Lucius Malfoy did nothing to dispel this hateful impression and was a fully signed up supporter of
He definitely doesn't meet the standards of Dolores Umbridge, Bellatrix Lestrange or Lord Voldemort, but he's really heinous enough to be classified as very tough Near Pure Evil.
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. Lucius was sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban.
Lucius Abraxas Malfoy is a major antagonist in the Harry Potter franchise. He is a Death Eater who served Lord Voldemort during the First Wizarding War. Years later, when Voldemort returns, Lucius quickly rejoins his master again, though he eventually loses the Dark Lord's favor due to some misgivings and failures.
The main reason is that Lucius failed to retrieve the prophecy from the Ministry of Magic, put that on top of all the other times Lucius failed, and it leads to him losing any clout he once carried within the Death Eaters. Lucius did that for his own benefit - he was trying to discredit Arthur weasley.
Lucius Malfoy is one of the only Death Eaters to go through an actual character arc in the series. During this arc, we see him fall from Lord Voldemort's favor. This shattered his confidence, and thus impacted his magical abilities.
Isaacs brings up Lucius' disheveled appearance in Deathly Hallows, raising the possibility that the Malfoy patriarch had begun drinking too much. The way Isaacs saw it, Lucius was in a no-win situation. Given everything he'd done, the man no longer had a place on either side of the war.
He Always Thought Highly Of Snape
After Lucius Malfoy was made Slytherin House's Prefect, he warmly welcomed a younger Severus Snape into his social group. During their time in Hogwarts, the two befriended one another, even though Lucius clearly wouldn't have liked Snape's secret crush's non-magical blood status.
Because he and his family defected from the Death Eaters they were pardoned for their crimes after Voldemort's final defeat and did not serve a stint in Azkaban. He and Narcissa later had a grandson, Scorpius Malfoy, after Draco married Astoria Greengrass.
Who is more loyal to Voldemort between Lucius Malfoy and Snape? This is, I think, a more interesting question that it seems at first. The gut reaction answer is to say that while Severus was actively working to bring Voldemort down, Lucius was not, so he was more loyal.
Despite being a valued Death Eater in the days before Voldemort fell following his attack on baby Harry, Lucius stumbled out of favor with the Dark Lord when he squandered Riddle's diary (secretly a horcrux) in Chamber of Secrets and failed to obtain the prophecy in Order of the Phoenix.
Because Arthur was a “blood traitor”: A pureblood who associated with Muggles/did not view them as inferior. It outraged him that someone lucky enough to be “pure” refused to embrace that purity, and instead wanted to protect Muggles and was in fact fascinated by their culture. Also, the rich look down on the poor.
Lucius Malfoy may be one of the Dark Lord Voldemort's Death Eaters, but that doesn't have to mean he's a bad father or that he was cruel and had hurt/abused his wife, Narcissa Black Malfoy, and son, Draco Malfoy. He's definitely an awesome and loving father.
“Your parents were meddlesome fools too. Mark my words, Potter. One day soon, you are going to meet the same sticky end”.
Finally, Lucius, Narcissa, and Draco never fled Hogwarts with the other antagonists and losers. In The Deathly Hallows novel, the Malfoys defect from Voldemort's army, betraying the other Death Eaters.
during the First Wizarding War, Lucius Malfoy is obviously a skilled, experienced, and influential wizard. Malfoy demonstrated his skill in the dark arts when he. successfully put Sturgis Podmore and Broderick Bode. under the long term control of his imperious curse.
No, at least in the book. In the movie, yes, Lucius Malfoy did start to say the incantation for the Killing Curse before he got stopped by Dobby. However, Jason Isaacs, the actor playing him, stated in an interview that he just said the first spell that came into his head, which happened to be Avada Kedavra.
Sensing he's helpless, Malfoy gives the duo a stare and hurries out of sight. The ending of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is slightly different, thanks to actor Jason Isaacs improvising the Killing Curse - Avada Kedavra. As Lucius attempts to shoot the Unforgivable Curse, Dobby blasts him backward.
Harry Potter's wand shot a stream of golden flames at Lord Voldemort of its own accord during the Battle of the Seven Potters. The spell was powerful enough to break Lucius Malfoy's wand.
Although Snape may not have projected his memory of James onto Harry, he still would have been predisposed to dislike him by virtue of him being James Potter's son. Harry being in Slytherin would not have changed this fact.
Lucius Malfoy failed Voldemort more than once. He gave the Diary to someone else while Voldemort was in exile, causing the Diary to be destroyed, Voldemort must have been extremely angry when he knew that the Diary was destroyed. Because of this, Lucius wanted to get the prophecy in book 5, to please Voldemort.
Harry, however, had never been less interested in Quidditch; he was rapidly becoming obsessed with Draco Malfoy.
After Voldemort's downfall on the fateful night of Halloween in 1981, many Death Eaters are captured, but Lucius avoids being imprisoned by claiming that he was under the Imperius Curse throughout the war. He manages to retain his position among the social elite, but still remains a power-hungry bigot.
The Malfoys didn't go to Azkaban mainly because at the end of the day, they put their family over Voldemort.
Voldemort didn't hate Lucius Malfoy, he despised him for his failure. Lucius's fall from grace is a study in irony. During the Second Wizarding War, Lucius was Voldemort's Chief Death Eater; but afterwards, everything went downhill for him.
