Summary

Put on your Smeltings best and get ready to hum “Tiptoe Through the Tulips,” because it’s time to “shake ‘em off, shake ‘em off.” That’s right, we are here to talk about one of the most perfectly normal characters ever created — Vernon Dursley, Howard’s uncle. Stay tuned for Part 2: this episode focuses solely on Vernon’s arc in Sorcerer’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets. And try not to ruin any of our punchlines.
