3. In  the beginning of this chapter Hagrid introduces himself as Keeper of 
Keys and  Grounds at Hogwarts. At the end of the chapter he tells Harry 
that Dumbledore  let him stay in Hogwarts as **gamekeeper*3. In  the beginning 
of this chapter Hagrid introduc3.
If it is not a typo, could somebody explain to  me how *keeper of the keys 
and grounds* is the same thing as  *gamekeeper*If it is 



I don't think its a typo.
 
Let me see if I can articulate sensibly. He is Keeper of the Keys  (which 
in my mind equates to gatekeeper). But he is also Keeper of the  Grounds.  A 
groundskeeper maintains the property of an estate, university  ect . .in 
this case because the Hogwarts grounds encompasses a sizable  (forbidden) 
forest full of all kinds of animals he also cares for  the game.
