15 hours ago · The story of Harry Potter 's Dudley Dursley goes beyond his last scene in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Dudley's parents, Vernon and Petunia Dursley, encouraged their son's mean-spirited attitude towards his cousin instead of trying to shape him into a better person. Dudley could have been like a brother to Harry, but instead he ...
Sep 8, 2017 · With so much money, it is easy for Harry to move out of the house where he is mistreated and live in comfort somewhere else. Even though he is still a boy, it should not be difficult for him to simply pay lots of money to one of his Gryffindor school-mates' parents to put him up at their house.
Dec 20, 2018 · Harry Potter manages to nearly have both: the loving and peaceful life he would have had with his parents is destroyed by Voldemort, which throws him into the malicious care of the Dursleys. When you look at it, the Dursleys are almost absurdly villainous.
In the reptile house, Harry pays close attention to a boa constrictor and is astonished when he is able to have a conversation with it. Noticing what Harry is doing, Piers calls over Mr. Dursley and Dudley, who pushes Harry aside to get a better look at the snake.

Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone opens with Albus Dumbledoreand Minerva McGonagall meeting up outside Number 4 Privet Drive. Once Rubeus Hagrid arrives, they leave Harry on the Dursleys' doorstep where he's to spend the next decade being tormented by his relatives. What the blockbuster doesn't show, however, is what happens beforehand. In the ...
As seen in the first movie, Dumbledore leaves a letter with the Dursleys when he places Harry on their doorstep. Of course, the film doesn't dive deeper into the contents of the latter. The books reveal that Dumbledore tells Harry's aunt that, because she possesses the same blood as her sister Lily, the Boy Who Lived will be protected as long as he...
In the film version of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, Dumbledore picks Harry up in person and finds him eating at a diner. However, in the books Dumbledore actually collects him from the Dursleys. That's a major change to the point where the Dursleys were actually completely cut from the movie, changing the pattern of the series to that po...
Hagrid's arrival to collect Harry for Hogwarts is an epic moment both on the page and on the big screen. When the Dursleys make the mistake of disrespecting magic, the Potters, and Dumbledore, Hagrid takes it upon himself to use a spell that gives Dudley a pig's tail. The Dursleys didn't know how to react to this and when they're seen again in the ...
Fred and George Weasley love a good prank. Unfortunately, fans of the movies never get to see the duo meet Dudley, who is one of the biggest bullies in the entire franchise. In the Goblet of Firebook, their paths cross when the twins accompany their father Arthur Weasley to fetch Harry from the Dursleys and bring him back to The Burrow for the Quid...
Dudley in the books is, for the most part, a large individual. He's got the same genetics as his father, which makes him considerably large. However, he's noticeably slimmer in the Order of the Phoenixmovie and the book of the same name explains this even if the film never mentions how this happened. While actor Harry Melling underwent a stunning t...
After Dudley is attacked by the guards of Azkaban, the Order of the Phoenixmovie moves on quickly. But the book shows there was quite a reaction to the incident, with many owls flying into their room. One is from the Ministry of Magic, which tells Harry he's been expelled, another is from Arthur, who warns him to stay put, and a third is from the M...
Fans never got to say a proper goodbye to the Dursleys on the screen. They make a brief cameo in the Deathly Hallows: Part 1before they're whisked away. They're forced to leave their family home after it's made clear to them that, should they stay, then Lord Voldemort will likely come by to pay them a visit. Each member of the family has an interes...
Aunt Petunia is brilliantly played by Fiona Shaw in the Potter movies but they failed Petunia. Shaw nailed the character being immensely difficult to read, something that's made clear in the source material. So, it's a shame that a scene Shaw shot with Daniel Radcliffe for the penultimate entry in the series didn't make it into the final cut. In th...
The main Dursley family deleted scene that fans wished had made it into the final cut was Dudley saying goodbye to Harry. This cut was likely made for time constraints but it would've been a welcome capper to a relationship that so pivotal to the early entries in the franchise when both Harry and Dudley were just children. In the Deathly Hallowsnov...
Harry Potter prepares to leave the Dursleys’ house for the last time. He thinks back on all of the memories (most of them negative) that he has had in this house for as long as he can...
