Well, what about him? We only saw a little bit of him, but it seems like Hagrid was actually right about him. He was wearing a suit, he clearly understood the emotion of the funeral. He probably speaks english as well! I liked Grawp, ever since he took on all those centaurs. Do you think he'll show up in book seven?

Yeah Grawp did sorta seem somewhat normal didn't he...

i actually didn't like that he was so normal. how did he get that way so fast? i understand that there was the span of a year in there, but still. i'm not sure that we can really make accurate assumptions about him yet as we haven't seen much of him. i'm hoping he'll end up to be alot like hagrid though.

That did seem a little weird... I hope he's in the next book, but I doubt he will be. =(

well Hagrid's story about meeting with the giants seemed to imply that they could speak fairly well and were reasonably intelligent, so Grawp being almost normal isn't that far-fetched. Also, at least some giants must be well-behaved. How else do you explain the two half-giants in the book? Or maybe Hagrid's mother was just desperate...

lol, Obviously he has a role to play, though God knows what. JKR would harldy introduce a bit character this late in proceedings.

My strongest guess is that he goes back to the giants to persuade them to support the Order.

something just occurred to me... why did NO ONE NOTICE that there was a giant at dd's funeral? wasn't hagrid keeping him a secret?

by **Un'Anima Persa** » Thursday 21 July 2005 9:44:54pm

Wow, that is interesting... maybe, at the time, no one really cared what was happening because of the death. Or maybe grawp did learn english, and was allowed a stay at hogwarts or something, because it was what dd would have wanted...

There were also centaurs, mermen etc there, so I suspect people just took it in their stride thinking DD has a giant friend too.

I'm suprised the giant spiders didn't make it.

Or any more of Hagrid's menagerie!

by **dibble2** » Saturday 23 July 2005 6:06:08am

Well, it turned out the spiders weren't really that fond of Hagrid, didn't it? Yeah, I don't think anyone would think a giant at Dumbledore's funeral was odd. I mean, Dumbledore himself was so odd...

You would've thought LV would have turned up to pay his respects too...

by **thestral** » Saturday 23 July 2005 2:36:59pm

yeah, i imagine he was real broken up it... all those memories...

by **sirius_lives_forever** » Friday 29 July 2005 2:45:26am

I think that he will definately be in book 7, I think he will help Harry find the horcruxes, or he will people come with the Order when Harry actually fights VD.

Well, a character of that size must have some importance to the books, other than just another object ot fill up pages! I would hate jk for doing that.

I also hope that Grawp is in the next book.

he has learned a lot, and will hopefully progress farhter along learning english. Maybe he will even become fluent and go back to his himeland to see his mum... with JK, anything is possible
