Everybody loves Hagrid, right?

I shouldn't have told you that,

I should not have told you that.

Hey brother!

Boy, howdy y'all, if there was one thing I assumed to be universally agreed upon,

it was love for what I had previously assumed to be

everyone's favorite half giant, Hagrid. Which now that I'm saying it I

realize that the sample pool for half giants is quite small and only includes Madam Maxine and

Old Rubeus himself, who we get way more time with, so, huh.

But just here recently, I was conversing with a collection of friends when to my utter shock and surprise

this very notion that Hagrid was anything but just swell was thrown into question.

And then when I thought things couldn't get any worse I found this Reddit post title that I feel like I'm the only one who hates Hagrid.

Anyone else?

Now, granted, it only has one up vote and was posted nine years ago, and the 34 comments are mostly refuting this very idea and the uploader is an account that no longer exists

probably out of shame but still.

Actually I do feel like I should clarify,

you should never feel shame if you need to take a step back.

You have my full support for taking your energies elsewhere.

But if I'm not using my platform here

to argue a nearly decade old point about a fictional character

against an anonymous poster who by my own omissions decision I fully support, then what

am I even doing with my life?
