Dudley is known for his large size and bullying behavior, particularly towards his cousin, Harry Potter. He often gets whatever he wants, reflecting his parents' indulgent parenting style. Throughout the series, Dudley’s character evolves slightly. In the later books, he shows some signs of growth, particularly in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, where he acknowledges Harry's bravery.
