Prof Response- Bigger than the Box: the Rubeus Hagrid Story

Prof Response- Bigger than the Box: the Rubeus Hagrid Story

In this Prof Responds episode of Critical Magic Theory, Professor Julian Wamble returns to the larger-than-life figure of Rubeus Hagrid, unpacking the rich, complicated responses listeners shared in the post-episode chat.

This episode explores the paradoxes that make Hagrid both beloved and deeply flawed—his tenderness and his trauma, his loyalty and his lack of boundaries, his fierce love for magical creatures and his failure to respect the sovereignty of others.
