Including details, like page #, book, and what the instance was would be very helpful. Also, if you know of any instances of Petunia looking past Dudley' s misbehavios as if it werent happening (specific instances) that would be great. Thanks!
What are some instances (in the Harry Potter books) of Dudley being spoiled, mean, or manipulative?
First 2/3 chapters of the first book. Also first 2 chapters of the fifth book (I think).
Reply:i think at the beginng of every book ,there are signs of his misbehavior toward harry but of course till book 7 that we learn that it was more of his parent effect and doing than his own,because then he shows a feeble sort of gratitude and fruendship toward harry.
Reply:i dont know any page numbers cause i dont have my book her but i'llgive it a go
in the first book, on his birthday he gets 37 presents which ws 1 less than last year so his mother said that they would buy him two presents at the zoo (he originally thaught that he got 36 puthis mother points out another one.)
In the second he makes fun of harry cause its harrys birthday
in the third he gets presents from aunt marge
in the fifth he threatens harry and and blames him for the dementor attack (not unreasonable becasue hary had his wand out, but still)
In the sixth dumbledore mentions how the dursleys didnt love harry and didnt treat him well but at least he escaped the mistreatment that dudley had (not really him being spiled, but a mention of it)
all of these are near the begining of the books near the 2nd 3rd or 4th chapter
Reply:Dudley was generally a spoiled, self-centered mama's boy right up until the beginning of Book 7. The one time I remember Petunia ignoring Dudley being bad was when he stole Harry's cake at the beginning of the first book. Granted, she was probably distracted by Hagrid at the time, but still . . .
Reply:Just read the parts of the first book where Harry is living with or visiting that family. You will find lots of examples.
