Harry Potter fans divided over what Dudley really says in iconic scene after seeing subtitles

Social media users are conflicted over a line said by Dudley in a notorious Harry Potter scene.

Prepare to 'siriusly' question your childhood:

You may think you can quote the film line-by-line, but there's one iconic scene from the first ever movie where you may have been getting it wrong.

The scene is the momentous moment viewers are properly introduced to Harry for the first time.

In typical Dudley fashion, he stomps down the stairs, jumping up and down to wake up Harry, who has been shoved in the closet under the staircase to be kept out of the way by his wicked aunt and uncle.

However, the subtitles read: "Wake up, cousin." Shocking stuff.

One fan simply refused to believe the subtitle is correct: "It's Potter. Ain't no way Dudley called him cousin... cousin would imply Dudley claims him as family not as his live-in whipping boy."

Others readily agreed, refusing to bow down to the subtitles.

"I hear Potter. I don't know why in the subtitle said cousin," one said, as another said: "I always thought it was potter too."

The original poster replying: "Right? Maybe whoever did the captions misheard?"

Some users disagreed and said they could clearly hear 'cousin' opposed to 'Potter'.

"It was always cousin," one said, while another pointed out: "It says cousin."

"It's cousin. If you particularly listen for the consonant in the second syllable, it's clearly a 'z' sound like cousin and not a 't' sound like Potter," one user argued.

Another said: "I find it difficult to believe Vernon would let the word 'Potter' be allowed to be spoken inside the house. Then again, movies, so..."

One TikToker threw a spanner in the works - but ultimately pleases both side of the argument - resolving: "I can hear both."
