Quote by J.K. Rowling
I've decided to call him Norbert,' said Hagrid, looking at the dragon with misty eyes. 'He really knows me now, watch. Norbert! Norbert! Where's Mummy?''He's lost his marbles,' Ron muttered in Harry's ear.'Hagrid,' said Harry loudly, 'give it a fortnight and Norbert's going to be as big as your house. Malfoy could go to Dumbledore at any moment.Hagrid bit his lip.'I- I know I can't jus' dump him, I can't.'Harry suddenly turned to Ron.'Charlie,' he said.'You're losing it too,' said Ron. 'I'm Ron, remember?
Summary
In this quote from J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone," Hagrid, with great affection, names the baby dragon Norbert and refers to it as if it were his own child. Hagrid's deep emotional connection to the dragon is revealed here when he calls out for "Mummy," indicating that he sees himself as the maternal figure to Norbert. Ron, however, humorously comments on Hagrid's apparent madness, suggesting that his attachment to the dragon is irrational. Harry, on the other hand, brings attention to the practical consequences of Hagrid's actions, warning him of potential problems if Norbert continues to grow.
