- "Ripper just pines when I'm away"
- — Marjorie Dursley[src]
Ripper is a pet bulldog who is owned by Marjorie Dursley. The dog whines while Marjorie is away, resulting in her taking him if she goes away on trips (i.e. to visit her brother at Privet Drive).
The dog had at one time chased Harry Potter up a tree in the Dursley's yard after the boy had trodden on his paw. Harry was stuck there until Marjorie called him off after midnight. Marjorie also has the habit of sharing table scraps with him, such as licking the plate or licking Brandy off of her glass.
Behind the scenes
- In the American version, Harry treads on Ripper's tail, but in the British version he treads on his paw.
- Harry relives this memory during his Occlumency lessons, much to Proffesor Snape's ammusement.
