Detailed explanation-2: -In due course, the egg begins to hatch, and Hagrid invites Harry, Ron and Hermione down to witness it. A baby Dragon emerges that Hagrid names Norbert. Unfortunately, Draco Malfoy, who is spying on them through Hagrid’s window, also sees it.

Detailed explanation-3: -Norbert is a Norwegian Ridgeback dragon that Hagrid had acquired as an egg from a mysterious, hooded stranger in the Hog’s Head, who turned out to be Professor Quirrell.

Detailed explanation-4: -As Hagrid lived in a wooden house, and baby dragons have the tendency to turn into much bigger dragons, this friendship didn’t last long, and Hagrid had to be convinced to let Norbert go, and the little fire-breathing tyke was carted off to Ron’s brother, Charlie.

Detailed explanation-5: -Hagrid is fond of wild creatures, and spends significant time in the Forbidden Forest investigating them. He also has a tendency to keep some of them as pets.
