What kind of motorcycle does hagrid ride

The motorcycle belonged to Sirius Black , who lent it to Rubeus Hagrid shortly after Lord Voldemort attacked and killed James and Lily Potter and attacked Harry Potter , saying he would not need it anymore. At first, Hagrid found this to be very odd as, according to him, Sirius "loved that motorbike", and before Sirius was shown to be innocent suspected it had something to do with his alleged betrayal of the Potters. Sixteen years later, when Alastor Moody leads a group of members of the Order of the Phoenix to Harry Potter from the house of his relatives shortly before his seventeenth birthday, Hagrid is chosen to drive Harry and his possessions to the home of Ted Tonks.

Arthur Weasley had helped Hagrid modify the bike with various buttons that could shoot out magically-produced traps from its exhaust pipe in case of a chase. This turns out to be useful, as Hagrid uses buttons to produce a large net, a solid brick wall, and dragon's fire, each expanding out of its exhaust pipe, to deter the Death Eaters. However, during the chase , the motorcycle was heavily damaged, made worse when Hagrid tries to use Reparo to fix it, breaking it more.

Hagrid has to dive off the motorcycle to keep the Death Eaters from taking Harry, and ultimately they arrive at the Tonks house. Weasley hides the motorcycle in his backyard shed in hopes of fixing it when Molly Weasley isn't looking. After the Second Wizarding War was over Mr.

Weasley repaired the motorcycle and later returned it to Harry. The Harry Potter Compendium Explore. Rowling Story. Forums Sandbox Recent Changes. The bike is a Triumph T Bonneville. Not only is that choice a source of British pride, the Triumph T Bonneville was one hot ride in its day. Both on the street and in motorsports this was the motorcycle to beat since it could hit mph, which was a big deal. He rides in the Watsonian sidecar in an attempt to escape an ambush as he leaves the house on Privet Drive.

That meant modifying it to look as if the bike and sidecar came straight from the s. Not only did Royal Enfield get all kinds of fantastic advertising from its screen time, it capitalized on that after the film released.

The bike made the rounds, including being put on display at the Liverpool Museum and Motorcycle Live Exhibition. More movie magic called for 7 motorcycles in total, including one modified specifically for the part of the chase sequence where Hagrid rides on the top of the tunnel and Harry hangs from the sidecar. The sidecar is said to have more breathing room in that regard, but anyone doubting should ask a ride attendant to test to see if they'll fit on one of the display motorbikes before hopping in line.

No one wants to wait in that long line for no reason! With extremely long wait times, it's totally understandable some patrons may want a family member "take one for the team" and wait out a majority of the line so the rest can enjoy the park and then jump in when they get closer.

In general, that's a move folks tend to frown on, and one that many who have already been standing in line for hours may get upset over. It's also a move that may be hard to actually accomplish, as patrons will have a hell of a time navigating the winding queue and moving past all those folks to find their friend or family member.

Unless they're near the start or towards the very end, it could be near impossible, and maybe still impossible if team members are watching the exits and turning line jumpers away. The solution? Buck up and hunker down with your family. New rides are always going to have a long wait, and that's especially true with Hagrid's Magical Motorbike Adventure.

Hogsmeade can get pretty crowded even on a day when there's not a large number of people in the park. So far time estimates for waiting in line for the new ride have been said to take up to 10 hours , and that's not including any weather delays due to the random spouts of rain Florida is known for.

Keeping an attraction like that running takes some real work , so Universal has started opening the ride midday to limit the number of unexpected delays and to help the process run a bit more smoothly than is has previously.

Just plan on spending the morning getting everything else out of the way, and maybe have someone keep an eye on the line to see when it opens if you're planning a trip!
