Physical Description
A big beefy middle-aged British man with almost no neck, a very large bushy mustache, light skin, and a round face that flushes purple or beet red when angry before draining to ashen pale when frightened. He has short dark hair combed neatly, a substantial frame squeezed into conventional business wear including a dull boring tie and polished shiny black shoes, appearing as an ordinary but perpetually irritated suburban family man. A large, neckless man with a massive black bushy mustache dominating his florid face, small sharp eyes glinting with intensity. Purple skin stretches taut over throbbing temple veins, bulldog jowls bared in snarls. He wears casual clothes or a bow tie with dinner jacket, his hulking frame filling doorways with bellowing presence. Large, beefy middle-aged man with scarcely any neck, his head seeming to sit directly on massive shoulders. A bushy mustache overwhelms his small, often slitted eyes, while large fists turn purple in anger. Face flushes ugly puce, trousers occasionally ragged, exuding a roaring, spit-spraying presence.
Evolution
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Uncle Vernon Dursley kicks off the year in a purple-faced rage over Marge's letter, his tiny eyes gleaming demonically as he imprisons Harry in his room and bars the window after the owl invasion. He bears down like a bulldog during the Dobby-induced pudding disaster and later grabs Harry's ankle in futile fury over the Weasley's flying car rescue. Ever the Muggle antagonist, his explosive tempers frame Harry's summer torments, contrasting the magical world he despises.
