7 Harry Potter Characters Sorted Into The Wrong Hogwarts House

6. Rubeus Hagrid Should Be Hufflepuff

Though he was expelled after his third year, Hagrid spent those three years at Hogwarts in Gryffindor house. At first, it seems like the obvious answer for the gentle giant, who has bravery to spare, he would actually have been a better fit in Hufflepuff.

Hagrid is, first and foremost, extremely caring. He is kind to everyone, especially his friends and including his enemies, and treats them with the utmost respect and patience. Hagrid's kindness would make Helga Hufflepuff proud.

Additionally, Hagrid cares for all creatures, human and animal. He teaches Care of Magical Creatures in order to ensure that the students learn how best to care for them. He even looks after some magical creature friends in the Forbidden Forest, such as Aragog the spider and Grawp, his giant half brother.

If Newt Scamander, a fellow fan of magical creatures, is in Hufflepuff for that reason, Hagrid should be as well.
