I'm curious about his situation after Chamber of Secrets. I'm assuming that he never gets his wand back. Is it ever revealed that Hagrid didn't open the chambers? Also, is it only if you are expelled from school that you can never get your wand back, or can he never get his wand back as long as he's working for the school? For instance, is this a decision by higher powers that hagrid can never have a wand ever? Err, hard to explain what I mean, lol. Do you HAVE to finish school in order to keep your wand?

What insight can you give me?

Hagrid has a wand, because he uses it, disguised as an umbrella, to light a fire in the first book, when he goes to collect Harry from the holiday cottage that the Dursleys are hiding him in when they're trying to stop him going to Hogwarts. However, I seem to recall that he says at one point that he isn't supposed to do magic, and since he was expelled from school so early on, he presumably hasn't learned how to do all the spells that most wizards can do. I got the impression that he had a dodgy black-market kind of wand, LOL!



It can't be the case that you have to finish school to keep your wand, because Fred and George keep theirs, and they leave school before they've finished their final year in order to start their joke shop. So, perhaps it's only when you're actually *expelled* (ie, rather than if you leave of your own accord) that you're barred from doing magic.

Err well I think his wand is in the umbrella he carries around, i think he kept the pieces and put them in the umbrella yes? also it is revealed that Hagrid didn't open the chamber of secrets. it was Voldemort remember? because he was the heir of slytherin? and framed Hagrid because hagrid had been keeping aragog the giant spider as a pet. I think they destroy your wand if you get expelled because you have to turn 17 at the school maybe to qualify as a wizard?, and you're not allowed to do magic outside school, so if you never qualify there is no point having a wand and so they break it.
