'''''Arabella Doreen Figg''''' is [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry Potter|Harry Potter]]'s neighbor, possibly living on Wisteria Walk, near the Dursley home on [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Privet Drive|Privet Drive]]. "Old Mrs. Figg" often is called on to watch Harry when the Dursleys are on some fun outing or other, such as [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Dudley Dursley|Dudley]]'s birthday parties. She is a classic old lady with too many cats.

Despite being a Squib, Arabella does seem to have more of a connection to the Wizarding World than one might expect; she uses phrases such as "no use crying over spilt potion" and "the cat's among the pixies" (as opposed to "milk" and "pigeons"), once her Wizarding connection has been revealed. [http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/en/extrastuff_view.cfm?id=19 The author has also said] that Arabella has a "roaring business" breeding cat-[[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Kneazle|Kneazle]] hybrids like [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Crookshanks|Crookshanks]]; it is possible Crookshanks came from Mrs. Figg originally, but that cannot be certain.

 

 

Mrs. Figg's major role is in the start of ''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'', where she witnesses and bears witness to the attack on Harry and Dudley by the Dementors. There has been some question raised as to whether she, being a Squib, could actually perceive Dementors; a major point against is, of course, the author's statement that she could not see them. However, against this we have to put the words of Mrs. Figg herself, in the first paragraph of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix/Chapter 2|chapter 2 of that book]]: before anyone else has said anything, Mrs. Figg says "Dementors! In Little Whinging!" Clearly, whether or not she can see the Dementors, she is aware of their presence and can identify them.
