Is That You, Hagrid?
Ask any Potterhead and they’ll tell you that Hagrid is one of the most lovable characters in the novels and the films. The most recognizable trait of the kind giant (besides being a giant) is his long, thick hair and beard. The person sitting behind this Hagrid-lookalike in the lecture hall must be a Potterhead, as they couldn’t help but make this comparison.
Harry Potter fans in the crowd must appreciate this allusion to the friendly giant. It’s all in good humor, of course, and this says nothing about the person with the wild curly hair, except that they have wild, curly hair. We’re not sure non-Harry Potter fans would recognize the hidden potential here, so it seems as if this person was in the right place, at the right time.
