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.
