He is described as large blonde boy, whose parents have spoiled since birth, letting their child lack social courtesy or grace, and overeat until he was beyond morbidly obese. Throughout their childhood together, Dudley would take any opportunity he could to humiliate and torment his cousin, Harry. Unlike his cousin, however, Dudley has no powers outside of his brutishness. By the fifth book Dudley has become physically strong: he has taken an interest in boxing and seems skilled in it. A great bully, he leads a gang of 4 with whom he regularly beats up younger children such as Mark Evans on the flimsiest of excuses ("He was asking for it ... he cheeked me"). He is attacked by two dementors (sent by Umbridge) at the start of the fifth book. His hair in all the books is blond whilst his movie counterpart's hair is black (see image).
