Harry Potter: What Happened To EVERY Major Survivor Of The Battle Of Hogwarts?
6. Rubeus Hagrid
Hagrid was captured by Voldemort and the death eaters during the battle and witnessed Harry get 'killed'. Plans for the series reportedly always envisioned Hagrid taking Harry out of the magical world that he brought him into all the way back in the Philosopher's Stone, in a sort of full-circle.
We then see him carrying Harry's corpse back to Hogwarts, where it is soon discovered that Harry isn't dead, allowing him to escape. This causes many Death Eaters to cut and run as they lose faith in Voldemort's abilities.
Hagrid was still working at Hogwarts in 2017, at the age of 89, due to his increased longevity in ageing compared to humans. He invited the young Albus to his hut in his first year, much like he did with Harry in his. Unfortunately however, Hagrid never married, despite his reciprocated attraction to Madame Maxime, as she was too sophisticated for them to be a good match. Poor Hagrid.
