Before he became the Gamekeeper at Hogwarts, before he was expelled for a crime he didn’t commit, Rubeus Hagrid was just a boy trying to find his place in a world that never seemed to have room for him.

When eleven-year-old Hagrid arrives at Hogwarts in 1940, he’s used to being different—towering over his classmates, he’s misunderstood, and constantly reminded that he doesn’t quite fit in. But as he navigates new friendships, magical creatures, and the mysteries of the castle, he finds unexpected allies. Together, they face the challenges of growing up in the shadow of a war that threatens both the wizarding and Muggle worlds.

But when tragedy strikes, and Hagrid is accused of unleashing a deadly monster within the school, his world begins to unravel. As whispers turn into accusations, and friends become strangers, Hagrid must decide: will he accept his fate, or will he fight for the truth—even if it means losing everything?

A powerful coming-of-age tale of resilience, friendship, and the courage to stand tall in the face of injustice, Loyal to the Last tells the story of one of Hogwarts’ most beloved figures in a way you’ve never experienced before.
