Lucius continued to think and speak highly of Severus later in life, and Severus seemed to favour Draco as a student in his Potions class, leading Sirius Black to once acidly comment that Severus was Lucius' lapdog. Severus, on his part, was the only Death Eater who continued to treat Lucius kindly after his fall from favour and was the one who convinced Voldemort to free him from Azkaban.
It is unknown how Lucius reacted when he learnt of Snape's death and his true loyalties to Dumbledore, though it is possible that he was saddened by the death of his old friend and may have been sympathetic towards Snape due to his own disillusionment from the Death Eaters.
Bellatrix Lestrange , his sister-in-law. Lucius did not seem to have very much respect for Bellatrix Lestrange, his sister-in-law, as the rest of the Death Eaters did. Lucius was antagonistic with Bellatrix due to usurping his place within the Death Eater ranks despite the fact she had been imprisoned in Azkaban for fourteen years, unlike Lucius.
Their differences in loyalty in the Dark Lord also fuelled their antagonism for each other. After the battle, Bellatrix told Narcissa that it was Lucius' fault that she couldn't give Voldemort the Prophecy. When Draco was made a Death Eater, she trained Draco herself In , Bellatrix stayed with Lucius at his house, as she wanted to come closer to Voldemort, who was also staying there. Bellatrix and Lucius also fought together during the skirmish at Malfoy Manor, where they argued about who would call Voldemort when they caught Harry Potter.
During the Battle of Hogwarts , Bellatrix was eventually killed by Molly Weasley , although Lucius' reaction to her death is unknown. Dobby , his former House-elf. Dobby was Lucius' house-elf. Lucius treated Dobby with cruelty and abuse and was very sadistic with him. Dobby feared Lucius, but did everything Lucius ordered him. In , Harry Potter freed Dobby by making Lucius give him a sock. Lucius became very angry and attempted to kill Harry.
Dobby was eventually killed by Bellatrix Lestrange , and it is unknown how Lucius reacted when he learned about his death. Lord Voldemort , his former master. Voldemort gave his diary Horcrux to Lucius to retain. Upon his rebirth in , Voldemort questioned Lucius' loyalty, since he had never tried to find the Dark Lord after his fall in Later however, Lucius selfishly throwing away the diary Horcrux, his failure in retrieving the Prophecy, and subsequent imprisonment in Azkaban made him and his family lose any favour in Voldemort's eyes, and the Dark Lord may gave Lucius' son a nearly impossible task to punish Lucius.
Although he broke Lucius out of Azkaban in , along with many other Death Eaters, Voldemort treated him with disdain, taking over his home and his wand , and mocking the Malfoys for their relation to a werewolf through Narcissa's niece. Lucius was desperate to regain his master's favour, but the opportunity for that came with the capture of Harry Potter in the spring of and, unfortunately for him, ended in disaster; Harry and his friends escaped , and the Malfoys were severely punished.
By the Battle of Hogwarts , Lucius had abandoned his loyalty to Voldemort in order to protect his family, and was pardoned for his crimes due to his last-minute defection. Draco mentioned many years later that Lucius never wanted to use the "true" Time-Turner to save Voldemort, as he probably preferred a world without him, suggesting that even Lucius despised the Dark Lord in the end, particularly due to the ill treatment Voldemort had given to the Malfoy family at their later half of their Death Eater services.
Albus Dumbledore , his enemy. 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 supremacist beliefs.
In addition, Lucius was a Death Eater, so he believed that Lord Voldemort was a much more powerful wizard than Dumbledore. Lucius always believed that Dumbledore becoming Headmaster was the worst thing that happened to Hogwarts. In , Lucius Malfoy was indirectly responsible for the second opening of the Chamber of Secrets.
This was an attempt to discredit Arthur Weasley but Lucius also wanted to include Dumbledore by using the excuse of blaming him for doing nothing to stop the Chamber's opening. Lucius abused his position as a Hogwarts Governor and threatened the other Governors to vote for Dumbledore's suspension after several attacks on Hogwarts students. However, when Ginny Weasley was taken into the Chamber to lure Harry Potter , the other Governors decided to face Malfoy and Dumbledore was reinstated.
Lucius was furious that Dumbledore dared to return to Hogwarts to help Harry successfully save Ginny, but Dumbledore was aware that Lucius had threatened the other Governors.
