Okay so here's the thing about Crabbe and Goyle getting into Slytherin. They are ambitious. They want to put their muscle to work under the biggest name they can. They know they're thicker than Percy's preferred cauldron's bottom, they know they're lot in life is gruntwork under someone elses plans. But they want to be under the biggest bully in the playground. Just look at book seven. 'We don't work for you no more Draco'. They weren't his friends... they were his lackey's. They put up with him because he had status. Then they got the chance to be under a bigger dog in Lord Voldemort and said 'Well yep. We'll take that.'. They are very ambitious and powerhungry, and value status highly. I can't really see them anywhere else.

@GreyPunkWolf Год назад

It literally is the only thing they value, too. Just like Neville is the textbook definition of a Griffindor, they literally represent what ambition above ALL else means.

@lahlybird895 Год назад

Yup

@MikeDCWeld Год назад

I think Dudley would have been essentially a blend of Malfoy and Crabbe/Goyle. A beautiful blend of ambition and muscle. The hard work he eventually learned to put into boxing was more a result of his inherent desire to be the baddest bully in town. Because it was a means to an end rather than a true value I don't think the Sorting Hat would have used it to justify putting him in Hufflepuff, even _if_ it could see that eventuality.

@dontmisunderstand6041 Год назад

Harry stopped being bitter about Vernon and Petunia's poor parenting when he found a real family that actually love him like family, learned he was mega-rich, and could do literal magic. That kind of dramatic shift in living situation also comes with a paradigm shift.

@hufflepom Год назад

Pre-video thoughts: I am thinking he would be a fellow Hufflepuff. He is loyal in a weird way. He is loyal to those he feels a connection to (his parents, friends/gang, and eventually Harry). His loyalty and trust of Harry (and thus his willingness to go with two strangers from The Order) shows that although he cannot give them the ole one two, he is doing what he can to help Harry.

@JasperPeters Год назад

I'd have to disagree on Neville being a good example of someone sorted based on value. I'd say Peter Petigrew is a good example of that. But Neville was very brave from the first book already. Standing up to his sorting bullies during the Quidditch match, as well as standing up to the trio for which he even receives house points because it takes even more bravery to face your friends than to face your enemies. In other words Neville was already brave, even if also scared and shy.

@user-yf4jx6te2b Год назад

Ten four. Not being scared is either foolishness or carelessness. Acting through fear's paralyzing grasp is bravery.

@aon02b Год назад

Let's not forget the fact that Snape was literally Neville's WORST FEAR. Being brave doesn't mean not having any fear. It means being brave enough to face those fears, which Neville did every single day!

@fransmith3255 Год назад

I agree. I think a lot of people misconstrue lack of bravery/weakness and lack of confidence. Neville had a severe lack of confidence, which shouldn't be confused with lack of bravery. The two are completely different. Some of the most unconfident people on earth are also the bravest. And visa versa - there are a lot of people who are confident, yet exceptionally wimpy. Confident people rarely need to practice bravery, whereas unconfident people practice it every day.

@IzraelGraves Год назад

You HAVE to be scared to be brave. There is no courage without fear.

@Ranger1812 Год назад

Neville's a good example because he specifically thought he wasn't right for Gryffindor and asked to be sorted into Hufflepuff.

@cliffwarden5934 Год назад

My guess after listening to the intro: Hufflepuff. Assuming he still hates magic he probably won't want to be in the magic bloodline focused Slytherin, he might have the potential for Gryffindor, but considering how he mellowed out towards harry near the end I think he might be a more accepting person than his upbringing initially allowed him to be, and Hufflepuff could help bring that out of him.

@MikeDCWeld Год назад

I'd like to hear your thoughts on how Petunia would have reacted if Dudley had turned out to be magical, especially since she didn't get to be. After all, it was her rejection after her younger sister was revealed to have the ability to do magic that turned her against the magical community in the first place.

