Carodave adds:

Many of the twins' products have a fairly short life-span (ex.1, eat 
a Canary Cream and molt within moments; and, ex.2, according to 
Hermione, the charm on Headless Hats doesn't last long).  Most 
probably the Ton Tongue Toffee is no different and Dudley's tongue 
would have returned to normal size in a short time, even without 
Arthur's assistance.  IMHO it was a prank meant to scare a bully and 
in the end no real harm would be done.

Carodave, who believes that the Twins are nice boys!
