The wand of Rubeus Hagrid was 16 inches in length and made of oak wood with an unknown core material.^[1] Hagrid's wand was also described as "rather bendy" by Garrick Ollivander, who manufactured it.^[ane]

History

This wand was snapped when Hagrid was expelled from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in his 3rd twelvemonth,^[2] He was allowed to go along the pieces of the wand, which he curtained inside an umbrella as he wasn't allowed to do magic due to his expulsion.^[3] The fact that he was able to do magic with the umbrella suggests that the wand may have been repaired at some time before 1991.

"Shouldn'ta lost me atmosphere, but it didn't work anyway. Meant ter turn him into a pig, but I suppose he was and so much like a sus scrofa anyhow at that place wasn't much left ter practice."

— Hagrid musing over Dudley'southward grunter-tail predicament in 1991^[src]

The wand may have been, in some form, mended (probably by Albus Dumbledore using the Elder Wand because this wand showed the power to repair cleaved wands). When Hagrid collected Harry Potter from the shack the Dursleys were hiding in in 1991, Hagrid was able to conjure a burn to cook sausages, and to speed upward the boat when he and Harry get out the shack. However, its failure to completely transfigure Dudley Dursley could exist due to either the wand's inability to perform such complex magic, or considering Hagrid, having been expelled in his 3rd year, was unable to exercise anything more than requite Dudley a pig's tail. Or perhaps, on a less serious note, Dudley could accept already been then utterly pig-like, there was cipher more for Hagrid to do except give him the tail.^[3]

Hagrid has too used the Water-Making Spell to put out his flaming business firm in the summer of 1997 later on information technology was prepare afire by Thorfinn Rowle.^[4]

Behind the scenes

J. M. Rowling has commented on Hagrid's wand woods: Hagrid, for instance, has an oak wand though past this Celtic organization he should have a wand fabricated of elderberry; in Britain, the oak is 'King of the Forest' and symbolises forcefulness, protection and fecundity; what other wood could 'choose' Hagrid? ^[5]
At 16 inches, Hagrid'due south wand is the longest known wand within the serial.
- The only longer known wand is the prop replica of Lucius Malfoy'southward wand, which is 18" long, but whose length isn't officially stated in either the novels or the movies.
In contrast to the abilities of Hagrid'southward fragmented wand, afterwards Hermione'south spell breaks Harry's wand in Godric's Hollow in 1997, Harry is able to simply mend it physically; or rather, despite the use of Reparo the use of minor spells are ineffective, and the attempts at major spells separate the wand again, until Harry was able to recover the Elder Wand from Lord Voldemort; this wand had the magical ability to completely repair Harry's original holly phoenix-feather wand. It seems Albus Dumbledore may accept repaired Hagrid'southward wand to some extent when he was in possession of the Elder Wand, possibly refraining from fully repairing it for fear of Hagrid's many wild extremities and some ineptitudes of complex spells.
- It could also be possible that Dumbledore fully repaired Hagrid's wand with the Elderberry Wand but Hagrid was not fully skilled plenty to perform some complex spells as he rarely used magic and Hagrid could take just used his umbrella to hide his wand because he was not allowed to perform magic. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 he used his wand to levitate the wedding tent.
In the motion-picture show adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Hagrid is the only one not raising a wand in the air after Dumbledore's death.