Consequently, Lucius was sacked as a Hogwarts Governor. In the following years, Lucius continued to dislike Dumbledore and cause trouble for him. When Voldemort was resurrected in , Lucius returned to his service. As the Ministry was refusing to believe Dumbledore about Voldemort's return, they started a smear campaign to discredit him. Lucius contributed to this smear campaign by describing Dumbledore as "eccentric" for his past choice of teachers including the werewolf Remus Lupin , half-giant Rubeus Hagrid and ex- Auror Alastor Moody.
Later that year, Lucius participated in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries and fought against the Order of the Phoenix. However, he was arrested and sent to Azkaban. Dumbledore believed that Lucius would feel "safe" in Azkaban because Voldemort was furious at Lucius' failure in the Department of Mysteries , and offered to protect Lucius along with Narcissa when Draco threatened to murder the headmaster. It is unknown how Lucius reacted when he learned of Dumbledore's death.
Harry Potter , his former enemy. Lucius was the father of Draco Malfoy, Harry's school bully. During their first years at Hogwarts, Lucius discouraged their rivalry, feeling it wouldn't reflect well on them to be on poor terms with such a famous person. When Lucius first met Harry in Flourish and Blotts in , he pretended to be polite to him. After Harry succeeded in killing the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets , he confronted Lucius about his suspicions on how Ginny obtained the diary at the beginning of the year and then tricked him into freeing his own servant Dobby.
Lucius was furious and from that point on, treated him with cool contempt. Lucius was a little bit more tactful around Harry than other Death Eaters such as Bellatrix Lestrange depending on the circumstances.
However, Lucius did not openly declare himself against him until after Lord Voldemort took control of the Ministry. During the Battle of Hogwarts , the Malfoy family switched sides, meaning they were forgiven for their crimes.
Draco, while he did not necessarily become "friends" with Harry, ultimately made peace with him. Lucius did the same as well, or at least simply decided to leave Harry and his friends and family alone. Cornelius Fudge , his former associate.
Cornelius Fudge was easily and strongly swayed by money and power. As a result, he favoured people like Lucius Malfoy. Malfoy influenced and likely bribed Cornelius Fudge many times during the latter's tenure as Minister for Magic , in return receiving favours such as delays in laws and given classified information. In the summer of , Fudge invited Malfoy to occupy the top box with him at the Quidditch World Cup final, thanks to his "generous" donations to St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.
In , Lucius returned to Voldemort, but Fudge denied Voldemort's rebirth and insisted that Malfoy had switched sides, and the wealthy Malfoy continued to work with the Ministry.
They met after Harry Potter's disciplinary hearing and went upstairs to Fudge's office, where Harry suspected Lucius gave gold to Fudge. Malfoy's frequent visits to Fudge also may have given him opportunity to put Ministry workers such as Broderick Bode and Sturgis Podmore under the Imperius Curse to attempt to steal a prophecy concerning Harry and Voldemort.
After the Battle of the Department of Mysteries , Fudge was forced to believe that Voldemort had indeed returned, and all the Death Eaters who took part on the battle with the exception of Bellatrix Lestrange were sentenced to Azkaban , among them being Lucius. After being imprisoned, Lucius lost his job and influence at the Ministry; Fudge, having been blind to Lucius' true intentions until it was too late, also lost his career and popularity as well. Rubeus Hagrid was not on good terms with the Malfoy family.
He was disgusted with their pure blood supremacy, their bullying of Muggle-borns and blood traitors , their allegiance to Lord Voldemort and their disrespect to Albus Dumbledore , whom Hagrid was fiercely loyal to. In turn, the Malfoys disliked Hagrid, referring to him as an "oaf". In particular, Hagrid disliked Lucius.
During the — school year , the Chamber of Secrets was opened. Lucius was indirectly responsible for the Chamber's opening. However, Hagrid was blamed because he had been framed by Tom Riddle for the Chamber's first opening fifty years before. As a result, Hagrid was arrested as a precautionary measure by Cornelius Fudge. Lucius was present at Hagrid's arrest, although Hagrid reacted angrily to his presence and ordered him to get out of his house.
Lucius mocked Hagrid by wondering how he called his small hut a "house". Lucius was only present at Hagrid's arrest because he had to inform Dumbledore that he and the other governors had voted on his suspension. Hagrid saw through Lucius and shouted at him accusing him of threatening the other governors. Lucius' response was to mock Hagrid's temper and advising him not to shout at Azkaban guards like that.
