Hagrid later regretted his loss of temper, but then claimed that he couldn't turn Dudley into a pig because he was already much like one, the tail being the last pig-like part of him. The shards of Hagrid's shattered wand were hidden in the shaft of this umbrella, which he then used as a wand substitute, albeit with limited skill, as thanks to the lies of Tom Riddle, he had never been allowed to graduate from Hogwarts. He confessed to Harry when they first met that the pieces of Hagrid's wand had been put into the umbrella he carries, and he demonstrated an ability to effectively start fires and give Dudley a pig's tail with the disguised pieces.

However, it's revealed in the Fantastic Beasts franchise that Newt suffered the same fate of expulsion, but his wand wasn't snapped like Hagrid's wand — why? This is an authentic and highly-detailed replica of the wand belonging to Hogwarts’ matron, Madam Pomfrey. The delicate umbrella also matched Hagrid's gentle personality, as he was comfortable expressing emotions and was a natural caregiver.

The issue of Hagrid's wand is further exacerbated by the fact that other characters were expelled from Hogwarts and were able to keep their wands despite this. This is confirmed in a companion book that sees a MACUSA document stating that Newt's expulsion never cleared. Not wanting this, Riddle secretly knew that Hagrid was illegally housing an acromantula and decided to frame him for the attacks.

Hogwarts staff, save for Dumbledore, believed Riddle's lies, and Hagrid was subsequently expelled and his wand snapped.It could also be possible that Dumbledore fully repaired Hagrid's wand with the Elder Wand but Hagrid was not fully skilled enough to perform some complex spells as he rarely used magic and Hagrid could have just used his umbrella to hide his wand because he was not allowed to perform magic. Dumbledore, at the time just the transfiguration teacher, fought to keep Hagrid on the grounds and had him trained as the groundskeeper. When Harry submerges himself in the memory of Tom Riddle's diary, it's revealed that Riddle was told by Hogwarts headmaster Armando Dippet that if the attacks from the Chamber of Secrets didn't stop, he'd have to close the school.

The only longer known wand is the prop replica of Lucius Malfoy's wand, which is 18" long, but whose length isn't officially stated in either the novels or the movies. While this is never explicitly stated in Harry Potter, one can guess that this played a factor as Hagrid's wand was snapped and Newt's wasn't.Like Harry, Hagrid didn't have the easiest life and often felt like an outsider, and one of the most noticeable difference between Hagrid and other wizards is his bizarre wand -- a delicate, pink umbrella. Later, in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Harry learned directly from Garrick Ollivander that his own snapped wand couldn't be mended.

Newt was in possession of a Jarvey while at Hogwarts, and the creature threatened the safety of the other students.

With all Harry's love for Hagrid, he would have pulled some strings to make sure his old friend could use his wand undisguised.Unlock exclusive access and special offers on your Harry Potter favourites and products from around the Wizarding World through the Harry Potter Fan Club. He was allowed to keep the pieces of the wand, which he concealed inside an umbrella as he wasn't allowed to do magic due to his expulsion. It's very possible, given the fact that Hagrid didn't want anyone to know about his giant blood, that Hagrid faced persecution from the Ministry and Hogwarts based on simply what he was.
