The REAL Reason Hagrid's Wand Was Snapped - DARK Harry Potter Theory
Rubeus Hagrid’s FIRST wand was rather bendy, 16” long and made of oak. It has been expressed that those with oak wands usually have an ‘affinity with the magic of the natural world’, that a ‘bendy’ wand signifies a high level of adaptability in personality, and that the significant length of his wand is representative of his large stature and enormous personality.
You can tell a lot about a person from their wand.
But if you met Hagrid as an adult, you’d just have to GUESS these things about him, because the Hagrid WE KNOW walks around with an umbrella.
Of course, there’s more to Hagrid’s umbrella wand than meets the eye, but the fact remains that HAGRID does not carry a wand in the traditional sense- the main reason being that his wand was SNAPPED while he was still just a boy.
During his third year at Hogwarts, Hagrid was falsely accused by Tom Riddle to have released a monstrous creature on the school that killed a Muggle-born witch named Myrtle Warren. And as a result of this, his wand was destroyed by the British Ministry of Magic.
But the actions taken towards Hagrid always seemed EXTREME and INCONSISTENT.
Because there was insufficient evidence to prosecute Hagrid, he avoided Azkaban (at least the first time around). But he still somehow landed himself an expulsion from Hogwarts and a snapped wand.
Today we’re going to be diving in to the REAL reasons for Hagrid’s UNFAIR treatment.

There is another explanation I can think of… maybe the ministry allowed Hagrid to be stay under supervision at Hogwarts instead of Azkaban in exchange for having his wand snapped
I always figured Dumbledore used the Elder wand to fix Hagrid's wand and told him to keep quiet about it. Dumbledore might have even tutored him a bit on some things as well. And Hagrid, being so loyal to Dumbledore, kept it quiet. And, if you noticed it, the only time he's really allowed to use his wand-brella (before he becomes a professor) is when Dumbledore tells him to.

Dumbledore fixing Hagrid's wand makes a lot of sense. Every time we've seen Hagrid use magic, he hasn't really misfired like every other broken wand in the story. I wouldn't really call him not completely transfiguring Dudley counts as a misfire. Probably a small case of user error. It would've been a huge problem if he succeeded anyway. Wouldn't have been able to explain that one away.

I was always under the assumption his wand was snapped because he was accused of opening the chamber of secrets and someone died.

I think the difference between Newt and Hagrid was that Aragog was blamed for Myrtle's death. Its one thing to illegally keep a dangerous animal, such as a bear for a pet. Its a completely different matter if your bear goes off on its own and mauls somebody to death. You would be held partially responsible for what they did, and there would be more serious consequences than just unlawfully owning a bear.

Video title: The REAL Reason Hagrid's Wand Was Snapped Half the video: Explanation of Hagrids life
I always thought that Hagrid's wand was destroy BECAUSE he was expelled as such a young age, and two years before he could take (and pass) his OWLS. If I'm not mistaken the OWLS are the tests that allow you to practice magic in the outside world, and been expelled in his third year meant he would never passed his OWLS. I think it would be like been barred from ever taking a driving test because you drove a car and killed people with it at age thirteen. And this actually explain why Newt Scamander, was allowed to keep his wand, as he was expelled much later in his education than Hagrid.

The Ministry of Magic investigation into Myrtle's death must have been inadequate to say the least. Did they find anything that indicated a spider attack on her body? I don't think so. Another thing, if Hagrid's wand was broken and left that way, we never observed his umbrella malfunction when it was used as a wand. As others have speculated, if that wand was ever snapped, Dumbledore must have repaired it by using the Elder wand.
Why Hagrid never got a wand after being proven innocent after Chamber of Secrets is one of the bigger holes in the series.

