Haggord / "You Dun It Nao Arry Porrer"

About

Haggord is a bastardized nickname given to the character Hagrid in images from the Harry Potter video game, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone for the PlayStation 1. The PS1's poorly-defined and rotund rendering of the character made it a target for image macros and reaction images e in the mid-2010s.

Origin

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was published by EA Games and released in the United States on November 15th, 2001.^[1] It was initially developed for the PlayStation, Microsoft Windows, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance and Mac OS X. The character Hagrid serves as the groundskeeper of the game's setting, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and occasionally sends the player, Harry Potter, on errands and missions (seen at 13:11 in the video below).

Spread

Images of PS1 Hagrid began circulating online as early as 2012, when a popular image macro paired a frame of Hagrid with an intentionally misspelled caption that reads "Haggord: You dun it nao Arry Porrer" (shown below). The origin of the image is unknown. The earliest known instance of the image's use was posted on July 9th, 2012 on GamePlanet Forums^[2] by user TheMango in a comment compiling funny pictures from the internet.

The image and PS1 Hagrid continued to have minor popularity in the coming years, sometimes appearing alongside variations of You're a Wizard, Harry!. ^[3] On June 15th, 2015, French Youtuber and Let's Player Benzaie uploaded his playthrough of Harry Potter A L'Ecole De Sorciers,^[4] and in the playthroughs introduction, photoshopped the Hagrid character to appear as a Blobfish, leading to comparisons between the animal and Hagrid.

PS1 Hagrid began to grow in popularity in late 2016 as a relatable character. On September 8th, 2016, WFS12 uploaded the "Arry Porrer" image to me_irl^[3] and received 3,265 points. In Autumn of 2016, Tumblr user Spazerbeam (account since deleted) posted an image of PS1 Hagrid captioned "Reblog if you agree."^[5] The image has gained nearly 72,000 notes as of January 16th, 2017. On December 4th, 2016, Twitter user @Glock_Lesnar^[6] tweeted the same image with the caption, "i feel like PS1 Hagrid all the time lately & i dont know how to fix it" (shown below). This became a popular image on me_irl and Instagram in the coming months.^[7]
