  grownup wizards have wands except criminals, as far as I can see.  The

  (it's possible that he'd have gone to Azkaban if he had been older).

  Me: 
  Right, all Hogwarts students have a wand, but they can't use it outside school. I think you have to be a fully trained wizard/witch to be allowed to use your wand in the real world.
  And Hagrid is not.