@kellysouter4381 Год назад

Petunia would be very conflicted.

@JustMe- Год назад

It would take time for petunia to overcome it - because she has been feeling these negative feelings for years. However, her love for Dudley overpowers anything. So it could be like “well my Dudders is special wizard and not a freak like XYZ. He’s not like them.” Cognitive dissonance and love are powerful lol.

(In truth, before the reveal that she'd written to him to beg to go to Hogwarts, I figured the big secret between Petunia and Dumbledore was that Dudley was a wizard, but Dumbledore was suppressing it somehow at Petunia's request so Vernon wouldn't find out.)

Also Percy shows signs of being ambitious amd cunning but in the 7th book he shows what he truly values bravery and fighting for what's right

@robinbaylor2672 Год назад

There’s a short fanfic that I find really plausible about the Hat trying to sort Percy into Slytherin, and Percy having none of it because his family only considers Gryffindor acceptable. The story ends at the sorting itself, but I get the impression that if Percy had been a Slytherin he would have learned to be more aware of and resistant to Fudge trying to use him against his family.

Future what-if fiction: Adult Dudley is married, has 2 kids, Patrick & Violet. He & Harry aren't best buds, but do have a pleasant relationship. 🎄Ginny sifted through the day’s mail, opening each Christmas cards as she came to it. “Harry! Card from Dudley.” “Alert the media,” he muttered as he hung another string of lights. “There’s a note. For you.” She held out a folded bit of white paper. Harry took it, curious. Pushing his glasses up, he quickly scanned the note. “Petunia will flip if this is true,” Harry mused. Ginny read over his shoulder. The words seemed to have struggled to get onto the paper, stiff and hesitant. 📜 *Harry - Happy Christmas. How are you? I am fine. Hope you are, too. Remember when we were little and went to the zoo for my birthday? That snake got loose. And the time Aunt Marge visited and got sick and swelled up? Well, things like that are sort of happening here with my kids. Not as big a deal as when you were around. It was just a book that Patrick floated across the room. And Violet changed the color of her jumper. No big deal. But I got to wondering. Could you tell if someone might need to be at that school of yours? Maybe you could stop by and see? Thanks. Happy Christmas. DD* Ginny let out a long whistle. “Petunia for sure will flip. And the Headmistress! Dursleys at Hogwarts! Wow.”

And once he got older, he would only do what they wanted him to do if they payed him. He's also the leader of his gang, and he brags about his boxing achievements. To me, that shows ambition and resourcefulness. He's not kind or hard-working, and he's not loyal unless there's something in it for him.

Yeah there was some definite character assassination happening here In the scene where Harry asked if he beat up a 10 year old. Firstly Harry propose the question as a hypothetical "how old was your aponent, ten?" Clearly only asked to make fun of Dudley, just a random insult. But in the movie he says "beat up another 10 year old?" Implying that they sing Dudley is known for doing and have done it before. Then there's Dudley's reaction to this question in both mediums. "He was 16." Which indicates that not only was he not picking on a child but actually defeating an older person successfully, a clear point of pride and celebrating his accomplishment while simultaneously proving Harry's assessment incorrect. While in the movie he just says, "This one deserved it." One-hundred-percent confirming that Harry is correct. In the books we never actually gone 20 indication that he picked on any children other than Harry, other than Harry's assumptions, which could be faithless given that they don't spend much time together and Harry may not be a reliable narrator in this case. But in the movie they all out confirm back what he's doing and that he's proud of it

His hardworking wouldn't land him immediately into hufflepuff. Draco is also incredibly hard working whether it's in class where he is second only to hermione, or in quidditch, or even his work for Voldemort. He took a cabinet that was completely useless and made it work perfectly. But both Dudley and Draco use their hard work to benefit themselves, so that they can boast about it. Not very Hufflepuff. And Draco himself comes around and saves Harry by not identifying him. The only reason Draco even shows up in the room of requirement is to get his wand back. The major difference is that Hufflepuff values hard work for the sake of honesty. Dudley does not.

