Ollivanders said "I am sorry, very sorry, but a wand that has suffered this degree of damage cannot be repaired by any means that I know of." That is the key, he does not know how to but he is not closed-minded to there being other means to do it or that maybe another person knows how to.
Though Hagrid was himself a supporter of magical creatures, he disagreed when Hermione decided to create SPEW. Hermione pointed out how unhappy Dobby was being with Lucius, but Hagrid also pointed out that other house-elves considered him to be crazy. Be grateful if yeh didn't mention that ter anyone at Hogwarts. I'm — er — not supposed ter do magic, strictly speakin'. I was allowed ter do a bit ter follow yeh an' get yer letters to yeh an' stuff — one o' the reasons I was so keen ter take on the job —" — Hagrid explaining to Harry his rare usage of magic [src]In Sorcerer's Stone, Hagrid takes Harry to Olivander to get his wand, but Olivander recognizes Hagrid (Not hard to do) and asks him about his wand. Sent owls off ter all yer parents' old school friends, askin' fer photos ... knew yeh didn' have any ... d'yeh like it?" — Hagrid giving Harry a special photo album [src] Since Robbie Coltrane is not really 8-feet 6-inches tall, he was usually filmed from a low camera angle to make him look bigger (usually Harry's angle) or the other actors are filmed from a high camera angle. [52] In the credits of the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and in the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, Hagrid is listed as "Hagrid the Giant", despite being a half-giant, technically-speaking.
Fang can be seen on the school grounds since the beginning of the 1984–1985 school year. Hagrid referred to him as a puppy during the 1985–1986 school year.He also interacts with many dangerous animals in a way that not many wizards would dare. His relative strength makes the threats that they pose seem insignificant to him, and so he can consider treating a dragon as a pet.
Hagrid knew them very well and conveyed the truth about them to their son, who had been lead to believe insulting lies about them and their deaths, restoring and preserving their legacy in their son. Hagrid also kept a leather-bound family album of them which he gave to Harry, which Hagrid came into possession of through unknown circumstances, but might have been entrusted to him by Lily and James to give to their son. Hagrid was known to respect them for their desire to fight for what was right.Good wand, that one. But I suppose they snapped it in half when you got expelled." said Mr. Ollivander, suddenly stern. Despite this, Hagrid was a very sensitive person and was known to burst into tears when someone close to him was harmed or killed, or when he felt responsible for something that put his friends in peril, such as drunkenly telling Quirinus Quirrell how to get past his giant three headed dog, Fluffy.

Hagrid appears smaller in the films than in the novels, as the filmmakers describe him to be 8 feet 6 inches tall (as opposed to being 11 feet six inches in the books). Hagrid had a mixed relationship with Wilhelmina Grubbly-Plank as while she worked as a substitute for Hagrid in Care for Magical Creatures and his gamekeeping duties when Hagrid was absent or had a mission to do, he slightly envied her teaching skills, which made other students (including Harry, Ron and Hermione) consider her a superior teacher to him for Care of Magical Creatures. This also made him accept Harry, Ron and Hermione's untrue claims of Grubby-Plank being a "terrible teacher" when they attempted to reassure him that they still cared for him despite not taking the subject for their sixth year. Grubbly-Plank on the other hand seemed to respect Hagrid for his skills and abilities despite the students considering her a better teacher than him, as she complimented Hagrid's training of the school's Thestrals and also kept silent about his mission to recruit the giants when Harry inquired her about his whereabouts, understanding the importance of his classified mission. She wasn' really the maternal sort. Well ... it's not in their natures, is it?" — Hagrid discussing his mother [src] In the preparations for the Third Task, it is mentioned that Hagrid had been responsible for planting and growing the hedges that now fill the Quidditch pitch, and that he would be providing some of the creatures that the Champions would have to face. Harry, knowing the sorts of creatures that Hagrid is fond of, finds this rather worrying.Rubeus Hagrid is Keeper of the Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He apparently stands about twelve feet tall, and is immensely strong; when Harry first meets him, he bends a rifle barrel "into a knot as easily as if it had been made of rubber". He was expelled from Hogwarts and his wand was snapped in half, yet he still performs magic with his umbrella which is rumored to contain the broken parts of his wand. As an unqualified wizard who didn’t finish his education, Hagrid was not technically allowed to perform magic. And yet, the beloved gamekeeper seemed very magical. Now in his second year as Care of Magical Creatures teacher, Hagrid has regained enough confidence to start the class learning about something he calls Skrewts. These creatures, which initially look like shell-less, deformed lobsters, are totally new to all the students and to Hagrid; one of the things that Hagrid has the students doing is try to determine what exactly Skrewts eat. One gets the feeling that Hagrid, in his unscientific way, is trying to teach the class how to determine the characteristics of a hitherto unknown species. He will later, with the only somewhat willing assistance of the class, study their activity over a longer period, attempt to determine whether they want nesting boxes in which to hibernate (they do not), and give them exercise by having the students walk them on leashes (which becomes difficult as the Skrewts become as large as the students). I'm not saying his heart isn't in the right place, but you can't pretend he's not careless." — Minerva McGonagall describing Hagrid's personality [src] When Harry mentions Hagrid at the conclusion of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the year is 2017, and Hagrid is one year off turning 90 years old.
