We've got a Draco/Harry thread, but no actual Draco Malfoy himself thread (as far as I know of), and I know for a fact that tons of people dote on this spoiled, arrogant and blood-discriminating but ultimately redeeming guy. Of course, you have your fair share of justified people who hate this kid, but that's not who this thread is for!
Possible topic discussions on thread: -WHY do you like Draco Malfoy? -Did you like Draco Malfoy before his "redemption"? -Who could his unnamed wife possibly be? (I am almost 99.9% sure it's not Pansy Parkinson!) Also, is his wife a pureblood? -If you could choose, who would you pair Draco Malfoy with? (I can assure you nobody will laugh at you for saying Hermione if that is your answer...because I feel that way. xD) -Favorite Draco Malfoy quotes? And of course, anything else Malfoy-related. :) |

That's one of the many things i like about him. the first time i read about him i immediately found him oustanding. his overconfident qualities, his genuine smirk, and of course a very 'Amazing Bouncing Ferret' |

Pansyful, do you think Draco is an "insecure bully?" I just read that on Wikipedia...it makes sense because bullies often are kind of self-hating while being narcissistic at the same time (kind of like dear Lord Voldy)...but if he is insecure...would that have anything to do with his father? Share your thoughts with me. xD
And I'm soo glad I've found another Draco Malfoy fan. :) Who, incidentally if I remember correctly also likes the idea of Bellatrix and Lord Voldemort? :) I LOVE any scene he's in almost...he's rarely seen w/o a smirk, sneer or a snigger...my three favorite S's! |

Yes he is somewhat of an insecure bully. i think he's the most pressured character in HP. with his father's high expectations, and him trying to be a pureblood-ist also the prophecy that he has to carry out.
most of the time i feel sorry for him, because he and his family are misunderstood especially him being the bully in school. He's far miserable than he pretends not to be. and he hates himself because of not being better than potter. he hates the fact that no matter what he says to harry he will never be good enough to that extent as the 'the boy who lived' and compliments to you phantasy x for creating a thread for the irresistable draco malfoy. and yes i share your love for the bella/voldy ship Updated Sep 23, 2007 at 12:32 AM by Pansyful |

Haha yes, I thought poor Draco Malfoy deserved a thead of shipping (although it seems we are the lone wolves...I'm quite surprised actually...isn't Malfoy one of the more likable but-you-shouldn't characters?)
What I love about Draco is his ability to hurt anyone with just a verbal taunt...he's really perceptive when it comes to knowing what will hurt people. What prophecy does he have to carry out Pansyful?? |

Don't worry i'm sure there'll still be lots more to come round and join us. just you wait ;) we'll be squeezing up in this thread sooner or later.
What I love about Draco is his ability to hurt anyone with just a verbal taunt...he's really perceptive when it comes to knowing what will hurt people. He's far more clever than anyone thinks. even though he's always complaining about stuff he's also keen on other's feelings and that way he understands what scares them. What prophecy does he have to carry out Pansyful?? You know the one in HBP, where he has to kill DD and make LV proud of him or at least make a position for him. I actually like the fact that he was finally working hard and exerting so much effort in HBP. i've never seen him so pressured and determined when he was always sneaking around hogwarts. he's actually very resourceful and even though there were times he didn't handle it the right way, he never seemed to give up. |

Hmm, I think prophecy was a misused word (because when I hear prophecy, I think of Harry's destiny to either kill or be killed)...I would call it an "seriously impossible task for a completely non-evil teenager", but I don't think they have one word that exemplifies all those words. =P Poor Draco...but you're right...all those grey shadows under his eyes were from lack of sleep from trying to succeed!
And he is resourceful...I mean, since he used those enchanted coins, wouldn't that imply he was able to do the Protean Charm, which Terry Boot noted in OotP was "NEWT-standard"? He possesses a lot of magical prowess he really deserves credit for! I've been wondering also whether it was he who put the Imperius Curse on Rosmerta in HBP...any speculations? |

