Piers Polkiss is a Muggle and Dudley Dursley's best friend. Despite being scrawny with a face like a rat, he is a member of Dudley Dursley's gang, and is usually the one who holds people's arms behind their backs so Dudley can hit them. Piers did not like Harry Potter because Dudley did not, and he always followed Dudley's lead. Piers would also join Dudley at Smeltings.
