- Book 1, Pg 81 - (Harry) was looking at the other boys. Both of them
were thickset and looked extremely mean. Standing either side of the pale boy they
looked like bodyguards. "Oh, this is Crabbe and this is Goyle..."
"Oh, you're going to fight us, are you?" Malfoy sneered.
"Unless you get out now," said Harry, more bravely than he felt, because Crabbe
and Goyle were a lot bigger than him or Ron.
"But we don't feel like leaving, do we, boys? We've eaten all our food and you
still seem to have some."
...Crabbe and Malfoy backed away as Goyle swung Scabbers round and round, howling,
and when Scabbers finally flew off and hit the window, all three of them disappeared at once.
- Book 1, Pg 114 - There was of course nothing little about Crabbe and
Goyle, but as the High Table was full of teachers, neither of them could do more
than crack their knuckles and scowl.
"I'm (Harry's) second, who's yours?"
Malfoy looked at Crabbe and Goyle, sizing them up. "Crabbe," he said.
- Book 1, Pg 164 - ... the scuffles and yelps coming from the whirl of
fists that was Neville, Crabbe and Goyle. (Crabbe and Goyle put Neville out cold
and he has to go to the hospital wing)
- Book 2, Pg 75 - Malfoy had stopped right behind Colin, flanked, as he
always was at Hogwarts, by his large and thuggish cronies, Crabbe and Goyle.
- Book 2, Pg 76 - ...said Colin, whose entire body was about as thick as
Crabbe's neck.
Crabbe and Goyle were sniggering stupidly.
"Eat slugs, Malfoy," said Ron angrily. Crabbe stopped laughing and started rubbing
his conker-like knuckles in a menacing way.
- Book 2, Pg 157 - Crabbe and Goyle, who always did whatever Malfoy did,
had signed up to stay over the holidays too.
- Book 2, Pg 159-163 - "...it'll be best if you can get something of
Crabbe and Goyle's; they're Malfoy's best friends, he'll tell them anything..."
said Hermione... "I've filled these (chocolate cakes) with a simple Sleeping
Draught. All you have to do is make sure Crabbe and Goyle find them. You know how
greedy they are, they're bound to eat them..."
Stage one of the operation went just as smootly as Hermione had said. They lurked
in the deserted Entrance Hall after Christmas tea, waiting for Crabbe and Goyle,
who had remained alone at the Slytherin table, shoveling down 4th helpings of
trifle. Harry had perched the chocolate cakes on the end of the banisters. When
they spotted Crabbe and Goyle coming out of the Great Hall, Harry and Ron hid...
"How thick can you get?" Ron whispered... as Crabbe gleefully pointed out the cakes
to Goyle and grabbed them. Grinning stupidly, the stuffed the cakes whole into
their large mouths. For a moment, both of them chewed greedily, looks of triumph
on their faces. Then, without the smallest change of expression, they both keeled
over backwards onto the floor.
Polyjuice Potion colour: Crabbe's (turned) a dark, murky brown.
"Yeah," came the deep grunt of Crabbe from (Harry's) right.
Except that he looked pale and shocked, Ron was indistinguishable from Crabbe,
from the pudding-basin haircut to the long, gorilla arms... (Ron said) prodding
Crabbe's flat nose.
"Don't swing your arms like that, Crabbe holds them sort of stiff..."
- Book 2, Pg 166 - "What's the matter with you two?" Malfoy asked.
Far too late, Harry and Ron forced themselves to laugh, but Malfoy seemed
satisfied; perhaps Crabbe and Goyle were always slow on the uptake.
- Book 2, Pg 168 - they crashed up the steps into the dark Entrance Hall,
which was full of a muffled pounding coming from the cupboard where they'd locked
Crabbe and Goyle. Leaving their shoes outside the cupboard door...
- Book 3, Pg 63 - Crabbe and Goyle seemed to exist to do Malfoy's bidding.
They were both wide and muscly; Crabbe was the taller, with a pudding-basin
haircut and a very thick neck...
Crabbe and Goyle chuckled trollishly.
- Book 3, Pg 91 - "It was Malfoy's fault!" snapped Dean Thomas (to Pansy).
Crabbe and Goyle flexed their muscles threateningly.
A large group (of Slytherins) including Crabbe and Goyle were huddled together,
deep in conversation.
- Book 3, Pgs 194-195 - Lying in a crumpled heap on the ground were
Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle and Marcus Flint, the Slytherin team captain, all struggling
to remove themselves from long, black, hooded robes. McGonagall gives them all detention.
- Book 3, Pgs 206-207 - Harry throws mud at them from under the
Invisibility Cloak... Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle spun stupidly on the spot, staring
wildly around... Crabbe and Goyle were looking scared. Their bulging muscles were
no use against ghosts... Splatter! Crabbe and Goyle caught some this time. Goyle
hopped furiously on the spot, trying to rub it out of his small, dull eyes.
Crabbe blundered forwards, his long arms outstretched like a zombie. Harry dodged
around him, picked up a stick, and lobbed it at Crabbe's back. Harry doubled up
with silent laughter as Crabbe did a kind of pirouette in mid-air, trying to see
who had thrown it. As Ron was the only person Crabbe could see, it was Ron he
started towards, but Harry stuck out his leg. Crabbe stumbled - and his huge, flat
foot caught the hem of Harry's cloak...
Malfoy sees Harry's head, yells and runs away, Crabbe and Goyle follow him.
- Book 3, Pg 216 - Malfoy laughs at Hagrid crying over Buckbeak. Hermione
slaps him... Harry, Ron, Crabbe and Goyle stood flabergasted as Hermione raised
her hand again... Hermione pulled out her wand. Malfoy stepped backwards. Crabbe
and Goyle looked at him for instructions, thoroughly bewildered.
- Book 3, Pg 222 - (Harry) couldn't walk to class without Slytherins
sticking out their legs and trying to trip him up; Crabbe and Goyle kept popping
up wherever he went, and slouching away looking disappointed when they saw him
surrounded by people.
