- Harry Potter: "Why are you going to London?"
- Vernon Dursley: "Taking Dudley to the hospital. Got to have that ruddy tail removed before he goes to Smeltings."
- — Harry Potter and Vernon Dursley[src]
This Muggle private hospital, located in London, England, is where the Dursleys took their son Dudley to remove his tail after Rubeus Hagrid attempted to transform him into a pig, in September 1991.[1] The hospital had a very discreet staff, and the Dursleys explained the tail as a wart that had gone out of control.
Behind the scenes[]
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the Dursley family drive to the hospital because Dudley is feeling sick, but it was actually the after-effects of a Dementor attack, rather than driving to a false garden award, like in the book.
