Wilhelmina Grubbly-Plank Replaces Hagrid for Care of Magical Creatures

PAGES: 435-437

Wilhelmina Grubbly-Plank replaces Hagrid as the Care of Magical Creatures teacher after Hagrid is absent from class. The students are shocked by the change, especially Harry, who tries to learn about Hagrid's condition but receives no answers. Draco Malfoy takes pleasure in Hagrid's absence and mocks him by revealing a defamatory article about Hagrid in the The Daily Prophet, which describes Hagrid's half-giant heritage and accuses him of endangering students.
