They played a trick on them. His tongue got engorged and Arthur fixed
it. Not really nice, but quite a good practical joke from a wizarding
point of view. It is not sadistic, not criminal. Just a practical
joke. Ofcourse for a Muggle it will be hugely different. But I pointed
out already that I don't think wizards really get that. And in
Dudley's case, I don't think the Muggle argument is really that
important, because he perfectly well knew he was eating wizarding
candy. I don't like practical jokes, but I don't see the fuss.
