This individual was a male giant who fought in the Battle of Hogwarts on 2 May 1998 for Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters.[1]

Biography[]

Giant wrapped by Devil's Snare

The giant being held down by roots on the ground of Hogwarts

When arriving at the battle he was violently grabbed by Devil's Snare in the grounds of Hogwarts, which held him down and tried to strangle him. However, he managed to break free and continued to fight in the battle. He was later killed during the battle, during the skirmish at the Entrance Hall.[1]

Behind the scenes[]

  • This giant is played by Gary Sayer in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.[2]
  • In the film he had a bit of hair, but in the video game he was completely bald.
  • In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7, he is seen standing in a courtyard in which he sees the trio. When he runs after them he collapses with the wall and falls to the ground. Some of the torches and a bit roof burries him. However he breaks free and is later seen close to the Wooden Bridge fighting Grawp. He is then killed by two suits of armour.
  • This giant's reddish skin and the small, horn-like protrusions over his eyes give him a resemblance to an Oni, and ogre-like creature from Japanese mythology.
