hambtty :  JKR hinting that someone will become magical at a late age. I know most think that it will be 
Mrs. Figg but surely she would have discovered her magic, if any by 
now. I think it is Dudley. 
   
  
  Luckdragon:
  Jo has already dispelled this idea. 
  Is there more to Dudley than meets the eye?
  No. [Laughter]. What you see is what you get. I am happy to say that he is definitely a character without much back story. He is just Dudley. The next book, Half Blood Prince, is the least that you see of the Dursleys. You see them quite briefly. You see them a bit more in the final book, but you don’t get a lot of Dudley in book six—very few lines. I am sorry if there are Dudley fans out there, but I think you need to look at your priorities if it is Dudley that you are looking forward to.
   
  Crystal:
   
  I still think the whole Dudley thing discovering his magic is still true. Just because Dudley didn't have many lines doesn't mean he won't be the late age wizard. Look at Neville, he didn't start off with many lines and look at what story unfolded about him. Then there is Ms.Figg we didn't hear much about her except she was a horrible baby sitter for Harry and then in book 5 she ends up being in touch with Dumbledore and all this other stuff. So just because Dudley doesn't have many lines doesn't mean he won't be the late blooming wizard. I would love to see it be him since I think it would be quite comical. Thats just my opinion.
