<<Hagrid: Brit slang. If you're hagrid, you're having a bad night. Since
Hagrid is a heavy drinker, he has a lot of bad nights.>>

You may be thinking of 'haggard' - appearing to be exhausted and
distraught, but there is also another word 'hagridden', which means
afflicted by nightmares or anxieties.

I've never heard the word hagrid used as slang, but I have a feeling it
may be common parlance in Scotland.
