Character from harry-potter-chamber-of-secrets by
Harry's blustering Muggle uncle -- large, mustached, and apoplectic about anything abnormal. He installs bars on Harry's window and a cat flap on his door, treating his nephew like a dangerous animal.
Vernon has an important dinner party with a potential client, the Masons, and Harry's existence threatens to ruin it. When Dobby's hovering pudding disaster exposes Harry's connection to the magical world, Vernon installs bars on Harry's bedroom window, padlocks on Hedwig's cage, and a cat flap on the door for food trays. He is a bully -- loud when he has power, panicky when he doesn't. The Weasleys' flying car rescue enrages him, but he can't stop it, and watching Harry escape through the window with his trunk is the kind of loss of control that Vernon Dursley cannot process.
Large, beefy man with hardly any neck. Thick dark mustache, ruddy face. Small mean eyes. Always in a suit or weekend cardigan.
Also known as: Vernon, Mr Dursley, Uncle Vernon
