Hagrid rescued Harry Potter when he was a baby and placed him in the care of his only living relatives, the Dursleys. Eleven years later, Hagrid returns to help Harry prepare for his journey to Hogwarts. Once there, this kind but fierce-looking giant still watches out for Harry as surely as he cares for all the magical creatures he loves. Especially Norbert, the baby dragon he hatched from an egg.

Accessories: Baby Norbert; Magic umbrella

Hagrid is part of the original Deluxe Creature Collection, released in conjunction with The Sorcerer's Stone, the first in the Harry Potter film series. What separates figures in the Deluxe Creature Collection from figures in the other basic series, the Wizard Collection, are two things: size and species. Deluxe Creature figures are much larger than Wizard Collection figures in terms of height, width, and depth. The cards they're mounted on and the bubbles are also much larger to accommodate their size. Wizard Collection figures- with the exception of the Gringotts Goblin, Griphook- are all human. Deluxe Creature collection figures fall in the mythical species genre consistent with most fantasy tales. Hagrid is a half-giant. The other two Deluxe Creature figures from The Sorcerer's Stone are Fluffy, a three-headed dog, and Mountain Troll, obviously self-titled.