This instance proved that Hagrid did not trust Lucius. Lucius described Dumbledore's decision to employ Hagrid as a teacher as "eccentric". Lucius was furious and complained to the Ministry of Magic. At Buckbeak's trial, Lucius was the witness for the prosecution. Hagrid desperately tried to defend Buckbeak but he lost due to Lucius' influence at the Ministry. Buckbeak was sentenced to death but was saved by Harry and Hermione, which possibly led Lucius to feel that the Hippogriff had made him and Draco look like fools.
As a high ranking Death Eater, Lucius was occasionally given leadership over his fellows by Voldemort.
When given commands, the other Death Eaters usually follow them without question or signs of resentment. Once Lucius and his family lost favour with Voldemort the other Death Eaters largely lost any respect they had towards Lucius, even loudly jeering at him when Voldemort mentioned their relation by marriage to werewolf Remus Lupin through Lucius's niece Nymphadora Tonks.
Peter Pettigrew worked alongside Lucius in keeping prisoners in the Malfoy Manor. They also stood next to each other in the Death Eater circle following Voldemort's rebirth. Lucius and Peter's Hogwarts years would've overlapped. The relationship between the two is unknown beyond this. Barty Crouch Jnr was a highly loyal Death Eater who had a strong dislike towards Lucius for never attempting to search for Voldemort after he disappeared.
While disguised as Alastor Moody , Barty enjoyed intimidating Lucius's son. Corban Yaxley seemed familiar with Lucius and his wealthy and extravagant lifestyle, though he expressed this in a snide manner.
Lucius considered sending his son to Durmstrang due to Karkaroff's headmastership and the fact that Durmstrang doesn't allow muggle-born wizards and witches to attend. Lucius appeared to be friendly with Crabbe and Nott , as their sons were familiar with each other prior to arriving at Hogwarts.
Nott visited the Malfoy Manor on at least one occasion to discuss unknown things with Lucius. Despite this, Lucius didn't hesitate to leave an injured Nott behind during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries , knowing that Voldemort would be much angrier at losing the prophecy. He and Rodolphus were brother-in-laws through their marriages with Naricissa and Bellatrix respectively.
Lucius also chose Mulciber as his partner during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries. Lucius was disdainful towards werewolf Fenrir Greyback when he brought Harry Potter and his friends to the Malfoy Manor. Greyback was likewise resentful of the Malfoy's cold reception and argued with Lucius over who would receive credit for capturing Harry.

Greyback was likewise resentful of the Malfoy's cold reception and argued with Lucius over who would receive credit for capturing Harry.
Dobby feared Lucius, but did everything Lucius ordered him. None of them served time in Azkaban due to the evidence he provided against fellow Death Eaters and his help to ensure the capture of many of Voldemort's followers who had fled into hiding.
When Voldemort returned, Lucius once again served him as a Death Eater, leading the efforts to obtain the prophecy Voldemort sought.
Lucius Malfoy is a major antagonist in the Harry Potter franchise.. Wand Lucius Malfoy Character Analysis.

Included in each book is a collectible art print, making this series a must-have for all Harry Potter fans and collectors everywhere. Nothing even mattered. In , after the trial of Harry Potter, Malfoy and Fudge encountered Harry, and it was implied that Malfoy was giving money to the Ministry. He probably would have served for life as per me. But whereas Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters were swiftly becoming a source of widespread fear by a most of his own kind, Lucius, on the other hand, found himself rather agreeing with their views regarding the treatment that the non-magical community deserved.
He was caught breaking into the top secret department of mysteries after hours and was taking part in death eater activities. For abused, bullied young Snape, this must have planted the seeds for a deep loyalty. Lucius challenged the boy to prove his claims, but Dumbledore who had returned to Hogwarts at the request of the governors, stated that would be impossible with the diary beyond repair.
He is the typical spoiled and self-centered bully, Harry's arch-rival at Hogwarts, and a Death Eater serving under Lord Voldemort. Harry does this as a protection thing, to make sure that Voldemort does not have any extra incentive to go after her. When Lucius attempts to retaliate by attacking Harry, Dobby comes to Harry's aid.

Lucius and Peter's Hogwarts years would've overlapped. However, in spite of his ruthless and prejudiced nature, one of Lucius's more redeeming traits was that he was very loving and devoted towards his family, especially caring greatly for his wife and son. If you could choose to stay a certain age forever, what age would it be? Lucius exploited his influence for his son, because Draco wanted Buckbeak dead and Hagrid fired.
By the Battle of Hogwarts, Lucius had abandoned his loyalty to Voldemort in order to protect his family, and was pardoned for his crimes due to his last-minute defection.
