ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

This prospectus is part of an “automatic shelf” registration statement that we filed with the SEC as a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), using a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf registration process, we may from time to time sell an indeterminate amount of shares of our common stock described in this prospectus in one or more offerings.

This prospectus provides you with a general description of the common stock we may offer. Each time we sell common stock, we will provide one or more prospectus supplements that will contain specific information about the terms of the offering, including the specific amounts and prices of the shares of common stock offered. The prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. You should read both this prospectus and the accompanying prospectus supplement together with the additional information described under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on page 1 of this prospectus. Generally, the term “prospectus” refers to this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement together.

Provisions of Our Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws and Rhode Island Law That May Have Anti-Takeover Effects

The provisions of our restated articles of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws and Rhode Island Law summarized in the following paragraphs could have an impact on potential transactions involving a change in control of the Company or other extraordinary transaction. These provisions are intended to serve the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. They may, however, delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or other transaction that a shareholder might consider to be in his or her best interest.

Removal of Directors.

Our restated articles of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide that, except as required by law, a director may be removed only for cause by a vote of at least a majority in number of our entire Board of Directors or by a vote of at least a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the election of that director. If an Interested Person, as defined below, exists, our restated articles of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide that such removal must be approved by (1) at least a majority in number of our entire Board of Directors, including a majority of the Continuing Directors, as defined below, or (2) by the holders of at least 80% of the outstanding shares then entitled to vote on the election of that director, including the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares then entitled to vote on the election of that director that are not beneficially owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by any Interested Person.

No Action By Written Consent.

Our restated articles of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide that any action required or permitted to be taken by our shareholders may be effected only at an annual or special meeting of shareholders, or by the unanimous written consent of shareholders.

Advance Notice Requirements.

Shareholders wishing to nominate persons for election to our Board of Directors at an annual meeting or to propose any business to be considered by our shareholders at an annual meeting must comply with certain advance notice and other requirements set forth in our amended and restated bylaws.

Proxy Access.

Our amended and restated bylaws permit an eligible shareholder or group of shareholders to include up to a specified number of director nominees in our proxy materials for an annual meeting of shareholders. To be eligible, the shareholder (or group of up to twenty shareholders) must have continuously owned for at least three years 3% or more of the total voting power of our outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote in the election of directors. The maximum number of shareholder nominees permitted under the proxy access provisions of our bylaws is the greater of (x) two or (y) 20% of the number of our directors in office as of the last day on which notice of a nomination may be delivered or, if such amount is not a whole number, the closest whole number below 20%.

Special Meetings.

Pursuant to the Rhode Island Business Corporation Act, a special meeting of shareholders may be called by the Board of Directors or by any other person authorized to do so in a Rhode Island corporation’s articles of incorporation or bylaws. Our amended and restated bylaws provide that special meetings of shareholders may only be called by the Chairman of our Board of Directors, any Vice Chairman thereof, any Chief Operating Officer, our President or our Board of Directors.

7

Amendments to the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.

Certain provisions of the restated articles of incorporation (such as those providing for approvals of extraordinary transactions when an Interested Person exists and those governing the calling of shareholder meetings and action by shareholder written consent) require a vote of 66 2/3% of our outstanding shares to be amended (80% of the outstanding shares if an Interested Person exists).

The amended and restated bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed, and new bylaws may be adopted, by the Board of Directors without shareholder approval. The shareholders of the Company may adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws upon the vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares, provided that such vote must be approved by at least 80% of the outstanding shares if there is an Interested Person.

Business Combinations.

In order to approve a number of extraordinary corporate transactions, such as a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all assets, with an Interested Person, as defined below, our restated articles of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws require:

“Interested Person,” as used above, means:

This definition of an Interested Person is subject to certain exceptions as contained within our restated articles of incorporation.

The 80% vote will not be required and, in accordance with the Rhode Island Business Corporation Act, only a majority vote of shareholders will generally be required if this type of a transaction is approved by a majority of the entire Board of Directors, including the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the Continuing Directors.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

General

We may sell shares of our common stock:

The distribution of the common stock may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions: at a fixed price, or prices, which may be changed from time to time; at market prices prevailing at the time of sale; at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or at negotiated prices.

Each prospectus supplement will describe the method of distribution of the common stock and any applicable restrictions. The prospectus supplement for each series of common stock we sell will describe, to the extent required, information with respect to that offering, including:

Underwriters

If underwriters are used in the sale, we will execute an underwriting agreement with those underwriters relating to the shares of common stock that we will offer. The shares of common stock subject to the underwriting agreement will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and, unless otherwise set forth in any accompanying prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase these shares will be subject to conditions and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of these shares if any are purchased. Underwriters may be deemed to have received compensation from us in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions and may also receive commissions from the purchasers of these shares for whom they may act as agent. The underwriters may change from time to time any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.

The shares of common stock subject to the underwriting agreement may be resold by the underwriters from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. Underwriters may offer the common stock to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. The underwriters may purchase and sell the common stock in the open market.

9

These transactions may include overallotment and stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover syndicate short positions created in connection with the offering. The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid, which means that selling concessions allowed to syndicate members or other broker-dealers for the offered securities sold for their account may be reclaimed by the syndicate if the offered securities are repurchased by the syndicate in stabilizing or covering transactions. These activities may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the offered securities, which may be higher than the price that might otherwise prevail in the open market. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue these activities at any time.

