TheHarry Potterbooksremain beloved additions to the fantasy genre, but not everything about them still holds up.

Certain characters and scenes feel outdated looking at the series from a more modern lens.

When it comes toHarry Pottercharacters, Hagrid is overwhelmingly one of the heroes.

However, he does make some pretty big mistakes over the course of the series.

One of his worst missteps isn’t even painted that way in theHarry Potterbooks and movies.

When Hagrid realizes the extent of Vernon’s interference, he gets incredibly angry with the Dursleys.

Harry Potter is a multimedia franchise about an orphaned boy who enrolls at Hogwarts School of Wizardry, where he learns the truth about himself, his family, and the terrible evil that haunts the magical world. Adapted from the novels, Harry Potter is an eight-episode film saga that follows the journey of Harry Potter and his friends, Hermoine Granger and Ron Weasley, as they navigate the tricky world of growing up, school life, and magic. Starting from year one and moving to their seventh year, the films chronicle the students' time at Hogwarts while unfurling a sinister plot that centers around the unsuspecting Harry. With the return of the dark wizard, Voldemort, the students and professors at Hogwarts will fight to carry on as the world around them may change forever. Harry Potter has expanded beyond the world of its films and novels with several video games, a spin-off film series titled Fantastic Beasts, and even attractions at Universal Studios.

This is why HBO’sHarry Potterremake should alter Hagrid’s initial encounter with the Dursleysto make him look less cruel.

Although Hagrid makes some pretty huge mistakes throughout the books and movies, most of them are well-intended.

AndHagrid doesn’t intentionally put anyone in harm’s waywhen it comes to Aragog or Norbert.

He merely loves these creatures, and he genuinely thinks they’re harmless.

Even bringing Grawp back to Hogwarts comes from a place of love.

Hagrid doesn’t want to see his half-brother suffer, and he believes he’ll be safer with him.

Of course, theHarry Potterreboot could get away with removing the pig’s tail altogether.