Hagrid had his wand snapped when he was expelled, harry was threatened with expulsion and the snaping of his wand, newt was expelled but his wand was not snapped, criminals dont get their wands snapped. I think whats going on here is the O.W.L. exams. If you have passed the exams, you're considered a wizard, that can safely use magic and so when newt was expelled, he had already passed his exams and so was allowed to keep his wand. Harry had not started year 5 yet, i assuke hagrid was expelled before taking the exams too.

J.k. rowling thiks tall guys are scary. Confirmed.
There is a zero percent chance his wand was snapped, or at least remained snapped. Dumbledore had to have either saved it or repaired it with his Elder Wand. Even if the pieces were put into the umbrella, broken wands can’t do any magic in any controlled way. Wands that are fully snapped can’t do magic whatsoever, at least not more than a regular stick can. Hagrid performs perfectly competent, powerful, and controlled magic through his umbrella, so whatever is in the umbrella cannot possibly be the pieces of Hagrid’s wand. It absolutely must be his fully intact wand.

Harry was still unqualified at that point, not having taken his OWLs yet. I think that's the common factor. If someone who isn't yet a full wizard does something bad enough, snapping their wand is on the table. If they're a fully qualified wizard, it's unthinkable. Does it make sense? No, but neither do taboos about nudity or gender markers. They're social constructs. In the Victorian era, pink was considered a very masculine color, associated with baby boys, and it was blue that was associated with baby girls. A hundred years later, men would actively avoid anything pink for fear of being associated with weakness or being LGBTQ+. In the wizarding world, taking away a wizard's wand is the harshest of punishments, and snapping it forever is unthinkable. Preventing a child from *becoming* a wizard apparently is not, even if they're almost there. It doesn't make sense to us, because it's not our society so we can see how weird it is.

The whole "school where you live and get sorted into competing houses" is quite different to most peoples reality. I was blown away when I heard that this is actually how some British schools work. Also I think it is super interesting to see a magic society being in the process of getting left behind by ever evolving technological advancement. Like 400 years ago, they must have been so far ahead. Since then they even seem to have regressed, since all the cool stuff, like the mirror, the veil, the pensieve, the 3 deathly hallows, and even the 3 unforgivable curses are not even completely understood by modern wizards (it was proposed that all of that way invented by the same people). The Hogwarts hat is also unique, and the chamber of the secrets is hidden in a way that only people who were intended to find it found it. The only somewhat recent examples of impressive magic is the philosopher stone and the marauders map. The later might have be a repurposed page of ancient magical paper from a specific magical book.
If I ever went to Hogwarts, I'd probably spend majority of my time just hanging out with Hagrid, and relax at his cozy cottage. Hagrid has become my favourite character from the HP universe. I'd very likely also end up in Hufflepuff 🤣

For all the reasons The Ministry would fear Hagrid, I can’t imagine Dumbledore not wanting to put that to use in the Order of the Phoenix.

I have a feeling Dumbledore still taught Hagdrid a bit of magic, and probably fixed and hid his wand in his umbrella. Another reason for why he was so harshly treated is probably because he has such high potential for natural magic, he lights a fire using magic from his "umbrella"...but never says an incantation.

Ah, Hagrid's wand! A poignant example of the complexities in wizarding law and prejudice. It's tragic how his gentle giant nature clashed with the rigid rules of the Ministry. But isn't it fascinating how it reflects broader themes of discrimination and the struggle for acceptance in the magical world? Dumbledore's support for him despite this setback truly shows the power of loyalty and friendship.

The real question is why not just go to another country, buy a wand there and continue living as a normal wizard. As territorial as wizards are trying to cross borders to enforce their laws in another country is the sort of thing that would start an actual magical war. The sort of thing that would have one ministry teleporting magic WMDs into the other's capital.
I figure after the Battle of Hogwarts that Kingsley Shacklebolt as interim Minister of Magic would grant Hagrid a few things; First, a new wand because he can't use his old one in public, and perhaps because the Second Wizarding War changed him as it did all others. I suggest a Chestnut wand with unicorn hair core, 18" long: for working with beasties, a sense of justice, and a strong bond with Hagrid. Length due to a growth in Hagrid's kindness and compassion. (was 16" before). Second, acceptance back at Hogwarts for madrigal learning of his choice, carefully guided by headmistress Minerva McGonagall. Third, Hagrid's entire legal and imprisonment records expunged. I think that's enough to be going on with.

