RedCaio RedCaio Thanks, that explained what I missed while binge-watching the movies for the first time. Lucius and his team of Death Eaters got beaten up by a pack of teenagers — a group which, by the way, includes Muggle-borns and blood traitors.
And coming in as an honourable mention: Lucius failed to get Harry expelled in Order of the Phoenix. And yet Harry gets off scot-free. Why exactly does Lucius bother with these connections?
I probably would have accepted this answer if I'd seen it first. Thanks for the recap! Mr Malfoy went even paler than usual, but his eyes were still slits of fury. Lucius Malfoy rounded on him. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google. Sign up using Facebook.

The prophecy was defeated in the ensuing war, and Lucius and his companions were imprisoned in Azkaban in Despite the fact that Voldemort freed them from prison in , he was angry with Lucius for his failure and regarded the Malfoys with contempt.
After Voldemort's final defeat, Lucius and his family defected at the conclusion of the Second Wizarding War and were thus pardoned for their crimes. Jason Isaacs, who portrayed the role of Lucius in the movie, has some thoughts on where his character's mind was during the series' final installment. Lucius, according to Isaacs, is trapped between two worlds. He also said that he was not involved in the Battle of Hogwarts with the Death Eaters nor did he abandon his wife and children.
Lucius used the ensuing terror as well as threats to attack their families if they didn't cooperate to influence the school's Board of Governors to discredit and vote to dismiss Albus Dumbledore as Headmaster for his poor running of the school. Lucius's plans were ultiately thwarted, however, when the Riddle in the diary decided to pursue his own goals, and rather than continue to petrify the Muggle-borns of the school, he set his eyes on the destruction of Harry Potter, the boy that Ginny told him would kill him in his future.
Ginny finally stopped trusting her diary and threw it away, but Riddle soon took control of her again, taking Ginny down into the Chamber of Secrets in hopes of luring Harry there. Harry followed to save Ginny, and killed the basilisk with Godric Gryffindor's sword and destroyed the diary with a basilisk fang, which though he didn't know it at the time also destroyed the piece of Voldemort's soul inside.
Harry proved Ginny's innocence and pointed an accusing finger at the true culprit — Lucius. Subsequently, and adding insult to injury, Harry also managed to trick Lucius into setting Dobby free by wrapping the diary in his own sock before handing it back to Lucius. Dobby then caught the sock after Lucius carelessly tossed it aside, thus, he was no longer forced into servitude of the Malfoy family.
Lucius attempting to curse Harry Potter in Upon being tricked into freeing his house-elf, Lucius attempted to attack Harry with his wand but Dobby disarmed him before he could do any harm, blasting his former master down a flight of steps. While his role in the opening of the Chamber of Secrets could not be successfully proven, Lucius was ultimately stripped of his title as a Hogwarts school governor for threats against his eleven other colleagues. Despite his sacking, he still maintained strong ties with the Ministry of Magic.
It was hinted that Lucius's target in this plan, along with harming Muggle-born students and Ginny, and discrediting Arthur Weasley and Albus Dumbledore, was to sabotage the Muggle Protection Act that Arthur Weasley had recently proposed, which Lucius, a believer in blood purity and the inferiority of Muggles , found offensive. Lucius's selfishness risked the endangerment of the diary, which, unbeknownst to him, was actually one of Lord Voldemort's Horcruxes.
During this year, Malfoy also bought the whole Slytherin Quidditch team Nimbus broomsticks , as Draco was made the team's Seeker. Lucius took the case to court and insisted that the hippogriff be put to death. Buckbeak's owner, gamekeeper Rubeus Hagrid , desperately tried to defend him, with the assistance of Hermione Granger , arguing that Buckbeak had been provoked by Draco and had attacked in self-defence.
Despite his actions, Malfoy still won the case and Buckbeak was sentenced to death. However, before Ministry executioner Walden Macnair could carry out the execution, Buckbeak was saved by Harry Potter and Hermione Granger, and subsequently came to be owned by Sirius Black.
In the aftermath of the cup, Malfoy and some other former Death Eaters were involved in the torture and humiliation of the Muggle site manager of the stadium and his family, though was not known at that time to the public and officials. He fled when the Dark Mark was launched into the sky. When Lord Voldemort rose again in the summer of , Malfoy returned to him on his summons, claiming that he had done everything he could all along to find Voldemort and help him rise again.
Voldemort believed that Malfoy had not completely renounced his old ways, but mildly doubted his loyalty because Malfoy had fled the Dark Mark at the World Cup. Even though Harry witnessed Malfoy's declaration of loyalty to Voldemort, almost nobody in the Ministry believed him and Malfoy continued maintaining strong ties to very high places in the Ministry, most prominently in the form of financial support, as has been in the past.