@lahlybird895 Год назад

Fair But then again if he really behind all the boasting or is that hisparents? And as I mentioned he is really loyal in his own way. And well he may be a spoiled brat who cares about himself a lot he also values being a good person, because what he saw during the dementors attack where's all the pain he'd caused other people, which means that somewhere in the back of his mind that idea must be weighing on him somehow, and he did try to change as we saw in DH, and caring enough to change yourself for the better if a short indication of someone who cares about being a good person at heart.

Well, you can guess a lot. For example he was brutally bullied in his early school years. It's clear from the books and movies. His parents loved him and took care of him, yet he went through some horrible mental torment by the dementors, so he must have had some incredible painful memories. He surrounds himself by groups of friends and gains much more confidence after gaining physical strength and learning how to fight. He uses violence against others at school to assert dominance more in later books, but we see he is less and less abusive towards Harry and his parents at that same time. That shows he uses violence not to have fun, but to solve a problem. He uses less and less violence at home and more and more at school. This is typical behavior of people who were bullied, abused and decided to solve their problems by retaliating, by fighting bullies using strength of body and strength of numbers. His friends tend to like him and are willing to fight alongside him. His parents seem like useless in solving bullying problems at school, so he either didn't tell them or they didn't help. Also with solving his problem of being bullied, he had less need to vent his frustration on Harry or his parents and became much more balanced person.

The thing is, Peter did eventually show who he is, just before his death. He's always been a coward, but he wanted to BE brave. And at the end, he thought to repay a debt before following the orders of Voldemort. Peter was a terrible person, and I don't mean to excuse everything else he did throughout the series, but he was - in his own way, and only at the end - a brave soul. After all, bravery isn't about not being afraid. It's about being afraid, and facing that fear anyway. A man with no fear is not brave, he is simply a fool.

My head cannon for Dudley has always been that he’d try and rekindle his relationship with Harry after the events of deathly hollows and potentially had a magical child of his own maybe even meet a witch that he ends up marrying.

But looking at what Ben said here he might even fit into Hufflepuff just the characteristics sleep inside of him and maybe time away from his parents will actually bring those things out earlier.

@katholmes7112 Год назад

In the beginning though when the Founders chose traits that mattered, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Gryffindor each showed a bias to what was acceptable for their house. Helga said fine, I'll take the rest. Hard work and loyalty were not required. But her house students saw her loyalty to them so they showed loyalty to her and a willingness in her name to work hard. However, neither trait is required because Hufflepuff takes them all no matter what. She, and her house, doesn't make demands of what qualities the students should have. You can put his boxing into hard work, but even if he had no passions Hufflepuff would accept him where the other houses would say no.

I view Dudley having Slytherin traits but also Hufflepuff because during the deleted scenes of the half blood prince or order of the Phoenix. He actually apologized to harry for everything he did proving he may become a loyal friend to him or others after learning his mistakes. Which the sorting hat purposely places you in a house that challenges you the most.

The real question is: Would Dudley have been attacked by the basilisk?

@BasiliskenWrestlingFan Год назад

This Question leads me to another, even more interesting thought: What If Dudley and Harry both are Parselmouths but with Dudley being in Hufflepuff He in Fact is able to Help the Basilisk from the Chamber of Secrets to free itself from Voldemorts influence before Ginny is brought into the Chamber and becoming a friend, ally and loyal supporter of Harry and the good Side instead... Now I'm really curious and wonder if I'm the only one who Had that Idea before or If there are already Fanfictions with that plot...

