Dudley Dursley

Dudley Dursley, the cousin of Harry Potter, is depicted in the book series as a rather unpleasant and physically imposing character. He is described as large and broad, with a thick neck and a face that often turns an unattractive shade of puce when he is angry or upset. His hair is often mentioned as being close-cropped and blonde, which further accentuates his brutish appearance.

Throughout the series, Dudley’s physicality is contrasted with Harry’s lean and bespectacled frame, emphasizing the stark differences in both looks and personality of the two characters. Dudley’s unflattering appearance is reflective of his antagonistic role in Harry’s life, as he often bullies and mistreats his cousin. However, as the series progresses, there are moments that hint at a more complex character beneath his outward appearance.
