"Are you a wizard, or what?"

The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is a conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.

The two^[1] children of Dudley Dursley and his wife were Muggles.^[2] They would occasionally be visited by their magical second cousins, the two sons and daughter of their father's cousin Harry Potter.

While they played with James, Albus, and Lily, the children's fathers, Harry and Dudley, would sit silently together as they were on "Christmas Card" terms^[3].

It is unknown if Dudley's children were male or female or if they were as fat or spoiled as Dudley was in his childhood. However, since Dudley reformed after the confrontation with the Dementors, as he saw himself as a spoilt brat, it is likely that he raised his children to become better person than he once was.

Behind the scenes

Rowling once considered having Dudley show up at Platform 9 3/4 with a magical child in the epilogue of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, but later changed her mind, stating that "any latent wizarding genes would never survive contact with Uncle Vernon’s DNA."^[2]
It is unknown whether Dudley's children know about magic. Harry Potter might have advised his children not to discuss magic around these Muggles and, if Dudley is anything like his father, he probably would never have mentioned the incidents where Harry used magic at 4 Privet Drive. Though, this can not be said for sure.
