Am I the only one who initially thought Sirius stole the firebolt? Lol

2024-11-08 05:30:58 +0000 UTCWe don't have another case of a student being expelled to compare it to, so can't really say "definitely". There were a lot of factors at play in Hagrid's case.

2024-11-08 05:26:20 +0000 UTCWe don't have another case of a student being expelled to compare the situation to, so can't really know for sure. Hagrid was suspected of being responsible for the death of a student via a magical beast. That is a crime in this universe. There was no concrete evidence though, just Tom Riddle's word against Hagrids, so that gave Dumbledore more leeway to pull strings. (the prejudice against Hagrid for being a half giant didn't help him either) Theoretically, Dumbledore was most likely able to keep Hagrid out of Azkaban with the compromise of expulsion and snapping the wand. He repaired it later with the Elder wand as we know Hagrid has his wand in his pink umbrella. It's mind blowing to me that Death Eaters or people who commit murder, torture etc. don't get their wands snapped though. That should be automatic.

2024-09-23 19:17:30 +0000 UTCWait, did Sirius' mom die thinking Sirius was actually on Voldermort's side? Would this mean that her portrait only became really mean when Sirius returns from Azkaban and learns the truth?

2024-09-02 07:44:25 +0000 UTCI am almost completely certain that Hagrid's wand is broken because he is a student. He wasn't a fully trained Wizard, so he wasn't trusted to keep a wand. it seems like students who are expelled get their wands broken. Criminals do not.

2024-08-22 18:49:33 +0000 UTCI say that Hagrid's wand being broken is unique because he was both expelled and sent to Azkaban. And being expelled might be what gets your want snapped. (Or both, or was part of the punishment). Also, was Grindelwalds influence relevant at this time?

2024-08-06 07:16:29 +0000 UTCI can’t remember which book it’s in, but Harry asks Sirius how he managed the order and Sirius says he ordered it by owl in Harry’s name but “told them” to take the money from his(Sirius) vault. I don’t think he had to go to Gringotts.

2024-07-30 13:19:07 +0000 UTCYeah it's definitely because Hagrid was still in school; their wands are snapped when they're expelled. It's not about Azkaban

2024-07-29 21:31:35 +0000 UTCI think they snap hagrids wand because he never finished school so is not a qualified wizard

2024-07-29 21:12:02 +0000 UTCI don’t get when you guys say that they snapped hagrids wand because of how big he is because in Order Harry gets a letter saying that someone was coming to snap his wand
