10 Things Movie Watchers Won't Know about Draco Malfoy - Harry Potter Explained

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing Draco Malfoy- bully, Slytherin, and heartthrob. Draco Malfoy was a british pure-blood wizard born in the year 1980, the son of Narcissa Malfoy and death eater Lucius Malfoy. Draco started at Hogwarts in the same year as Harry, Ron, and Hermione, and many of the other characters that we’re all so familiar with. Right off the bat, we sort of get a sense of the type of character that Draco Malfoy is going to be- a certain type of person that I’d imagine all of us have witnessed at some point or another. JK Rowling discusses this further: “Everybody recognises Draco because everybody has known somebody like him. Such people’s belief in their own superiority can be infuriating, laughable or intimidating, depending on the circumstances in which one meets them. Draco succeeds in provoking all of these feelings in Harry, Ron and Hermione at one point in time or another.” After the sorting ceremony, Draco is placed in to Slytherin house, and Harry is placed in to Gryffindor house. This is basically the beginning of the proper rivalry between Draco and Harry Potter. Throughout the books and films, Draco is a constant nuisance towards the trio, and as he grows older his behaviour turns from annoying, but still child-like and playful, to rather sinister. However, one thing I’d like to mention is that- unsurprisingly- the films left out certain actions and aspects of Draco’s character. But you can’t blame the film-makers for this- books are rich with information, and a film is trying to condense all of that information in to a reasonable time frame. I mean, I’d watch an 8 hour Harry Potter film- but I’m not sure it would have been too inviting to newcomers. With all of that said, the films still gave us a LOT of Draco’s character- but certainly not everything, and in today’s video I want to discuss 10 things that ONLY book readers will know about Harry’s nemesis. Without further ado, let’s get started. ...Watch the video for the list!
