing at the age of 72.
1) The first time Harry encounters him (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone)
Probably his most moving scene is when Harry and the audience first meet Rubeus Hagrid.
It also represents a pivotal moment in the story. Hagrid enters the little, remote house and wakes up everyone on the night before Harry’s eleventh birthday. He gives Harry a recently baked cake. He continues, apparently satisfied with himself, “I baked it myself, words and everything.”
The scene went on to win fans’ hearts and is regarded as one of the most heartfelt parts of the entire series. The incident is significant because it foreshadows Hagrid’s relationship with Harry in the future. Just as he shows up when Harry is feeling lonely on his birthday, Hagrid’s presence in Harry’s life serves as a constant reminder that he is loved.
2) After Draco calls Hermoine a “mudblood,”
he comforts her (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets)
Harry Potter is a fictional film series, but it is incredibly reflective of real-life truths.
Each figure stands for a certain societal element and political activity. Hagrid is a complex individual as well. As innocent and innocent as he appears, he is one of the most intelligent and hardworking Hogwarts students.
They end up at Hagrid’s to help Ron with the slug problem after Hermoine becomes upset about being called a “mudblood.” Draco’s actions make Harry aware of muggle-born people’s prejudice for the first time.
Hermoine is referred to as one of the greatest witches of her time by Hagrid, who also reveals to Harry why Draco committed the crime. Hermoine is shown at the end of the scene smiling at Hagrid’s statement and seems satisfied.
The majority of Rubeus Hagrid’s contributions to Harry’s life and Hogwarts in general go unacknowledged. This is especially true at the moment when Harry tells him that Hogwarts wouldn’t exist without him (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets). Nevertheless, it’s encouraging to hear Harry acknowledge that without Hagrid, his life might not have been as extraordinary.
In the Great Hall of the Chamber of Secrets, Harry declares that Hagrid is essential to the continued existence of Hogwarts before rushing to give him a consoling hug.
The children in the hallway then applaud Hagrid. It strengthens the bond between Harry and Hagrid, which is only the start of a great, meaningful friendship. Because of the significance it placed on the character, the scene appealed to fans of both the literature and the movie’s setting.
4) The Aragog Funeral (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince)
The visually captivating movies in the series include Half-Blood Prince.
It has a balanced tone despite the doom that currently reigns over the world. In a particularly memorable moment, Harry indulges in his friendship with Rubeus Hagrid during Aragog’s funeral by letting go of his worry about rescuing the world.
Harry is overjoyed when he receives the Felix Felicis that day because it is supposed to bring him luck. He decides to visit Hagrid immediately away and learns that the wizard is mourning Aragog’s passing. It’s a beautiful sight when Harry approaches a crying Hagrid. Even if we have little sympathy for Aragog, the situation grabs our attention as Rubeus Hagrid’s immature emotions are made clear.
5) Before the action’s climax when he carries Harry (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II)
Hagrid carrying Harry—who is at the time assumed to be dead—is one of the saddest scenes in history. Rubeus Hagrid, who first told Harry he was a wizard and remained his friend throughout, wears a blank expression as Hermoine tears, Ron is astonished, and Neville speaks openly about Harry.
Hagrid’s face conveys a lot about what he is feeling. Although it could appear that Hagrid’s current feelings were not addressed, Coltrane’s performance speaks through silence. Countless admirers, pals, and co-stars tweeted in Robbie Coltrane’s honor, including JK Rowling. All Harry Potter fans have expressed their sorrow about Coltrane’s passing.
