Hagrid was cleared of charges after COS, yet no canon reference to 
him getting a new wand from Ollivanders ... nor further talk of his 
umbrella, either. The main thing he carries with him is his crossbow 
or Fang.

He may have a wand already but wasn't able to use it among giants 
since they dispise magic. It would have turned them away instead of 
attrack them to DD.

A wand by itself is of little use without proper classes for using 
it. Hagrid was expelled well before he faced his OWLS, so never 
learnt to use a wand to his full potential. He leans more on his 
underestanding of Magical Creatures instead of duelling. 

Each book shows a new pet: Fluffy, Aragog, Buckbeak, Blast Ended 
Skrewts, Thestrals. Hagrid doesn't need any "silly wand waving" to 
stand tall in the WW.   ~aussie~