May not have necessarily been evil, he surely brought nothing but trouble 😂
I think it has to do with the OWL's. Hagred was in his 3rd year, Newt was in his 6th year, Harry was just about to begin his 5th year when he was told that Ministry Wizards would be coming to destroy his wand.
That means Hagrid was allowed to use magic when he faced the Aurors Umbridge brought, but he still didn't use magic against them. Probably because he knew the real reason they snapped his wand and didn't want to gove the ministry any more reasons than they thought they already had.

I always wondered if Dumbledore secretly tutored Hagrid as a student after his expulsion and that's how he kept his wand as an umbrella and can clearly cast complex spells.
Non wizards can't have wands. They might have applied that logic to him once he was "no longer a wizard".
I always find it interesting that Hagrid had his life destroyed by Voldemort. Poor dude
I think one reason Hagrid's wand was snapped, or perhaps the excuse given, was his age. Hagrid was only in his third year, so he really wouldn't know how to use a wand properly, and could potentially do a lot of accidental damage. He was *not* a wizard, only a student, so there was an opportunity to prevent a(n allegedly) dangerous person from ever becoming a wizard. His alleged crime was severe enough to warrant (or be presented as warranting) not being allowed to proceed. Newt was 16, already past his OWLs and therefore already a fully qualified wizard - remember, not all wizards stay on to take NEWT level classes, and those who leave after their fifth year are full wizards. It was too late to put the genie back in the bottle in his case, although they could take steps that would keep him out of the most prestigious and highest-ranking positions in society, by keeping him from any NEWTs. In wizarding society, a wizard without a wand is helpless. Taking away their wand would be like stripping them naked and chopping their hands and feet off. It's just unthinkable for most. And given how little non-magical education most wizards get, expecting them to go live as a Muggle would be both unsuccessful and endanger the masquerade, the Statute of Secrecy.
I always thought that the students who had not passed OWLS and were expelled got their wands snapped. But anyone who is qualified was safe from that punishment.
Hagrid's old man was a F R E A K! 😅 dude likes 'em big is an understatement..
The wand being snapped just seems to be part of the expulsion from Hogwarts, seeing how Harry's wand was facing the same fate in OotP. Newt's wand wasn't destroyed because he had already passed his OWLs, which is apparently seen as the threshold to allow some to stay within the wizarding community. Not allowing Hagrid to have his wand formally restored after he was cleared of all charges however might have been because of his heritage.
They snapped his wand to assert dominance.
This is a difficult thing to understand. A Wizard that is imprisoned can be rehabilitated, but a wizard that doesn't get proper training in magic shouldn't have a wand. Newt had a different accusation than Hagrid Newt wasn't part of a murder and yes Giants have a bad stereotype that is hard to look past as a wizard.
Hagrids father was a man of taste.
The thing I don't see people taking in to account for Newt vs Hargrid is that a Jarvey is a class XXX creature where as an Acromantula is a XXXXX known wizard killer and WAY more dangerous. it;s like "oh you brought a snake to school" vs "oh you brought a TIGER to school." They are two very different things.
I can totally believe some prejudice was involved in Hagrid's case, but also, Harry is threatened with having his wand destroyed after performing underage magic in the muggle world, which is way less intense than having a murder accusation over you, even if it was durting the tie Fudge tried to "cancel" Harry. I think maybe something about not being fully trained. For Newt, he would have already taken his OWL's, which appears to be sufficient to call yourself a trained Wizard. Some jobs only require OWL grades and Fred and George debate leaving without taking any NEWT's (which they eventually end up doing) and even if they did get the funding for the joke shop from Harry, you'd think they would have known if there would be any problems for example with getting permits and such, if they only had OWL's.
When some of the students were likely to have their parents not let them return to Hogwarts because they questioned Harry Potter and dumbledore's judgment, it was implied that they would keep them out of Hogwarts and homeschool them instead. So if he is expelled from Hogwarts, that still would not be reason enough to snap his wand in half. Also why couldn't he just go back to the one store and get another one?
I think Hagrid should do some Wizard homeschooling.
Hagrid's wand was snapped, because of the wizarding community's prejudice against giants.