@TeraunceFoaloke Год назад

Pre-video: In my crossover fanfiction where Dudley wrote himself into getting a letter (and almost dying), he ended up in Hufflepuff because, well, Lily and James still died, and for reasons, Harry was also presumed dead by all. Without Harry there as a reminder, Vernon and Petunia's rage faded, and they ended up telling Dudley stories of how his aunt and uncle bravely stood up to and stopped a super terrorist at the cost of their lives. This ended up with Dudley ambitiously wanting to become a policeman and protect others to honor them, even if he was going about it through underhanded means. The sorting hat saw his equal fitness for Gryffindor and Slytherin and took the third, valid option of Hufflepuff for his loyalty to his aunt and uncle's ideal. Edit: Fixed my brain jumping the tracks and doing the timewarp.

@petrmaly9087 Год назад

I said it before and I will say it again - all the 3 Dursleys belong to Hufflepuff. Their main character trait is loyalty (to the family and to their social class. Vernon is a hard working man who only takes pride in it, in his achievements that secure his family can keep living as they do. No pub, no hobbies outside the house, he spends his life with the family. Even though he has good social skills, apparently, as his job requires them and he is good at it. Petunia is a housewife who loves her husband and son above all. Their ambitions are nothing more than keeping their place in the society, being seen as the perfect, ideal family of their lower-middle class. They do have some bravery and some ambition, but only when it comes to the safety and security of the family. It comes from loyalty. Dudley... He mostly lacks bravery and ambition, as his parents he lacks out-of-the-box thinking, but he has no problem finding and keeping friends and you can't be good at a sport if you don't work hard. So yes, Hufflepuff for all of them.

If Dudley was a Wizard maybe Petunia would be more caring with Harry as she's proud to have a wizard son and accepts Harry. She then tells Harry stories of Lily and Snape being friends so Harry goes to school thinking of Snape as one of his mothers best friends instead of his fathers Nemises.

@jenniferpajor5365 Год назад

I disagree. I don’t think Petunia was awful to Harry simply because he was magical. She felt upstaged by her little sister and she never wanted her son to feel like that. Even if Dudley were a wizard, she would still treat him much better than Harry for that reason.

That's the thing I don't think they can Eufy another channel Harry Potter folklore already did this a few years ago. So if they attempted they'll have to manage to avoid any lawsuits or something over copying a different channel much older idea. It's different from other popular theory that they taken and touch their own ideas on to that channel did a full 7-part series covering each book, making it more specific and personal to that creator, rather than a commonly-held fandom theory. Princeton a lot of people may have their own name is a vampire theory, it's more of a widely accepted theory that everybody just kind of knows about and lots of a personal theory, but not everyone has done a 7 video deep dive theory series on a specific and highly detailed theory like this, not like this video where they just do a common question that anybody could have asked and take have their own take on it but a full seven episode furious would involve a lot of complicated detail and three tracing

He is blond, hates exercise and bullies Harry whenever he can, including at school where Dudley has a gang that he gets to pick on his own cousin.” His unpleasant and spoiled child. Then again Dudley isn’t brave, he isn’t smart, he later became nice but he always wasn’t, and he wasn’t cunning (from what I’ve seen) okay maybe he was I don’t entirely remember right now.

@TaiaFlake Год назад

To support this theory: Crabbe and Goyle became very ambitious once Draco left. They valued his clever plans because they didn'thave their own and once the need for brains and cleverness were gone they didn't listen to him any more. Also Hermione isn't in Ravenclaw even though she is super smart and seems to value knowledge. She says in book 1 "books and cleverness? There are more important things." (Thats the movie quote) And Dudley is loyal to his friends and family. Which you can see as after the dementor attack he finally sees Harry as family which is when he starts his journey to kindness.

I think Dudley would be placed in Gryffindor or Slytherin, Both houses fit Dudley decently but overall Gryffindor because Slytherin values cunningness, ambition and resourcefulness while Gryffindor values bravery, chivalry and courage. Dudley may be cunning-ish but he fits the Gryffindor description WAY more. Being brave and courageous in boxing is basically what you need in order to even compete in the sport competitively, Which makes me think that Dudley would be in Gryffindor most likely.
