Harry Potter: 5 Things Book Draco Would Hate About Movie Draco (& 5 Things He Would Be Proud Of)

Would JK Rowling’s original Draco Malfoy enjoy and be proud of his movie version? Or would he find a lot to hate in the new character?

Just as in the novels, there are as many heroes in the Harry Potter movies as there are villains. One may argue that Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton) didn’t start out that way, seeing as he tried to form an alliance with Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) upon meeting him at school.

Over time, however, Draco would go on to do some terrible things. Even worse, he eventually becomes a Death Eater, just like his parents and some of his extended family. And although Draco was featured heavily onscreen, fans noted that movie Draco didn’t live up to book Draco in some ways.

10 Hate: Waiting Until They Reached Hogwarts To Talk To Harry For The First Time

It can be argued that Draco is much more confident about himself in the books, compared to the movies. For starters, he doesn’t wait until everyone reaches Hogwarts to talk to Harry in the book. Instead, he pays Harry and Ron a visit in their train car, along with his two cronies Crabbe (Jamie Waylett) and Goyle (Josh Herdman).

A fight also nearly broke out inside the compartment between the boys. In the movie, Draco introduces himself to Harry during an assembly for new students at Hogwarts.

9 Proud Of: Detecting Harry’s Presence Even When He Was Invisible

Draco may not be the smartest student at Hogwarts (that would, arguably, be Hermione). However, he is still capable of detecting if there was someone around him with an invisibility cloak. Case in point was the time when students were about to disembark from Hogwarts Express upon their arrival near the school.

As he prepares to exit, Draco senses Potter’s presence. Impressively, Draco manages to rough him up even if he couldn’t see anyone. Indeed, it was proof that Draco’s skills had improved over the years.

8 Hate: Whimpering Even If There Were No Visible Injuries From Buckbeak In The Movie

At some point in the Harry Potter movies, we meet the hippogriff named Buckbeak who takes a liking to Harry while detesting Draco in equal measure. It all started when Draco seemed to taunt the winged creature almost right after Harry had ridden him for the first time.

And as Buckbeak tried to protect himself from Draco, Draco ends up falling to the ground. In the movie, he whimpers even if there’s no appearance of an actual injury. In the book though, Draco had a good reason to panic as it described that there was “blood blossoming over his robes.”

7 Proud Of: Disarming Dumbledore Of The Elder Wand

Going over the onscreen portrayal of Draco over the years, it’s rather quite easy to underestimate him. After all, he easily backs away from a fight and he tends to whimper when he gets hurt. That said, one also can’t forget that Draco managed to summon enough courage to confront Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) in his office.

Before other Death Eaters could join him in the room, Draco also manages to disarm the Hogwarts headmaster. As such, he became the rightful new owner of Dumbledore’s elder wand, at least for a short time.

6 Hate: Not Standing Up To Goyle During Their Encounter Inside The Room Of Requirement

In the movie, Harry encounters Draco inside the Room of Requirement as he keeps looking for one of the last remaining Horcruxes. When the two wizards meet, we also quickly learn that Draco is accompanied by Goyle and Blaise Zabini (Louise Cordice).

In the movie, Harry asks Draco why he pretended not to recognize him when Harry was brought to Malfoy. Before he could answer though, Goyle mutters something inaudible to Draco that makes him stop. In the book, Draco was more assertive, even telling Goyle to stop trying to kill Harry.

5 Proud Of: Denying That He Recognized Harry In Malfoy Manor

When Harry, Ron, and Hermione are taken captive, they are delivered to Malfoy Manor. Cleverly, Harry was able to disguise his appearance by having his face altered just before the Malfoys could get a glimpse of him. That said, we’re pretty sure that Draco could still recognize his school rival.

Instead of confirming that they really had Harry, however, Draco decided to pretend that he was uncertain instead. In doing so, he most likely saved Harry from being slain by Voldemort before he could locate the remaining Horcruxes that needed to be destroyed.

4 Hate: Making An Embarrassment Of Himself At Quidditch

Sure, it’s worth noting that Draco managed to get into his house’s team. However, it was most likely due to his father’s generous contribution, instead of actual skill. In the movies, Draco isn’t depicted as a formidable quidditch player. In fact, when he and Harry pursue the snitch, he ends up falling to the ground and landing on his butt, much to his father’s dismay.

That said, it’s also worth noting that Draco is a good broom rider. Hence, he may just also need a little more practice to be able to improve his game.

3 Proud Of: Being Hesitant To Go With His Parents When It Was Thought That Harry Died

After Voldemort thinks he has finally killed Harry during a confrontation in the forest, the dark wizard gets Hagrid to carry Harry’s body as he orders his supporters to move towards the school. Once there, Voldemort doesn’t waste time informing everyone that Harry is dead and that everyone must join him or suffer the same fate.

Around this time, Draco’s mother, Narcissa (Helen McCrory), urges Draco to come over so that they could leave the scene. Initially, Draco wouldn’t move, appearing hesitant to join Voldemort’s cause.

2 Hate: He Was Killing Dumbledore Because He Only Feared For His Own Life

When Draco enters Dumbledore’s office to kill him, one can sense his hesitation to carry out Voldemort’s orders. But then, Draco confirms that he had no choice, telling Dumbledore that the evil wizard would kill him if he didn’t do it. In the book, however, Draco makes it clear that he wasn’t just concerned for himself.

“I haven’t got any options!” Draco tells Dumbledore shortly before his death. “I’ve got to do it! He’ll kill me! He’ll kill my whole family!” In response, Dumbledore tells him, “I appreciate the difficulty of your position.”

1 Proud Of: Settling Down, Starting A Family

Following the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry and the rest of his schoolmates go on to live in peace. 19 years later, we also learn that Harry, Hermione, and Ron already had children (Hermione and Ron got married). As for Draco, he himself settled down.

At the train station, where new students were preparing to board the Hogwarts express, we catch a glimpse of an older-looking Draco who was dropping off his son, along with his wife. We only see him momentarily, but he looks to be doing much better.
