From the very first pages of Harry Potter, Hagrid is full of mysteries — his size, his umbrella, his expulsion… but there’s one moment that has quietly confused readers for decades.

When Hagrid retrieves Harry from the Hut on the Rock, he claims he “flew” there. 

But… how?

In this video, we break down every possible way Hagrid could have reached the island, using only canon evidence from across all seven books. We examine flying motorbikes, broomsticks, Thestrals, magic carpets, Floo Powder, dragons, and even some of the wizarding world’s rarest magical creatures..

This is the one Hagrid question that never gets answered on the page… 

until now!

Special Thanks to @jakob_henkel for this video suggestion!
