Brave New Words@Sazid | Who is the most under appreciated Character in Harry Potter according to you and why?Click here to reply to @Sazid "For me, Hagrid is one of the lesser appreciated characters in the Harry Potter universe. He is one of the first people to genuinely care for Harry irrespective of his birthright or his prophetic existence. He is one of the kindest and most reliable characters in there. And his kindness and empathy goes beyond Harry or the other students. Being the official gamekeeper of Hogwarts, he cares for all the animals under his under his wings like Bugbeak and Aragog."2025-03-2602 min
