Also keep in mind that Anakin Skywalker the minifig is just as tall as Qui-Gon,
Obi-Wan, and for that matter Darth Vader. Heck, so is Watto, the mini-fig.
I'll grant that these are both characters supposed to be smaller than normal,
but I'm not sure LEGO is going to do a special mold just for a Hagrid 'fig.
Then again, they did a mold for the Rock Monster, so who knows? As long as
Hagrid isn't a SPUD like that, or like Sebulba and that other SW podracer guy,
it won't be *too* bad...
Rampant Speculation: someone posted pics to Brickset.com of what appear to be
European 'Creator' sets, with larger 'figs - they appear to be 6 bricks tall and
appear to be slightly more normally proportioned than minifigs. A Hagrid built
on this mold would certainly tower over minifigs (by 2 bricks' height!) but
wouldn't really be much wider.
