That same year, Aragog contracted an unknown illness over the summer, and despite Hagrid's attempts to heal and comfort Aragog by feeding him giant grubs, he eventually died on 20 April, 1997.
Hagrid may have shrunk Aragog's body for transport. Hagrid brought Aragog's body out of the Forbidden Forest: 'Never bin an area o' the Forest I couldn' go before!'
Aragog had a close friendship with his former owner, Hagrid. He admitted that it would have been his instinct to try to attack humans, but he restrained himself out of respect and gratitude for Hagrid, and unlike the Basilisk herself, he never personally harmed a human in his life.
Aragog, it turns out, isn't evil, or bad, just misunderstood, and while not exactly friendly towards Harry, Ron and Hermione, she does keep her children from eating them on sight. That's not nothing. Anyway, it turns out that when confronted by spiders in her only life,.
Hagrid got Aragog from Newt Scamander!!! Aragog, the Acromantula, explains how he came to be with Hagrid in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: "I came to Hagrid from a distant land, in the pockets of a traveler."
Hagrid's fellow student, Tom Riddle found out about Aragog. To cover up opening the Chamber of Secrets and unleashing a Basilisk, he framed Hagrid and Aragog instead, saying Aragog had killed the girl. He tried to apprehend Aragog, but he escaped into the Forbidden Forest due to Hagrid's intervention.
No, Newt Scamander is not Hagrid's father.
Myrtle's life was cut shockingly short when she was killed by the Basilisk at Tom Riddle's command.
The reason is a practical, biological one; spiders have multiple eyes (some up to 12 eyes), and no eyelids. Vision in so many directions, with no way to protect those eyes from the gaze of a creature that kills on sight.
Mosag was a female Acromantula, and the wife of Aragog. Sometime before 1993, Mosag gave birth to hundreds of baby acromantulas and co-founded the acromantula colony located in the Forbidden Forest near Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Hagrid was expelled during his third year, after being caught in the company of Aragog, a dangerous acromantula: this already serious crime seemed worse than it was, due to the belief that the acromantula was “The Monster of Slytherin”, and that Hagrid had released it from the Chamber of Secrets and allowed it to ...
Aragog reveres Hagrid as the one who reared him, found him a home and a wife, and protected him in his youth from those like Riddle who would kill him. He controls his brood basically through force of personality, but his control is fading as he ages.
For a moment Harry and Ron know that they are doomed, and then all of a sudden they hear a horn and see the Weasley's car rumbling over to them. Panicked, they open the door, shove in Fang and themselves, and flee the Forbidden Forest.
Or does he just appreciate Hagrid for looking after him? Yes, he doesn't let his children eat Hagrid (probably out of gratitude) but he's fine to let them eat Harry and Ron, even though they need to be alive to help Hagrid out.
Two reasons: Their leaders joined Voldemort each for his own reasons: Greyback because he promised him children and Golgomath because he received lavish gifts and felt closer to the brutal nature of Macnair and the other Death Eaters.
Yes, Hagrid is a half giant wizard; his father was Mr Hagrid, a human wizard, and his mother was Fridwulfa, a giantess.
No, Nagini is not a Basilisk. While Nagini, like the Basilisk, is a snake and responds to Parseltongue, she is not a Basilisk. While Nagini resembles a python in the movies and the books, in the Harry Potter prequel series, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, it is shown that Nagini is a woman with a blood curse.
For one, Hermione has not failed to solve the mystery that has proved so elusive to Harry and Ron; she sought knowledge in the library and found it in the form of the basilisk description she has balled into her hand.
For the same reason it didn't kill Harry: it was neutralized by the phoenix tears. “Destroys horcruxes on contact” isn't one of the properties of basilisk venom. Basilisk venom is simply one of the only substances toxic enough to do the job because horcruxes have tons of magical protections placed on them.
Myrtle is shown to have a crush on Harry throughout the series. In the Goblet of Fire film, the bathroom scene shows her acting sexually towards Harry. Myrtle was also the first person to be killed by Lord Voldemort.
Riddle ultimately changed his name, by way of an anagram, from "Tom Marvolo Riddle" to "I am Lord Voldemort", as a way of removing his own heritage and of exalting himself, and he killed the Riddle family, partly because they were Muggles, and partly because they abandoned him and his mother.
This theory suggests that each time he created a new Horcrux, that specific Horcrux diminished a part of his soul. Thus, his nose began to sink in, eventually disappearing altogether. Due to his tampering with dark magic, his human appearance evolved into a more snake-like state.
He's Luna Lovegood's grandfather-in-law
Newt's full name is Newton Artemis Fido Scamander.
