Sea Change:
I thought that Hagrid's wand was exceptionally large and long, but
can't find the canon for it.  Would it fit in one of those flimsy
fold-up brollies?
 

Geoff:
He might have a golf umbrella....


Carol:
Considering that Hagrid's wand was broken fifty years before CoS,
which would be 1942-43, and he probably bought the umbrella to hide it
in as soon as possible (when he was still about thirteen), the little
fold-up umbrellas we have now wouldn't have been invented yet. I think
it's one of the old-fashioned kind that's about three feet long when
it's closed like a nineteenth-century English gentlemen's black
umbrella (or the ones the nannies carry in "Mary Poppins" only pink
and flowered. (I have no idea what a golf umbrella is.)

Carol, who seems to recall that the incident when Tom framed Rubeus
occurred in June and wonders how that could be possible