In due time, the uppish couple entered what was seen as a very respectable, pure-blood marriage, and took up residence at Malfoy Manor.

Lucius Malfoy's own accent didn't go over well at first, Isaacs revealed to Entertainment Weekly.
Draco on the Black Family Tree tapestry. Lucius is a complex character; we see a steady change in him throughout the series, and in the end, his love is his greatest strength, and it is what keeps him alive. Lucius Malfoy is married to Narcissa Malfoy. They have one son, Draco Malfoy. We are never sure of the exact feelings between father and son until the final book, where we learn that Lucius fears that Draco has come to harm in Hogwarts.
Prior to that, the only interaction between them we had witnessed was in Borgin and Burkes , where Lucius seemed to be bullying Draco.
Lucius' wealth and status secures him influence over high level Ministry officials including Cornelius Fudge. However, he does not appear to have any true friends. Lucius is particularly hostile to Arthur Weasley , insulting him about his low level in the Ministry, poverty and fondness of Muggles.
There are implications throughout the series of the two being friends or at least close acquaintances. Narcissa herself refers to Snape as "Lucius's old friend" and she herself seems very familiar with him implying that the Malfoys have some level of intimacy with him that goes beyond that of fellow Death Eaters. Severus has been described by Sirius as Malfoy's lapdog and Lucius seems to have informed Severus that he recognized Sirius in his dog form.
Another telling example is the way Snape reacts to Harry implicating Lucius as one of the Death Eaters he saw after the rebirth of Lord Voldemort. Still it it unknown how close the two actually are as we do not see them together very often. Lucius is one of the more interesting characters in the series, as we see enough of him to be aware of how he is changing as the series continues. In the beginning, he is smooth, assured of his own superiority over the rabble surrounding him.
We know that a lot of this is buying influence; this is drawn particularly into focus when, after the return of Voldemort, Harry starts naming the Death Eaters who had come to his side, and Cornelius Fudge protests that Lucius can't be a Death Eater, as he makes hefty donations to all sorts of worthy causes.
We see this start to crack when Voldemort returns; Lucius is put on the spot immediately, as Voldemort asks why he had run when the Dark Mark had appeared in the sky at the Quidditch World Cup , and why he, unlike the Lestranges, had not tried to find out where Voldemort had gone. As his plans fall apart around him, he collapses inwards into himself as well; when we see him in the beginning of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows , he seems little more than a shell of himself.
He does not protest when Voldemort demands his wand, not even when Voldemort says he will have no further use for it. Wandless, he cannot fight at Hogwarts, though he is present; Voldemort keeps him around as a messenger, and apparently intends to humiliate him. At the end of the book, when we see him, he seems to be quietly thankful that he and his family were allowed to remain alive; there is no sign of his old confidence.
The interaction between Lucius Malfoy and the Weasleys should, perhaps, be mentioned as well. Lucius was certainly guilty of prejudice against Muggleborns, but the Weasleys were Purebloods also, so Lucius probably was more irritated at the Weasley affinity for things Muggle, perhaps most especially a friendship with Hermione, rather than any racial prejudice against them as a family.
As Arthur's job had to do with Muggle life, Lucius would have seen the Weasleys as blood traitors, especially as Arthur was able to get some laws enacted protecting Muggles from the worst Wizards. It is certainly true that Lucius used Arthur's relative poverty against him, something which adds to our perception of him as a bully.
Study questions are meant to be left for each student to answer; please don't answer them here. While examining Lucius can be rewarding, he does remain largely in the background of the series, except in the second book where he deliberately plants the diary in Ginny Weasley's book bag. We are never entirely sure whether Lucius knew that the diary was one of Voldemort's Horcruxes. Apparently, according to what we learn later, Lucius had been told that the diary was a source of disruption, intended to be left somewhere like Hogwarts.
Voldemort had, however, neither informed him of its exact nature, nor given Lucius instruction to part with it. While some Death Eaters knew of Voldemort's Horcruxes, as Regulus Black apparently did, we are led to believe that Lucius did not know that the diary was one. As such, when Voldemort learns of the destruction of the diary, he is enraged. Lucius' fall from grace in Voldemort's eyes can likely be traced from the time Voldemort learned of the destruction of the diary, which seems to mark the first of a series of failures: his attempt to use the Imperius curse to retrieve the Prophecy, first on Sturgis Podmore and later on Broderick Bode, fails, as does the mission he leads into the Ministry to get it via Harry, which results in Lucius himself being locked up.
