His failure at the Department of Mysteries infuriated Voldemort, so the Dark Lord developed a plan to use Lucius’ only son Draco to kill Dumbledore, assuming that Draco would be killed in the attempt ( HBP2). He was captured and was sent to Azkaban ( OP38). Lucius led the Death Eaters in the battle in the Department of Mysteries, but failed to obtain the prophecy. Lucius then resumed his privileged position with respect to the Ministry, especially influencing Fudge ( OP9). That attack didn’t go as planned but Harry wasn’t believed. Dobby became a devoted and helpful friend to Harry after that.Īfter answering Voldemort’s Dark Mark and retaking his place as a Death Eater on June 24, 1995, Lucius participated in the attack on Harry in the graveyard of Little Hangleton ( GF33). The Malfoys had a house-elf named Dobby who was “bound to serve one house and one family forever” ( CS2) until Harry tricked Lucius into releasing him ( CS18). However Harry saved Ginny and destroyed the diary ( CS17), which turned out to be a Horcrux. This indeed caused trouble when Tom Riddle, through the diary, used Ginny to open the Chamber of Secrets and unleash the Basilisk into the school, “petrifying” several students. He hatched a plan to interfere at Hogwarts by slipping an old diary of Lord Voldemort’s into Ginny Weasley’s school books. He considered Dumbledore to be a very poor headmaster and even succeeded in getting him temporarily removed from that position ( CS14). He remained staunchly against admitting non-pure-blood witches and wizards into Hogwarts and he used his influence (and money) to try to force changes there.

His son Draco Malfoy was Harry Potter’s archrival at Hogwarts. When Fudge was minister, he acquiesced to Lucius, impressed with the “purity” of his wizarding blood and sizable sums of Galleons he donated. Lucius Malfoy used his position in the wizarding world to wield considerable power in the Ministry of Magic. Lucius revived his old allegiances when Voldemort rose to power once again ( GF9). Lucius was a Death Eater during Voldemort’s first “reign of terror.” However after the Dark Lord disappeared, Malfoy “came back saying he’d never meant any of it” ( CS3).

Lucius Malfoy is the patriarch of the prestigious pure-blood Malfoy family, father of Draco Malfoy and one of Voldemort’s top Death Eaters.
