The Keeper of the Keys[1][2] was a title and an occupation held by the gatekeeper[3] of a wizarding school; often as an added role of responsibility by another member of the faculty.[2][4]

Duties[]

While apparently the Keeper of the Keys duties included looking after the school's many keys[4][2] and letting people in and out of the school grounds,[1] little more is known of the details or extents of these duties.

  3. In some of the official translations of the Harry Potter books, such as the Norwegian edition, the title of "Keeper of the Keys" is translated as "Gatekeeper", meaning that the two are synonymous from an in-universe perspective, even if the latter would not be applicable as an alternative name on the official title of Hagrid's position because of this wiki's focus on the books as written in the original language.
