Imagine a world where the magical gene didn't skip the Dursley bloodline. In this Harry Potter alternate history, we deconstruct the life of Dudley Dursley as the "Hufflepuff Tank," from his terrifying first year to the Battle of Hogwarts. When two Hogwarts letters arrive at Number 4 Privet Drive, the Dursley family reality is structurally annihilated. In this deep-dive lore exploration, we analyze how Dudley’s Blackthorn wand and his grounded Hufflepuff loyalty transform him from Harry’s bully into his most immovable protector. 0:00 — The Second Letter: A Dursley Disaster 02:27 — Year 1: The Sorting of a Pariah 06:38 — Year 2: The Blackthorn Bond & Brutal Failures 09:00 — Year 3: The Dementor’s Mirror & Primal Shame 11:59 — Year 4: The Shield Bash & Diggory’s Legacy 15:51 — Year 5: The Hufflepuff Tank & Combat Evolution 18:59 — Year 6: The Rigid Shield & Shared Trauma 21:55 — Year 7: The Badger’s Charge: The Siege of Privet Drive 26:05 — 19 Years Later: The Reconstruction of a Bloodline Subscribe to Epic Ifs for more immersive Wizarding World alternate history. #HarryPotter #WhatIf #DudleyDursley #WizardingWorld #hufflepuff
