Hagrid is the keeper of keys and grounds at Hogwarts School for witchcraft and wizardry. He is the mystical creature who  loves his pets including Fluffy, the giant three-headed dog, and Aragog, the giant talking spider.

Hagrid’s favorite mystical creatures are dragons, especially  Norbert (a Norwegian ridgeback) whom he had to let go because Professor Dumbledore, Hogwarts’ headmaster, wouldn’t let Norbert stay on the school grounds.

Hagrid helped Harry and his friends through some troublesome times throughout the series.

Kyle Forsburg and Brenda Larson started this class last year as a spin-off of Rae Temple’s original Wizard Workshop courses.

According to Ben Flick one project the students made during the week was mystical creature footprint t-shirts. “We also played Muggle Quidditch,” he said. It’s a ball game that includes freeze tag elements and is a popular competition in the Harry Potter series.

“This class is very fun and you get to do fun activities from making t-shirts to gnome throwing,” Colin Ohnmeiss replied. “These are both based on the creatures.”

Marlayna Wilhelm explained that she like this class “because you get to do many fun activities.”

Although the students did not go on any fieldtrips, they played games outside.

Ms. Temple said that this class is fun because “we bring Harry Potter to life. One of J. K. Rowling’s books is about mythical creatures, and I based the course on that.”
