- "Thirty-six. That's two less than last year!"
- — Dudley's tantrum on his eleventh birthday hinting about his previous tenth birthday.[src]
Dudley Dursley's tenth birthday was celebrated on 23 June 1990. He received 38 presents.[2]
History[]
On Dudley's tenth birthday, entertainment was unintentionally provided by Harry Potter when he accidentally stepped on Aunt Marje's bulldog, Ripper, therefore provoking the enraged mutt into chasing him out into the garden and up a tree. Dudley and his parents got a laugh out of this, until his Aunt Marge finally agreed to call her dog off sometime past midnight.[1]