Underwriters may sell the common stock to or through dealers. These dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agent. Any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

If we offer common stock in a subscription rights offering to our existing security holders, we may enter into a standby underwriting agreement with dealers, acting as standby underwriters. We may pay the standby underwriters a commitment fee for the securities they commit to purchase on a standby basis. If we do not enter into a standby underwriting agreement, we may retain a dealer-manager to manage a subscription rights offering for us.

Any underwriters, dealers or agents involved in selling our common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such underwriters, dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

Agents

We may also sell shares of the common stock through agents designated by us from time to time. We will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of the shares and will list commissions payable by us to these agents in the applicable prospectus supplement. These agents will be acting on a reasonable best efforts basis to solicit purchases for the period of its appointment, unless we state otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Direct Sales

We may sell any of the shares of common stock directly to purchasers. In this case, we will not engage underwriters or agents in the offer and sale of the applicable shares and we will describe the terms of any sales of these shares in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Delayed Delivery Contracts

If we so indicate in any accompanying prospectus supplement, we may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers from certain types of institutions to purchase common stock from us at the public offering price under delayed delivery contracts. These contracts would provide for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts would be subject only to those conditions described in the prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the commission payable for solicitation of those contracts.

Indemnification

We may indemnify underwriters, dealers, agents or remarketing firms who participate in the distribution of the shares of common stock against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and agree to contribute to payments which these underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make. Agents, dealers, underwriters and remarketing firms may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us in the ordinary course of their businesses. This includes commercial banking and investment banking transactions.

10

LEGAL MATTERS

Unless the applicable prospectus supplement indicates otherwise, Tarrant Sibley, Executive Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary of the Company, will provide opinions regarding the authorization and validity of the shares of our common stock offered hereby. Any underwriters will be advised about legal matters by their own counsel, which will be named in an accompanying prospectus supplement.

The foregoing statement is subject to the detailed provisions of 7-1.2-814 of the RIBCA.

Article X of the amended and restated bylaws of the Registrant provides that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors and officers to the full extent permitted by Section 7-1.2-814 of the RIBCA, as the same may be amended from time to time.

Section 7-1.2-202 of the RIBCA provides that articles of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director provided that the provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director:

II-1

No provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director will be effective with respect to causes of action arising prior to the inclusion of the provision in the articles of incorporation of the corporation.

Article Thirteenth of the Registrant’s restated articles of incorporation contains such a provision.

Section 7-1.2-814(i) of the RIBCA empowers a Rhode Island corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any individual who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or who, while a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise, or employee benefit plan, against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any corporate capacity or arising out of his or her status as a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against the liability under the provisions of such section. The Registrant has a directors and officers liability insurance policy.

The Registrant has entered into an indemnification agreement with each of its directors, whereby the Registrant has agreed to indemnify each such director for amounts which the director is legally obligated to pay, including judgments, settlements or fines, including certain related expenses to be advanced by the Registrant, due to any actual or alleged breach of duty, neglect, error, misstatement, misleading statement or other act or omission by a director in his capacity as a director. This indemnification excludes claims:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

(i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

II-3

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Company’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrants of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrants in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act.

Re:    Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-3

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is furnished to you in connection with Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 (the “Post-Effective Amendment”) to the registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-220331) (as amended by the Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 thereto, the “Registration Statement”) filed by Hasbro, Inc., a Rhode Island corporation (the “Company”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Post-Effective Amendment relates to the sale from time to time of an indeterminate number of shares of common stock, par value $0.50 per share, of the Company (the “Shares”).

I am the Executive Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary of the Company and have advised the Company in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement and the Post-Effective Amendment.

I have examined and relied upon signed copies of the Registration Statement and the Post-Effective Amendment as filed with the Commission, including the exhibits thereto. I, or attorneys under my supervision, have also examined and relied upon the Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended and in effect at all relevant times (the “Charter”), the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, as amended and in effect at all relevant times (the “Bylaws”), and minutes of meetings of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and such other documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments as I have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion. In addition, I have relied as to certain matters on information obtained from public officials and officers of the Company.

In my examination of the foregoing documents, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as copies, the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents and the legal capacity of all signatories to such documents.

I express no opinion herein as to the laws of any state or jurisdiction other than the state laws of the State of Rhode Island.

Hasbro, Inc.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, I am of the opinion that when (A) the Board has taken all necessary corporate action to approve the issuance and terms of the offering, and related matters, of the Shares in conformity with the Charter, as amended, and (B) certificates representing such Shares have been duly executed, countersigned, registered and delivered (or, if such Shares are uncertificated, proper book entry registration and issuance by the Company’s transfer agent and registrar has been completed), assuming that at the times of such issuances the Company has a sufficient number of authorized and unissued Shares available therefor, either (i) in accordance with the applicable definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement approved by the Board or a committee thereof upon payment of the consideration therefor (which consideration is not less than the par value of the Shares) provided for therein or (ii) upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any other security, in accordance with the terms of such security or the instrument governing such security providing for such conversion, exchange or exercise as approved by the Board, for the consideration approved by the Board or a committee thereof (which consideration is not less than the par value of the Shares), then such Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

Please note that I am opining only as to the matters expressly set forth herein, and no opinion should be inferred as to any other matters. This opinion is based upon currently existing statutes, rules, regulations and judicial decisions, and I disclaim any obligation to advise you of any change in any of these sources of law or subsequent legal or factual developments which might affect any matters or opinions set forth herein.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an exhibit to the Post-Effective Amendment and the Registration Statement in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act and to the use of my name therein and in the related prospectuses forming a part thereof under the caption “Legal Matters.” In giving such consent, I do not hereby admit that I am in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission.

It is understood that this opinion is to be used only in connection with the offer and sale of Shares while the Registration Statement is in effect.

Very truly yours,
