Aunt Marge arrives at Privet Drive for a visit, her disdain for Harry matching her brother Vernon's, insulting his parents over brandy. Her bigotry against magic triggers Harry's accidental outburst, inflating her massively like a balloon until she floats helplessly. Rescued later, the incident forces the Dursleys to confront their precarious normalcy.

Description

Large and beefy with a purple-tinged face, sporting a mustache finer than her brother's. Tiny eyes peer out sharply, framed by ruddy cheeks. Tweed jacket strains over her ample build, enormous suitcase in one hand, old bulldog Ripper straining under the other arm. Presence domineering and evil-tempered, like a bulldozer in human form.
