Re:   Hasbro, Inc. -- Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Reg. No. 333-46986)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     Pursuant to Rule 477 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), Hasbro, Inc. (the "Registrant") hereby requests
the withdrawal of its Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Reg. No. 333-46986),
together with all exhibits thereto, filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") on September 29, 2000 (the "Registration
Statement").

     Pursuant to the Registration Statement, the Registrant proposed to register
for resale by the holders thereof 500,000 shares of its common stock, par value
$.50 per share (the "Common Stock"), to be issued upon the exercise of a warrant
to purchase such shares of Common Stock (the "Warrant") held by the selling
shareholder (Warner Bros.) identified in the Registration Statement (the
"Holder"). Pursuant to a termination agreement, dated July 21, 2003, and prior
to any exercise of the Warrant, the Registrant repurchased the entire Warrant
from the Holder for cash. The Registrant seeks to withdraw the Registration
Statement because no shares of Common Stock were or will be issued to the Holder
under the Warrant, and consequently no shares of Common Stock were or will be
sold under the Registration Statement. The Registrant requests that an order
granting withdrawal of the Registration Statement be issued by the Commission as
promptly as possible.

     The Registrant also proposes in accordance with Rule 457(p) promulgated
under the Securities Act to apply the fee of $1,423.29 paid by the Registrant
to the Commission in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement
as an offset of all or a portion of the fee due for a subsequent registration
statement. If you have any questions regarding the foregoing application for
withdrawal, please contact Tarrant Sibley of Hasbro, Inc. at (401) 727-5591.



                                              Respectfully,


                                              HASBRO, INC.
