Gregory Goyle (born in 1980), typically referred to simply as
Goyle, is a fictional character in the
Harry Potter books. He is friends with
Draco Malfoy, generally following him around and
doing his bidding. He seems to lack all intelligence, magical
talent, and independent thought, and thus uses only his size and
strength to bully other students or scare off anyone who threatens
Malfoy. Malfoy has indicated that Goyle cannot
read.

Goyle is usually mentioned alongside Vincent Crabbe, who is his friend and fellow
lackey of Draco. Goyle is generally represented as the less
intelligent of the two. Goyle's father is a Death
Eater.

Goyle started his first year at Hogwarts School of
Witchcraft and Wizardry with Malfoy and Crabbe in 1991. In Harry Potter and
the Order of the Phoenix, he joined the Inquisitorial Squad.

At the end of Half-Blood Prince, he and Crabbe are
left feeling lost, after their leader/friend Malfoy took off with
the Half-Blood Prince. In
fanfiction,he is often paired with Millicent Bulstrode, or Pansy Parkinson.
