Vincent Crabbe
From Free net encyclopedia
Vincent Crabbe, a fictional character in the Harry Potter books, is a student at Hogwarts and a member of Slytherin House. Crabbe, along with Gregory Goyle, are rarely seen without their ringleader Draco Malfoy.
Crabbe is large, enormously fat, has gorilla-like arms, and wears a pudding bowl-style haircut. He is very mean and very stupid, which makes him little more than a "follower" of Malfoy. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, he joined the Inquisitorial Squad.
It is falsely rumoured that Crabbe and Goyle may not be in the same year as Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy. In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, it is written that Draco joined his friends Crabbe and Goyle at the Slytherin table. However, the students are Sorted in alphabetical order by surname, and both Crabbe and Goyle are ahead of Malfoy in the alphabet.
He seems unable to make up his own mind or to see things his own way; he is generally told what to do. Nonetheless he is depicted as more intelligent than Goyle.
His and Goyle's personalities are sometimes questioned by some readers, as Slytherins are typically described as "cunning." However, both are likely power-hungry, or simply do not fit into the other houses as well as they fit into Slytherin. Both are extremely incompetent and failed their Defence Against the Dark Arts OWL.
His father, Crabbe Sr., is a Death Eater.
At the end of Half-Blood Prince, he and Goyle are left feeling lost, after their leader Malfoy took off with the Half-Blood Prince. In fanfiction, he is often paired with Millicent Bulstrode. A distant, and presumably more attractive, relative Irma Crabbe married into the House of Black and is the great-grandmother of Draco Malfoy.fr:Étudiants de Poudlard ja:ビンセント・クラッブ nl:Karel Kwast no:Vincent Krabbe sv:Vincent Crabbe tr:Vincent Crabbe zh:文森‧克拉
