<P> Readers first discover why Hagrid was expelled from Hogwarts in the second novel . It is revealed that Hagrid was a student at Hogwarts at the same time as Tom Marvolo Riddle , the wizard who later became Lord Voldemort . Hagrid was expelled during his third year , after being caught in the company of Aragog , a dangerous acromantula : this already serious crime seemed worse than it was , due to the belief that the acromantula was `` The Monster of Slytherin '' , and that Hagrid had released it from the Chamber of Secrets and allowed it to attack students .

The belief of Hagrid 's guilt was encouraged by Tom Riddle , the actual criminal , who had been using the true monster ( a basilisk ) to attack students , and who had framed Hagrid to prevent the school from being closed , because he did n't want to return to the orphanage whence he had come .
