Summary

Alice and Martha won't be whistling "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" on this episode, but there's still plenty to laugh at in this discussion of Uncle Vernon in books 3 - 7. From his relationship to his sister to his inability to say the word "dementor" correctly, Vernon's character is nothing if not consistent throughout the series!
