Summary

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.