A fellow Bella/Voldy shipper has now come to join the Draco thread! I too was rather surprised he doesnt have a thread yet.
I guess Im a newly formed Draco fan, after DH I just loved the entire Malfoy family and everything about them. I used to think he was annoying, but he really is so much more complex than he seems at first glance. I loved seeing him all nervous in HBP and DH, and felt that he really redeemed himself. |

hey guys I've come to join you too!I'm a Bella/Voldy fan as well!I'm quite surprised that Draco didn't have a thread until now!strange...
I started LOVING Draco after HBP book although I'm starting to wonder why I didn't like him before...and LOVING Lucius after OoTP movie...so now you could say I'm somewhat obsessed with the Malfoys and can't wait until HBP movie to see Narcissa and a lot more of Draco then we've seen in the other movies,he'll have more scenes seeing as how he's more important in the story right? too bad Lucius won't be there :( |

Yay TitaniaSnape Welcome! *holds up bella/voldy banner and then flips it to a draco banner* hey guys I've come to join you too!I'm a Bella/Voldy fan as well! Yay Joy Malfoy Welcome! *holds up bella/voldy banner and then flips it to a draco banner* Wow it seems like we're all uniting in this thread. who knows what other stuff we share in common *wink*wink* I'm glad that you all have decided to join the dimmed side. because as we all know the Malfoys are a truly spectacular and misunderstood family especially our precious Draco. I'm probably one of those loyal fans of the malfoys because of how they create this lovingly complex bond in their family. i believe they're actually one of those families who are tight but due to their "duties" and activities they fail to show more affection to each other. but in HBP you'll really feel the love Narcissa has for Draco. as for lucius, i think he was kind of I always thought that he is loyal to no one but himself and his closest family. it was made clear in DH. |

I was too! I mean, he's like that guilty-pleasure-but-I-like- him-anyway character (or he is for me anyways). I used to think he was annoying, but he really is so much more complex than he seems at first glance. So true Titania! (And wow, is everyone here also a Bellatrix/Voldemort fan? Awesome!) He seemed like an arrogant jerk, but when I reread the earlier books in the series, I actually rather enjoy his cruel, callous sense of humor to the trio because honestly, he's very witty (although he is often outwitted by Harry, which I suppose has to happen because Harry is the protagonist). I particularly loved this instance in PoA when he says, "Be good now Potty...Weasel King" (Or was it in OotP? Well, I think he says something similar in both of them...) Does anyone else think that Draco's relationship with Narcissa is interesting? |

So many of these Draco Malfoy threads come and go, and it's really upsetting. It'd be nice to see this thread break the record and last more than a month before being deleted. *sighs*
It's quiet obvious from my name and my icon that I'm a Draco fan, so that part speaks for itself. Draco's the most complex character, torn between his conscience and the pressure of the expectations burdening him. He turned out pretty darn well for a kid under that sorta pressure. *smiles* |

I friggin LOVE Draco Malfoy!
How is it that this thread was never made untill now. Hes like a quilty pleasure type of character for me too, like you know hes bad for you but you want him anyways. He has the same appeal as a motorcycle riding club promoter who drinks too much and has lots of scary tattoos. Hes got the bad boy thing going on but in a rich boy wizarding world way. Hes the type of guy every girl wants to save. I think alot of us think if we went to hogwarts we could recue him from himself, you know open up his good side and help him grow as a person and squash his self hatred and petty behaviour. I think if draco had at least ONE real friend who wasnt using him for status hed have made some better life choices. People need proper guidance and he didnt have that. I also think its interesting how you guys say hes very perceptive to peoples emotions, i belive that aswell. Hes very understanding and empathetic but he always tended to use thouse abilities to harm rather then to help. But it was still awsome haha. |

So there have been Draco Malfoy threads before? Well, I hope this one lasts, not only because I started it. xD
I personally think Draco is a bit of a momma's boy (although he occasionally resents that, I think), which I think is funny because of his character (the one he had before he was redeemed). bijouxmiu, your avvie is seriously funny and reminiscent of Pokemon! :) I agree, he is understanding of people's emotions, which is why he is so good at emotional manipulation because he knows what will hurt people or what will "trigger" them, although sometimes that will work against him and get him beat up. I think if Draco had at least ONE real friend Well, I think Crabbe and Goyle were attracted to Draco as a friend not because of his status but because they need someone to follow, although we know Crabbe grew weary of Draco's leadership in the seventh book and grew a mind of his own, which of course led to his own much-deserved death. I think Crabbe and Goyle were real friends, although Draco certainly treated them like they were beneath him (rightfully, I always thought...) After all, he was pretty shaken when Crabbe died, which seems to imply that they were close. For the proper guidance thing you mentioned bijoux, well, his parents cared about him (in particular his mother), although his father didn't have the best approach for him in parenting in the beginning by bullying him about his grades...they certainly spoil him though! |

