Vincent Crabbe

Vincent Crabbe is a student at Hogwarts and a member of Slytherin House. Crabbe, along with Gregory Goyle, are rarely seen without their ringleader Draco Malfoy. While Dolores Umbridge was Headmistress, he joined the Inquisitorial Squad.

Description
Crabbe is large, has gorilla-like arms, and wears a pudding bowl-style haircut. He is very mean and very stupid, which makes him little more than a "follower" of Malfoy.

Biography
Crabbe is a lot like Dudley Dursley, being fat, stupid, and a bully. He is entirely lacking in introspection or inquisitiveness: at one point, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger trick him and Goyle into eating cakes containing a sleeping draught — by leaving the cakes on a bannister. Crabbe seems unable to make up his own mind or to see things his own way; he is generally told what to do. Nonetheless he is depicted as more intelligent than Goyle and in the 1996 he seems to quarrel with Malfoy for the first time. He and Goyle are turned into girls via Polyjuice Potion in 1997.

His and Goyle's personalities are sometimes questioned by some readers, as Slytherins are typically described as "cunning", though the fact they were sorted into Slytherin may have to do with having a desire for power, which is often considered another Slytherin trait. It is also possible that they do not fit into the other houses as well as they fit into Slytherin.

His father, Crabbe Sr, is a Death Eater.

At the end of the 1996 - 1997 school year, he and Goyle are left feeling lonely, after their leader and friend Draco Malfoy leaves the school just before the end of the term.

Near the end of the Battle of Hogwarts, he, Goyle and Malfoy ambush Harry in the Room of Requirement. Though he is still stupid, it turns out that he has become a competent wizard, thanks to the coaching of the Death Eater Amycus Carrow. In the end, Crabbe is killed by Fiendfyre, a testament to his stupidity and foolishness. He conjured the Fiendfyre to kill the trio, but as he failed to learn how to stop it, it kills him before he can escape.
