Amelia< Would Hagrid have taken an equivalancy exam.....>

Amelia, I don't imagine there would be any official alternatives for 
a magical education once you've been expelled from Hogwarts or one of 
it's alternatives.
 I think if there was Hagrid would, with Dumbledore's tutoring, be a 
fully qualified wizard by now and not need to be cartng around broken 
wand pieces in his pink umbrella.

 But a Quick-Spell course, that's a different possibility.
We've yet to see Hagrid 'Drink to much and set fire to his bed', as 
Draco slandered, but we've seen him doing some nifty engorgement 
charms etc. with that same pink brolly.

 Agreeing with bboy here, Dumbledore's probably kept Hagrid up to 
speed in an unofficial capacity, possibly forseeing that one day he'd 
be off on an OotP mission to the giants on Dumbledore's behalf.  

 Cheers, Lisa
