Except Hagrid isn't really a Wizard. The Ministry of Magic destroyed his wand.

[–]nexuapex 59 points60 points ago

Harry isn't a wizard. He doesn't have his wand yet.

[–]albequirky 25 points26 points ago

Just because he isn't qualified to perform magic does not mean he isn't a wizard. Fuck the ministry.

Yeah, fuck the ministry. Wizarding World Anarchists unite.

[–]hotpiehotpiehotpie 21 points22 points ago

so losing/breaking your wand removes your wizardry? so in the 2nd book Ron stops being a wizard, and Harry stops being a wizard in the 7th book

your logic is flawless

[–]soundsofscience -1 points0 points ago

Following his expulsion from Hogwarts, the Ministry of Magic broke Hagrid’s oak wand and forbade him from performing magic.[18] Hagrid keeps the pieces of his wand in a pink umbrella, and performs small spells from time to time; however, he was technically forbidden to do magic until the third book, and since he is not a fully qualified wizard, he "will always be a bit inept" as compared to other adult wizards,[6] but "occasionally surprises everyone, himself included, by bringing off more impressive bits of magic".[19] He also has magical abilities that stem from his giant blood http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubeus_Hagrid

[–]EpicNade 1 point2 points ago

What he's saying is that Hagrid is a wizard because he has the CAPACITY to perform magic, not because he is licensed wizard.

[–]hotpiehotpiehotpie 0 points1 point ago

none of what you have said has defended lethargicwalrus's statement that:

Hagrid isn't really a Wizard.

I am well aware of everything you just said. I know that Hagrid isn't a qualified wizard, but he is still a wizard.

You copied and pasted a paragraph from wikipedia filled with useless facts

[–]SevenFingerStud 5 points6 points ago

Why are you guys fighting?

It's Harry Potter...

Harry Potter is serious business, just look at all the posts about Emma Watson every day.

[–]that_other_guy_jim 9 points10 points ago

Does that fact that Hagrid is not a wizard undermine the joke?

[–]brianbrianbrian 75 points76 points ago

How is Hagrid not a wizard? So he's part giant, big deal. Give him a wand, he can do fucking magic. Just because he didn't graduate doesn't mean shit either - it's Hogwarts, not medical school.

[–]Second_Foundationeer 29 points30 points ago

He is a wizard, just not a school trained or ministry authorized wizard.. I mean, you're either in the class of wizard, squib, or muggle, right? Or convict?

[–]skyman724 14 points15 points ago

Or slave, like Dobby.

Poor, poor Dobby. sobs

[–]BCP27 3 points4 points ago

No, only humans can be wizards, other creatures that can do magic are just other creatures where all of them have the ability to do magic.

Kinda racist in a species sort of a way.

[–]skyman724 4 points5 points ago

I'm sure humans can be slaves too.

(I mean in the context of HP; I AM NOT A RACIST)

[–]Krutonman 0 points1 point ago

You are a little if when you think of the word slave the first thing you think of is black people.

[–]BCP27 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, but they would still be a muggle, wizard, or squib. My point is that they reserve those classifications for humans only. Other magical creatures get the shaft, whether or not they are slaves.

[–]byakko 0 points1 point ago

Isn't Fleur part...that pixie-fairy thing her grandma was.

Merlin himself wasn't totally human either, if we follow his origin story.

Merlin's traditional biography casts him as a cambion: born of a mortal woman, sired by an incubus, the non-human wellspring from whom he inherits his supernatural powers and abilities

But modern wizards still revere him.

Granted whether or not Rowling wants to use that origin in Harry Potter's Merlin is up to her. Still, not much is said about his origin in the HP books beyond he was in Slytherin and he championed Muggle right's. If he supported Muggle-borns, it might be because it's unsaid that he himself is Muggle-born, just with amagical sire like an incubus in his real-life origin.

So yeah, the purebreds are racists, but the definition of 'wizard', following Merlin's example, seems to suggest all current wizards descended from a coupling of a normal human and some magical creature.

[–]skyloftknight 0 points1 point ago

Exactly. And Hagrid can still perform small spells with his umbrella. Like giving Dudley a pig's tail. He's not allowed to use magic, but he does it anyway.

[–]velmaspaghetti -1 points0 points ago

But the Ministry forbade him from practicing magic.

[–]ImActuallyLieing 13 points14 points ago

Didn't you see him turn that dick Dudley half-pig?

[–]velmaspaghetti 1 point2 points ago

He may have practiced magic, but I don't think he was legally considered a wizard. I guess it just depends on how you look at it.

[–]doug89 1 point2 points ago

If Hagrid isn't a wizard after 4 years of school then how can Harry be a wizard at 11?

[–]tykmerc 0 points1 point ago

It was 11 when Harry first learned he was a wizard.

[–]that_other_guy_jim -1 points0 points ago

He had two magical parents.

[–]doug89 1 point2 points ago

Hagrid had a magical father. Are you saying that he is more of a Wizard/Witch than a muggle-born?

[–]velmaspaghetti 0 points1 point ago

Because Harry is legally qualified to be a wizard, and Hagrid is not. I'm not saying I believe Hagrid really isn't a wizard. I'm just trying to play the devil's advocate, and try to justify why one might think Hagrid isn't a wizard.

[–]xtreme_box 7 points8 points ago

how is he not a wizard?

[–]UK_Reddit_User 4 points5 points ago

Well he isn't a qualified wizard and isn't strictly speaking allowed to use magic. Maybe that's what he meant

[–]nexuapex 21 points22 points ago

"Yer a wizard, Harry."

"What? No I'm—"

"Well, technercally speaking, you won't be a wizard until you turn 17 and pass your NEWTs and get the Trace taken off yer. But yer a wizard!"

[–]UK_Reddit_User 4 points5 points ago

OK good point, my rebuttal was not lexiconically consistent with the material at hand

[–]tehcharizard 1 point2 points ago

lexiconically

This is my new word of the day. I am going to struggle a lot to fit it in anywhere naturally.

[–]that_other_guy_jim 0 points1 point ago

He's forbidden from using magic because he was expelled from Hogwarts.

[–]AlanLolspan 2 points3 points ago

I wanted to point this out, but I didn't want to sound like a Melvin. Thanks for taking the bullet.

[–]lordeirias 0 points1 point ago

I wondered why he looked hurt. You'd think he'd do his big jolly laugh, slap Harry on the back, and beam at being called a wizard.

[–]onesteplower 0 points1 point ago

I don't have to be a wizard to ride a flying motorcycle?

This. Changes. Everything.

edit: I humbly apologize for cracking a joke in r/funny. I didn't realize that this is such serious business.

Almost won a game of munchkins tonight with hairy potter.

[–]ProfessorD2 -1 points0 points ago

This is definitely regional. I recently moved from the Boston area to the Seattle area and realized this (and other) pronunciation differences. Back home we say Harry with more like tarry (then again, that may be regional too. Hmmm), so Harry and hairy don't sound exactly the same. Close enough still for a chuckle.

In short, this joke works better in some places than others.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

Hagrid is not a wizard. He is half giant, half man. Get the facts straight, pal.

[–]TheDroopy 0 points1 point ago

Always relevant

[–]EOTWAWKI 0 points1 point ago

This only works in Canada and the US where the name "Harry" is pronounced "Hairy". In the rest of the English speaking countries "Harry" is pronounced to rhyme with "Marry".

When I first came to Canada I thought that "Hairy" was the kids nickname because coincidentally he did have very long hair.