The problem is that JK does not appear to have constructed a solid and logic magical law system. She states that when children are expeled from Hogward and do not get to graduate they get banned to practice magic and their Wands are snaped. However most recently it was stated that forbid Children from practice magic is dangerous and maybe letal for Children.
One thing I think is funny is that while yes, the wand matched with the witch/wizard would be able to tell you a bit about them, nobody has EVER used that in that way. Like nobody has every identified how someone would be/act just on their wand.
The real world isn't so different. Punishments in the last 30 years haven't always matched the crimes committed. Just a few streets from me, a guy high on "grass" blew a stop sign and ran over two girls crossing the street, ending their lives. The public was outraged when it was known he was released from incarceration before the weekend. Meanwhile, in California, I think wait staff can be jailed for giving you a straw. I never thought it was that big of a deal to snap Hagrid's wand anyway. What keeps any witch/wizard from getting another one? Ollivander can't be the _only_ seller. Black market. Steal one. Lost and Found bin.
I would love a miniseries all about Hagrid.
Tbh there is a big difference between newt and hagrid, newt had already passed his o.w.l, meaning he was a qualified wizard, before he was expelled, hagrid was not, any student what hasn't passed their owls, would have their wand snapped
10:26 Two-thirds into the video before we get to the center of the hedge maze: Hagrid got his want snapped because he was a half-giant, full-stop. The false accusation was just the excuse. Hagrid was treated as a person until he grew too tall to "pass" as a human, then the bigoted majority wanted to remove this 'non-person' from the ranks of the wizards. Many of the 'Dark theories' seem to stem from the core Dark Secret of the Wizarding World: it's essentially a mirror of the old Colonial Era. The WIzards are the Colonial Powers, The Miggles are the Non-Colonial European countries, and the magical creatures are the "savages" of "outside Europe."
Imagine fully powered auror Hagrid vs Voldemort.
Now it's important to note that Harry's wand would almost suffer the same fate as Hagrid's after he used the Patronus Charm to protect his cousin Dudley from being kissed by a Dementor, for the crime of Underage Magic, a "crime" Harry did commit, but Dumbledore was successful in convincing the Wizengamot that Harry purely acted out of defensive reasons, saving someone from a horrible fate. When I take the tons of letters Harry received until the Order Of The Phoenix brought him to their HQ, they seem very aware of this being a logical way to go and they urged Harry NOT to surrender his wand. However it's very clear that if Harry and Dumbledore lost the case, Harry's wand would have been snapped or otherwise be destroyed. The movies may not fully cover that, but the novel does. Now, I wonder since Newt appears to have escaped this fate, all three have in common that they were expelled or in Harry's case, almost expelled, but Harry's wand would have been snapped had the expulsion come through. Now Harry is NOT a half giant, but Harry was of course a threat to Fudge's career and Fudge might have realized that if Harry kept his wand that Dumbledore would see to it that Harry knew how to use it properly, so likely "corruption" may be what Harry's and Hagrid's cases had in common. Not to mention that Harry's crime should have lead to clearance from the start as he only acted in defense (and fortunately Dumbledore managed to enforce that outcome), and in Hagrid's case he didn't even commit the crime at all, but nobody (except for Dumbledore) appeared to keep the thought in mind that the real culprit was actually trying to lay off the blame to someone else and someone who's an easy target due to prejudice (we know that Dumbledore had this idea, since Riddle already stated himself that Dumbledore kept an annoyingly close eye on him since that particular incident).