Spoiling your kids is a bad thing to do it does alot of damage, it keeps them from maturing, gives them an inability to handle dissapointment and they dont develop a good work ethic.

This is very true, theyre not the type of people who are able to think for themselves. I wonder how they interact with Malfoy when its just the three of them, if they actually have a close friendship or if they really are just like Malfoy's bodyguards as we often see them. But Malfoy did seem genuinely sad and upset at Crabbe's death (I was sad too actually, I mean, he finally talks in the seventh book!) so he definitely cared. Malfoy was very spoiled, if he werent he may have turned out differently. Of course, it makes him an interesting/entaertaining character, but I think deep down he has a good heart but just doesnt really know how to use it. |

Crabbe dying really did seem to upset Draco, and I was surprised Draco's once-former-bodyguard-esque-friend developed a mind of his own! (Although we actually see Crabbe beginning to use his head in the 6th book when he disagrees with Draco over his role as a girl at times).
I wonder how they interact with Malfoy when its just the three of them, if they actually have a close friendship or if they really are just like Malfoy's bodyguards as we often see them. I also wonder about this! In the movies (which cannot be relied on, but I thought I'd point it out anyways), he treats them not as equals like Harry, Ron, and Hermione do to each other. Anytime we see the three of them interacting in the books, they never have speaking roles, but they do seem to find Draco's taunts/jokes about Harry highly amusing, so maybe they do have some semblance of a friendship going on, since Draco amuses them so much. Maybe Draco uses Crabbe and Goyle as his sound board to laugh whenever he says something particularly witty? Well, the Malfoys are filthy rich, so I think you'd be hard-pressed not to raise a spoiled child with so much wealth! Anyways, Narcissa dotes on him and I don't think she'd ever be able to say no to him. If Draco Malfoy weren't spoiled, he'd probably have a different character, although he'd definitely still promote that whole pureblood elitism thing that he's learned from his parents. |

I love Draco, not really sure why, other than the whole he's hot factor, of course ...I just think he is really fascinating. Growing up in that sort of environment,(by which i mean being taught hate, evil and darkness as a way of life), would have driven alot of people to madness but he comes out of it very strong, assured and determined, or at least he appears that way out the outside...ok, so his ethics are a little out of sync, but he is a very compelling character. I think it would have been so intresting if we could have seen under the outer layer... I've always wondered if maybe he wasn't as shallow as he can seem, if there was something deeper behind the icy eyes....Just imagine what could have been if J.K. had been drawn to Draco rather than Harry, just imagine the life we could have know so much about.....it makes you think, doesn't it?

Indeed. ok, so his ethics are a little out of sync, but he is a very compelling character. Well, that's exactly why I love this guy! I don't think JKR would have written the books from Draco's point of view because Draco agreed with Lord Voldemort's principles and the hero of the story has to be Voldy's nemesis. I hope she tells us who she marries in that encyclopedia... Hey everyone...in a non-canon perspective, who would you like to have seen Draco pair up with? Please tell me why! :D |

I think Draco's almost more interesting because he isnt the main character, more room for our own ideas and speculation.
Ive always been kind of intrigued by the Draco/Hermione ship personally, Id rather see them together than Hermione and Ron! |

Even thought I've foudn some people like to push Crabbe and Goyle away, I think that he must have had a level of friendship otherwise he would've gotten rid of them years ago! Glad to see a purely Draco thread up! He deserves it! You've got me following! |

Ah, too true! It's always the characters you don't know enough about that are the most interesting...:) Hence the room for shipping threads and FF. Yay, i found a thread about him. Yeah, it was about high time one was made. :) Titania, I've always enjoyed Hermione/Draco FF too (guilty pleasure much?) |
