För andra delen Det finns många kompetenta guider utanför Dumbledore som kan fixa sitt hus eller göra honom till en ny.

Hagrid hade nyligen kommit ur sitt hus - åtminstone i boken.

“Another flash, shouts, retaliatory jets of light, and Harry understood: Hagrid had emerged from his cabin and was trying to stop the Death Eaters escaping, and though every breath seemed to shred his lungs and the stitch in his chest was like fire, Harry sped up as an unbidden voice in his head said: not Hagrid … not Hagrid too …”

“But Snape parried the curse, knocking Harry backwards off his feet before he could complete it; Harry rolled over and scrambled back up again as the huge Death Eater behind him yelled, ‘Incendio!’; Harry heard an explosive bang and a dancing orange light spilled over all of them: Hagrid’s house was on fire.

‘Fang’s in there, yeh evil –!’ Hagrid bellowed.”

Han går tillbaka inuti efter att den har slagits på eld för att hämta Fang, och båda avlägsna elden oskadd.

“Hagrid,’ muttered Harry, still dazed, looking around. ‘HAGRID?’

He stumbled towards the burning house as an enormous figure emerged from out of the flames carrying Fang on his back. With a cry of thankfulness, Harry sank to his knees; he was shaking in every limb, his body ached all over and his breath came in painful stabs.

‘Yeh all righ’, Harry? Yeh all righ’? Speak ter me, Harry …”

Det bör noteras att i döden Eater som satt Hagrids hus i brand var Thorfinn Rowle, eftersom Harry nämnde när han såg Rowle att han var en av Death Eaters där när Dumbledore dog i boken , och han är den enda Death Eater som var beskriven som blond och väldigt stor.

Därefter stannade han förmodligen i Hogwarts, eventuellt i sin hytta.

Hagrid frivilliga att stanna på Hogwarts efter Dumbledores död.

“Well, I’m stayin’,’ said Hagrid, fat tears still leaking out of the corners of his eyes and trickling down into his tangled beard. ‘It’s me home, it’s bin me home since I was thirteen. An’ if there’s kids who wan’ me ter teach ’em, I’ll do it. But … I dunno … Hogwarts without Dumbledore …”

När han pratar med Harry, nämnde han om att ta hand om nyfödda unicorns, vilket innebär att han troligen behöll sitt gamla jobb.

“Professor Snape sent them into the Forbidden Forest, to do some work for the oaf, Hagrid.’

‘Hagrid’s not an oaf!’ said Hermione shrilly.

‘And Snape might’ve thought that was a punishment,’ said Harry, ‘but Ginny, Neville and Luna probably had a good laugh with Hagrid. The Forbidden Forest … they’ve faced plenty worse than the Forbidden Forest, big deal!”

Han lämnar vid en tidpunkt, men inte på grund av elden.

Hagrid släppte smärre anfall på en punkt. Arresteringen var på grund av Hogwarts, och på grund av något som hände i hans hus. Eftersom hans hus kallas separat från Hogwarts Castle, bor han förmodligen inte någonstans i byggnaden.
