Professor Rubeus-Hagrid's-Pink Umbrella

Hagrid's Pink UmbrellaFrom the Story: Hagrid's Pink Umbrella at (Archived here) was an umbrella owned by Rubeus Hagrid in which he concealed the pieces of his broken wand, after he was expelled from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1943.
==History==
During his third year at Hogwarts, Hagrid was falsely accused by Tom Riddle to have released a monstrous creature on the school that killed a Muggle-born witch named Myrtle Warren. As a result of this, his wand was destroyed by the British Ministry of Magic. Although it was destroyed, Dumbledore allowed him to secretly keep the shards of his wand in the shaft of a pink umbrella as the shards still possessed a good portion of the wand's original power. However, since he never graduated, Hagrid's magic was never flawless; so even though he was able to use the pink umbrella as a wand substitute, he did not have the skill required for complex feats of magic. This caused him to rarely perform the spells that he wanted to.
==Uses==
*In 1991 and 1996, Hagrid used his umbrella to gain access to Diagon Alley.
===Examples of unsuccessful magic===
*On 31 July 1991, Hagrid lost his temper after Vernon Dursley insulted Albus Dumbledore, and tried to transfigure Dudley Dursley into a pig in retaliation, but instead just gave him a pig's tail sticking out of his backside. 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.
===Examples of successful magic===
*On 31 July 1991, Hagrid conjured fire in the fireplace at the Hut-on-the-Rock.
**Later in this day, Hagrid made the rowboat that him and Harry Potter were using to get back to the mainland go faster by tapping it twice on the side.
==Behind the scenes==
*J. K. Rowling has commented on Hagrid's wand wood: "Hagrid, for instance, has an oak wand though by this Celtic system he should have a wand made of elder; in Britain, the oak is ‘King of the Forest’ and symbolises strength, protection and fecundity; what other wood could ‘choose’ Hagrid?""Extra Stuff: Wands" from (via The Internet Archive)
*In , the pink umbrella was able to be obtained by the player in a limited time in 2021, but once the player got it, they can continue to use it as a wand.
