12/6/1928  · J.K. Rowling

December 6, 1928 is the birthday of Rubeus Hagrid — half-giant, Keeper of Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts, and the man who carried an infant Harry Potter from the ruins of Godric's Hollow on a flying motorcycle. Expelled in his third year and never permitted to use magic openly, Hagrid remains one of the most magically-hearted characters in the series.
