About This Quote

Harry Potter was not one to take compliments well. Most people would be flattered at being described as beautiful, but Harry's reaction to the compliment of Dudley Dursley was one of disgust. His reaction suggests that he believes his appearance is repulsive — and this despite having won over more than a few girls with his looks. He also shows some cowardice, running away when Dudley tries to compliment him again — which, given Harry's apparent lack of success in actually attracting girls, might have been a terrible idea.
