Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing the fan theory that Rubeus Hagrid was a DEATH EATER. Since the original release of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone in 1997, theories based on the wizarding world of Harry Potter have abounded. There are theories out there that Professor Severus Snape was a vampire and that Hermione and Harry were actually siblings. Some of these theories are more popular and widespread than others—such as the idea that Neville Longbottom was actually the Chosen One Professor Trelawney spoke of in her prophecy about the downfall of Lord Voldemort. There are also outlandish speculations that barely deserve any discussion. Today, however, I’ll be taking you through a fan theory that has gained some massive traction online—the idea that Rubeus Hagrid was in fact a Death Eater. The majority of this theory has been presented by a Reddit user by the name of Whoofph, who shared his theory on the sub-Reddit “FanTheories”. Upon first learning of this theory, I must admit—I was skeptical. How could the blundering, yet lovable half-giant, who rescued Harry from the Dursleys, secretly be a dark wizard in DIRECT conflict with those he was supposed to be allied with? But after reading it, I must admit, the theory is compelling and filled with some incredibly plausible evidence. It is worth noting, however, that the author of the theory has conceded that much of “the evidence” against Hagrid can likely be chalked up to plot holes, especially earlier on in the series—but it’s still fascinating to see how it all fits so well together to support the idea that Hagrid could have actually been a double agent, and follower of Lord Voldemort. As another fan pointed out, the idea that this could be true also provides a really interesting balance to Severus Snape being a double agent for Dumbledore. In any case, let’s take a look at some of the most valid points—at least in my opinion—that support the idea that Hagrid was a Death Eater from this popular fan theory… Learn more about your ad choices.
