At Hagrid's funeral, Harry was asked to speak about his former friend and professor. When it was Harry's turn, he slowly walked to up to the podium, tears already beginning to fall.
"Rubeus Hagrid was a great man. He was brave, loyal, a true friend, and if I may, a bit of a daredevil. I mean, you can't raise Blast Ended Skrewts, a family of Acromantulas, and a dragon and not have a bit of a death wish. But he loved each and every animal he ever cared for, just like he loved me.
Unconditionally.
I first met Hagrid on my eleventh birthday. He gave me my Hogwarts letter and told me I was a wizard. I also learned later in life, that it was he who brought be to live with my Muggle family. He took me away from what may have been certain death. When Voldemort cast the killing curse on me in the Final Battle, it was Hagrid who carried me back to the castle. He loved me even when he thought I was dead.
He taught me so many things that I will never forget. I will always remember the man with the pink umbrella and larger than life personality. Yes, Hagrid. I am a 'thumpin good' wizard, and you were too."
