Fantastic Beasts: 10 Potential Harry Potter Spinoffs We'd Rather See
8. Dudley Dursley
In one of the many interviews JK Rowling has given since completing the book series, she casually mentioned that she had considered including a scene at the end of the seventh book where Dudley Dursley is at Platform 9 3/4, sending his own magical offspring to Hogwarts. As though you can casually bring up such an awesome idea and expect Harry Potter fans not to run with it.
So I'm going to go ahead and accept this intriguing little plotlet as canon (yes, I know JK's stance is that any contact with Vernon Dursley's muggle blood would prevent any magical inclinations from taking root, but I won't hear it and I won't respond to it.) Because how adorable would it be to have a tiny little Dursley running around with magic?
It would give Dudley (who I for some reason imagine as a fiercely loyal father) a chance to right the wrongs of his childhood abuse of his cousin, and provides us with the comedic value of hearing the Dursley's reaction to having a magical grandchild. Potential downer: they couldn't actually show Vernon Dursley, because we no longer have Richard Griffiths with us and I refuse to allow re-casting.
