“Hagrid could not produce a Patronus. It's a very difficult spell. ”

The case culminated in the death of a girl, the Moaning Myrtle. Even though Tom himself was to blame for such a fatality, Hagrid was expelled and had his wand broken. Since Patronus is an advanced spell, Hagrid may not have studied long enough to learn it.
