What year did Hagrid start working for Hogwarts??

I%26#039;m writing a story and would like to know if Hagrid was working at Hogwarts whilst Lily and James were there.


PLEASE HELP!!! MWhahahaha

What year did Hagrid start working for Hogwarts??
Hagrids birthday is 6-12-28 and he started Hogwarts in 1940 and was expelled in 1943, shortly after which he was given the position of gamekeeper.


James Potter was born on 27th March 1960 and Lily on 30 January 1960 they died on 31 October 1981. They were at Hogwarts between 1971 and 1978.





So, yes...Hagrid would have been working at Hogwarts while they were students!
Reply:Thanks for asking the question and for BA! Good luck with your story! Report It

Reply:Circumstantially, yes.





He was at school at the same time as Tom Riddle. Tom was there prior to Dumbledore%26#039;s beginning as headmaster. Dumbledore was headmaster when Lily and James were in school. Only thing I can%26#039;t say for sure is lag time between Hagrid%26#039;s expulsion and Dumbledore hiring him.
Reply:Yes he was.


because in the 2nd book u find out he was expelled when Tom Riddle opened the chamber of secrets (voldemort as a teenager at Hogwarts) and Dumbledore gave him a job then


tom riddle was there way before Lily And James!!





good luck
Reply:well he always says he remembers them, erm i think he may have been a student there before them and then there was the incident he got blamed for and dumbledore knew it wasn%26#039;t him so hired him. so maybe.
Reply:I believe he started working there the year he was expelled which I believe was his third year....I dont know if they were attending though...try asking the book section.
Reply:I am almost certain that Hagrid began working at Hogwarts in 1950.
Reply:No. He was a classmate of Tom Riddle%26#039;s classmate, was several years ahead of the Potters.
Reply:yes he was. he was gamekeeper after he got kicked out of school
