Grawp is the half-brother of Hagrid in the Harry Potter books.

First introduced in book 5 - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Grawp is brought back from his mountain home by Hagrid, to live in the Forbidden Forest oustide Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Grawp and Hagrid were born of the same mother, although to different fathers - Hagrid's father was a human, whereas Grawp (also known as Grawpy to Hagrid) has two giant parents.

When he first appears in the Harry Potter books, Grawp is looked after by Hagrid, who keeps him in the Forbidden Forest, tied to several trees. However, after Hagrid leaves Hogwarts to continue his work for the Order of the Phoenix, he leaves Grawp in the care of Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley. Much to their surprise, when they find themselves trapped in the forest during a confontation with the local centaur population, Grawp remembers Hermione (as 'Hermy'), and manages to divert the Centaurs' attention from Harry and Hermione.
