Novel without Infobox (auto list): many novel articles do not have an infobox - and need one (auto generated list) - may need expansion of article too Our Collaboration Department is continuing with one more title The_History_of_Tom_Jones,_a_Foundling for the current month. Get collaborating on the article and also look at nominating other titles to be considered. The new article Fictional locations now exists - as a companion article to Fictional characters - but it is still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. Another new article A Taste for Death (P.D. James novel)‎ now exists - but it is also still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. A new Infobox exists to support the growing number of "Short Story" articles that are tagged as part of the project - take a look at it and comment on it's talk page. I would suggest we use it for "Short Stories and "Novelettes" and leave the main "Book infobox" for "Novels" and "Novellas". New hitlists added to the main worklist.

[edit] Hagrid's house?

I don't remember any mention in the books of Hagrid being rumored to be Gryffindor. Sources? (Personally I suspect he's a Hufflepuff, but this is not, after all, Speculationpedia.) I've put it to "unknown" for now. Friday 16:52, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

Hagrid's house, acording to JKR is Gryffindor.

http://www.scholastic.com/harrypotter/author/transcript2.htm

or

http://www.quick-quote-quill.org/articles/2004/0304-wbd.htm

Nope, neither of those links actually state that Hagrid is in Gryffindor. --Deathphoenix 19:56, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

I am sorry for my insiting on Hagrid's house without proof but I can now give you the accurate house by means of this website;

Why is Hagrid in the catogory "Gyffindors"?

I saw the same. Mention of OTHER Gryffindors, yes. But no Hagrid. Friday 19:58, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Head of House?

When is Hagrid identified as being head of Gryffindor house? I'll remove that note unless someone can prove me wrong.--Lkjhgfdsa 22:13, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm deleting the box that shows him as head of house after McGonagall becomes Headmistress. If there's proof of this, let me know and we can replace it. --Lkjhgfdsa 20:53, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:3RR violation

This user has violated WP:3RR. I've reported it to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/3RR#User:68.45.172.185. This page has a lot of new instructions since the last time I went there, so if I've messed it up, please fix my report. Thanks, --Deathphoenix 20:12, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

User has now been blocked for twelve hours diff. Keep an eye out for a little while (in case the user changes IPs), but definitely keep an eye out in about twelve hours (I won't: I'll be asleep by then). --Deathphoenix 20:17, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

According to this link, Hagrid was in Gryffindor. Hermione1980 20:35, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

Much better. Thank you, folks. :-) --Deathphoenix 21:38, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Birthday

Where did 1928 come from? Enochlau 09:09, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Well, in CoS, set in 1992, Hagrid was a third year fifty years ago. Take away the 50 years from 1992 makes 1942. Hagrid was third year (13 years old) then, so subtract another 13 years to make 1929. I don't know where the other year came from, but perhaps like Hermione, his birthday is early and thus was 14 in the majority of third year ... To sum up,

                           CoS : 1992
  Hagrid at Hogwarts - 50 years: 1942
Hagrid 14 years old, - 14 years: 1928

Squidward2602 15:24, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Very interesting, thank you. Enochlau 23:25, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Found a better more official like timeline - [1] Squidward2602 17:59, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

To clarify: was in his third year 1942/43. First 1940/1. Had to be 11 before 1 Sept 1940 - therefore, Dec 1939. Born Dec 1928. He was NOT 13 at the time chamber opening, he was 14 (I - now - understand the reference to his being 13 above, but it set me entirely wrong at first). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Michaelsanders (talk • contribs) 23:05, 8 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Quote

The Hagrid quote in the article seems to have no context whatsoever. Could it be given some context or removed, please?

[edit] Missing info from Actor sentence

"Hagrid is played by Scottish actor Robbie Coltrane, and, in some shots where Hagrid's height needs to be emphasised."

This doesn't make sense, so I've commented out everything after Robie Coltrane. I suspect that something like the name of another actor is missing here. I've not been able to find what it is from a quick look at the history though. Thryduulf 21:57, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit

The last sentence of the intro was confusing: did the writer mean that he was first to be introduced to Harry before his coming to school, or before he became his teacher? If its the latter, Harry did not officially meet his teachers (save Quirrell in Stone, Lupin in Azkaban, the fake Moody in Goblet, Umbridge in Phoenix and Slughorn in Prince) until he got to school. I rewrote it with the first view in mind.--Aaronhumes 20:56, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hagrid's Pets section

The Hagrid's Pets section is long enough to be its own article. Shouldn't it be broken off? -Phi*n!x 14:57, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Titles

Are gamekeeper and keeper of keys actually different positions? We've got two succession boxes now, and it looks cluttered, and my impression was that Hagrid is referred to as one or the other during the series interchangeably, but not in a manner suggesting that he's been double-hatted or anything.