I think the factor is newt had passed his owls and the other two hadn't. Remember years six and seven are optional education in the wizarding world. So getting expelled in those years still means you completed the mandatory education.
But In Viking Culture, Gaints Possesses Magic..So Doing Haggord Dirty Is Crazy😢
A Very Good Video 👍🏻
The real life equivalent of Hagrid with a full wizarding education would be Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson having the intellect of Roger Penrose.
5:37 "who was only a few years older at the time"
But I think newt would have counted as a qualified wizard. He’d sat is OWLs, and NEWTs are more of an extra, Fred and George didn’t get their wands taken for example.
Hayride got a raw deal.
It's stupid how they'll break his wand but not dangerous criminals which is asking for trouble when they do get out with their main weapon on hand.
Is there a video on why Wizards fear muggles so much to hide from them? With how arrogant wizards seem to be, they seem to both be totally aware of, but also completely ignore, the vast advantage muggles have over them that could greatly improve their lives which kinda feels like a bit of a plot hole. Most WW2 era tech works in the wizarding world, so I wonder if that could be part of it. (Seems like only electronics malfunction near magic, fully mechanical devices don't like old cars, guns, ext...) Although that also makes you wonder why dark wizards don't leverage that advantage, perhaps its their arrogance? Its a weird case.
Apart from Dumbledore he didnt have anyone to defend him. The Ministry and Dippet wanted it all swept under the carpet so let Hagrid take all the blame
Hagrid is such a big guy that i believe all this about his 16 inch long wand.
If Hagrid stood trial, you could just attribute it to the attitudes of both the era and the mood of the preceding judge. In real life, statistics show that a judge's average prosecution rate differs before and after their breaks. If you happen to get a judge who has been preceding for hours without lunch, you're likelier to get a harsher punishment. Also, Hagrid was long before Bellatrix's time. With ages passing, society tends to mellow out with crime and punishment. Hagrid happened to be punished during a time where crime and punishment were at it's most punitive. I can justify this in my head, but if you look at it from a point of view criticizing the author, sure. The punishments are inconsistent.
This has always been a source of trepidation for me. It seems Rowling never fully developed the Hagrid story.
I've read a lot of Harry Potter fanfiction and have come to the decision not to trust Albus Dumbledore, this video gives good evidence of how Dumbledore Manipulated Hagrid from a very young age
I love this channel ❤ i get so intrigued with the lore and the possibilities 🙌🏼
I have always compared hagrid to my grandpa because of the striking resemblence and comparable personality
I figured it was actually because Dumbledore told him there's only enough room for one gay wizard at Hogwarts
You know what I never understood? Why blame Hagrid’s “pet”? This is Tom Morvolo Riddle we are talking about. Why didn’t he just.. frame Hagrid himself? He very well could have. He didn’t! But WHY didn’t he?! I know it’s probably explained somewhere but maybe just maybe you think Voldy held a special place in that black heart of his for our lovable giant? A very very very dark and dank and gloomy tiny place that wouldn’t let him do that to Hagrid but of coarse he’s still evil so he fingers his pet instead? Food for thought. My new head cannon unless someone can explain it or flush it out. Anyone else with time on this though?
my main question is, why didn't they issue him a new wand after he was exonerated in the chamber of secrets?
fudge was a major elitist and if he was more talanted he might have been recruited by voldemort
Aren't werewolf cubs just children afflicted with lycanthropy? Like if Remus Lupin was a werewolf cub when he was 4, would that not be a werewolf cub?
It was Dumbledore who fixed Hagrid wand but was told not to tell anyone.🧙♀️⚡️🧹🪄🛖
Hagrid's father is the bravest man in the entire lore 😂
It would have been awesome if the movie portrayed Grawp during the battle of Hogwarts