In , after the trial of Harry Potter, Malfoy and Fudge encountered Harry, and it was implied that Malfoy was giving money to the Ministry. Malfoy appeared doing shady dealings with Cornelius Fudge in the Department of Mysteries just prior to Harry's trial.
Malfoy could possibly have been convincing Fudge not to clear Harry's name. Malfoy's frequent excursions to meet with Fudge were also used as excuses to place the Imperius Curse on Ministry officials such as Broderick Bode and Order of the Phoenix member Sturgis Podmore on Voldemort's orders.
These curses were placed in a bid to obtain Sybill Trelawney's first prophecy. However, these attempts were short-lived, as Bode failed to obtain the prophecy, therefore causing Voldemort to murder Bode, and Podmore was arrested for attempting to break into the Hall of Prophecies. After the failure of his previous attempts to obtain the prophecy, Voldemort successfully attempted to lure Harry to the Hall of Prophecies by planting a vision of his godfather being tortured in his mind.
Lucius battling the Order of the Phoenix. However, Harry and the five friends who accompanied him, all D. Lucius' mission to retrieve the prophecy ultimately failed when Neville Longbottom , under the influence of a Step Dance Curse from Antonin Dolohov , accidentally broke the prophecy.
Lucius was seen by a myriad of Ministry officials called by Albus Dumbledore to the scene; now with irrefutable evidence pointing to his identity as a Death Eater, Lucius was promptly sent to Azkaban prison, as was the rest of the Death Eater squad, the sole exception being Bellatrix Lestrange , who escaped with Voldemort. After the events in the Department of Mysteries, Voldemort mainly blamed Lucius for the failure, as Lucius was the commander of Voldemort's small task force.
Lucius Malfoy's failure at the Department of Mysteries combined with accidentally destroying part of Voldemort's soul with the diary of Tom Riddle resulted in his loss of any standing with the Dark Lord. Some believed that he was safer in Azkaban than being free. In the summer of , Lucius and all incarcerated Death Eaters escaped Azkaban prison with the help of Voldemort.
However, the Malfoys were no longer held in high regard by the Dark Lord, who commandeered their home as his base of operations. Voldemort openly mocked the family at a Death Eater meeting in the summer of , taking Lucius' wand and deriding their relation to werewolf Remus Lupin through Narcissa's niece Nymphadora Tonks.
Lucius had become little more than a servant. The Malfoys were desperate for a chance to be forgiven, and thus were excited when a group of Snatchers led by Fenrir Greyback brought Harry Potter and his friends to the Manor in the spring of Lucius pressed his reluctant and fearful son to identify Harry, and identified Ron Weasley as one of Arthur Weasley 's sons. He then argued with his sister-in-law about who would be the one to call Voldemort with their Dark Marks , but they held off when Bellatrix noticed Godric Gryffindor's Sword , which she had believed to be in her Gringotts vault , among their possessions.
Subsequently, Bellatrix tortured Hermione Granger for information about the sword with the Cruciatus Curse while the others were taken to the cellar downstairs. After Hermione lied about the sword being a copy and Griphook went along with her story, Bellatrix signalled Voldemort , but Dobby , the Malfoys' former house-elf , came to the rescue of the prisoners. Harry and Ron ran back upstairs, and the former stunned Lucius. After their escape , the Malfoys and Bellatrix were severely punished by Voldemort.
By the time of the Battle of Hogwarts , Lucius showed that he was more concerned with his son's safety than Voldemort's cause, begging to be permitted to find him when the fighting began. Narcissa lied directly to Voldemort for Harry's sake when he informed her that Draco was still alive, and she and Lucius ran through the crowd, "not even attempting to fight, screaming for their son".
Following Voldemort's defeat, Lucius, Narcissa and Draco sat in the Great Hall during the celebrations, looking unsure that they belonged there. Lucius and Draco's crimes were forgiven due to their abandonment of Voldemort and his cause and Narcissa's lie to the Dark Lord that saved Harry Potter 's life in the Forbidden Forest in the Battle of Hogwarts.
None of them served time in Azkaban. Lucius had a pale, pointed face, with pale blond hair and cold grey eyes. He often carried a walking stick with a snake head that contained his wand. His son Draco resembled him strongly. Despite being the embodiment of wealth and influence in the wizarding world, Lucius Malfoy was a ruthless bigot; he took great pride in his aristocratic stature, viewing himself as being racially superior to Muggles , Muggle-borns , and half-bloods.
He was also a shrewd, opportunistic social climber who was good at controlling others but behind his veneer of respectability, he treated people cruelly. He callously utilised eleven-year old Ginerva Weasley in an attempt to both discredit her father in the Ministry, and remove Albus Dumbledore from his position as Headmaster of Hogwarts. This attempt would have resulted in her death if Harry Potter had not intervened.
Lucius's slick demeanour thinly concealed a cowardly side. Stack Overflow for Teams — Collaborate and share knowledge with a private group. Create a free Team What is Teams? Learn more.
