Furious at the world that seemed suddenly to have turned on his father, Draco accepted full membership of the Death Eaters and agreed to perform the murder Voldemort ordered.
Among Voldemort's legion of followers, Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy hold great stature in the wizarding community of Harry Potter. As pure-blood fanatics, they believe they are superior to Muggle-borns (or 'Mudbloods', as they prefer to call them), half-bloods, half-breeds and blood traitors.
Save this question. Show activity on this post. In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Draco is uncomfortable being coerced into helping the Death Eaters enter Hogwarts. He was forced to do it because of his father's failure to retrieve the prophecy from the Ministry of Magic.
Rowling commented that "The moment Draco got what he thought he wanted, to become a Death Eater, and given a mission by Lord Voldemort, as he did in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, reality finally hit him" because his dream was "so very different".
Narcissa's greatest moment, however, was when she chose to betray Voldemort in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Not knowing whether Draco was alive or dead, Narcissa chose to lie to the Dark Lord rather than risk losing her son.
Draco Malfoy's mother Narcissa was cold, cunning and devoted to the Dark Lord. But she was also a mother, which meant she was willing to risk everything to make sure her son was safe. When Harry survived Voldemort's Killing Curse for the second time, Narcissa pretended he was dead so she could get to Draco.
The main reason is that Lucius failed to retrieve the prophecy from the Ministry of Magic, put that on top of all the other times Lucius failed, and it leads to him losing any clout he once carried within the Death Eaters.
Specifically, Draco was jealous of Harry. It was easy to miss because Draco didn't often show his emotions, modelling himself on his cold, confident, calculating father, but J.K. Rowling has confirmed that a lot of his enmity towards Harry stemmed from envy.
Draco's refusal to reveal Harry's identity to Bellatrix was not because he liked him. It was because he believed that Harry was the only chance they had at defeating Voldemort. At first, Draco admired and revered Voldemort until he threatened his family's safety.
That's not a joke, he actually doesn't work. Rowling shared on Pottermore, “Independently wealthy, without any need to work, Draco inhabits Malfoy Manor with his wife and son.” He lives off of inheritance money!, so the lucky man can dedicate his life to hobbies without the stress of making money.
Voldemort hugged Draco as an improvisation and it wasn't planned. Even Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) was caught unaware which increased the effect. In Harry Potter style, it was like a welcome for Draco, but as Voldemort had never known love, he didn't know how to hug him very well. Thats why they had the awkward hug.
Voldemort and Draco Malfoy awkwardly hugging in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2." Warner Bros. "Harry Potter" star Tom Felton spoke about filming a scene with Ralph Fiennes in the last film. In his memoir, Felton said that Fiennes improvised Voldemort awkwardly hugging Draco Malfoy.
Draco (/ˈdreɪkoʊ/; Greek: Δράκων, Drakōn; fl. c. 7th century BC), also called Drako or Drakon, was the first recorded legislator of Athens in Ancient Greece. He replaced the prevailing system of oral law and blood feud by the Draconian constitution, a written code to be enforced only by a court of law.
Bellatrix Lestrange (née Black) is the first female Death Eater introduced in the books. Aunt of Draco Malfoy and Nymphadora Tonks. She was introduced in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. She is the most faithful member of Voldemort's inner circle.
Close With: Antonin Dolohov
Similarly to Bellatrix Lestrange, Antonin Dolohov remained loyal to Voldemort after his initial downfall. He was one of Voldemort's longest followers.
Throughout the Harry Potter series, we are led to believe that Dumbledore is one of the only people Voldemort actually fears; and for good reason. Albus Dumbledore is a well known and very powerful wizard in the Harry Potter series.
Voldemort, seeking to punish Lucius Malfoy still further for the botched capture of Harry, demanded that Draco perform a task so difficult that he would almost certainly fail – and pay with his life. Draco was to murder Albus Dumbledore – how, Voldemort did not trouble to say.
Harry tried to use this spell himself. The first time was against Bellatrix after she had killed Sirius. His attempt was unsuccessful because, as Bellatrix mockingly explained: 'You need to really want to cause pain – to enjoy it – righteous anger won't hurt me for long…'
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
In this book, Rowling reveals that Bellatrix is the guardian of Helga Hufflepuff's cup (though she is unaware that it is a Horcrux), which Voldemort has entrusted the Lestranges to keep in their Gringotts vault.
In a recent interview, J.K. Rowling said that Draco had strong positive feelings for Hermoine, and would always have "lingering" feelings. However, due to his upbringing, he was unable to act on those feelings, and instead made fun of her, gaining some attention that way.
Draco Malfoy hated Muggle-borns and “blood traitors.” Draco Malfoy had a superiority/inferiority complex. He feels that he should be superior to Hermione, but she outperforms him academically.
While it may seem as though Draco simply has an outright hatred for Harry from the start, it goes deeper than that. He is, above all, jealous of Harry and a coward. Draco was brought up believing that he and his family are the best that the wizarding world has to offer.
Lucius Malfoy had a strong dislike of Albus Dumbledore. This is due to two reasons – Dumbledore believed in Muggle rights which contradicted Malfoy's pure blood beliefs. In addition, Lucius was a Death Eater, so he believed that Lord Voldemort was a much more powerful wizard than Dumbledore.
Isaacs brings up Lucius' disheveled appearance in Deathly Hallows, raising the possibility that the Malfoy patriarch had begun drinking too much. The way Isaacs saw it, Lucius was in a no-win situation. Given everything he'd done, the man no longer had a place on either side of the war.
While disguised as Moody, Crouch attacks Draco by turning him into a ferret. Initially, this comes across as a gesture of goodwill as “Moody” says he did it because Draco was going to curse Harry behind his back. This sort of small detail in Goblet of Fire hides the twist that Moody is Crouch in disguise.
