Ripper, Aunt Marge's old evil-tempered bulldog, starts tucked under her arm, growling at Harry and lapping tea noisily. His aggression peaks when he sinks teeth into Uncle Vernon's leg during Marge's visit, escalating the Dursley household chaos. He embodies the Dursleys' petty malice early in the story.
Description
Stocky old bulldog with a wrinkled, jowly face and evil-tempered glare. Short, powerful legs support his bulky frame, jaws strong and menacing. He moves with skidding barks, always poised to growl or snap.
