Draco Malfoy's Patronus [Harry Potter Theory] 

What is your Patronus?!

All the Malfoys save Harry: Narcissa in the forest because she loves Draco Draco in Malfoy Manor because he... feels bad..? Lucius by being SUCH A BAD DEATH EATER!!

mcgonagall: Is that? - is that a student?!? Moody: Technically it’s a ferret!

The real reason why the sorting hat didn’t touch Dracos head is because he didn’t want to ruin his perfect hair

I just wanna say that I REALLLLY wanted it to be a ferret....which IS actually the first animal that came to my mind right before dragon....

Are the rarest patronus connected to the deathly hallows? The Thestral for the Invisibility Cloak The Phoenix for the Resurrection Stone The Dragon for the Elder Wand

Another, maybe even important, fact to consider: While we humans might perceive albino peacocks as extraordinarily elegant and beautiful they literally have no chance with the hens as they are seen as an ugly abomination by their peers.

J.K. Rowling: "dEaTh eaTeRs caNt mAeK pAtOrnUs cAusE DeATh eaTeRz R bAd" SCB: "Good thing you don't decide what's canon."

"Oh man! let's talk about Draco Mal-" "DID SOMEONE SAY DRACO MALFOY!?"

New theory: Draco is an animagus, and he was the albino peacock.

Ben totally missed a opportunity to bring back “these socks are amazing” when he said, “When I was in college my aunt Theresa sent me cookies and they were amazing...Just like these socks.”

That was a great argument, but personally, my mind went straight to arctic fox, the light hair, clever hunting style, ability to hide any weaknesses and survive in harsh conditions, and finally, the ability to blend in with the surroundings, only showing itself when attacking (the death eaters). It would be great if you made a video on this theory, dig deeper into the connection.

Draco was skilled, he was intelligent, and had much talent. The reason he was always portrayed as the villain is because we read the books from Harry's viewpoint. All Draco wanted was his father's approval, to honor the traditions of his family. He was always insecure, anxious, and terrified of failure.

I like how you defended Draco’s abilities. Many people oversee that Draco was actually a skilled wizard. Too bad he had a rotten personality for most/all the series.

“The dark arts to his defence against “😂😂

Why is Parseltongue considered evil? I mean, just because an evil wizard speaks a certain language and used it for evil, that doesn't mean the language itself is evil.

Half blood prince made me change my view of Draco. Many people forget what family he was born into. People with loyal personalities are easily corruptible and their loyalty can overcast their true inner self. Which is what is shown in half blood prince. His inner struggle. He has a heart but is also driven by family loyalty.

Not even lying when you were talking about Draco’s personality about halfway through I was thinking peacock.

Imagine malfoy’s Patronius was a pufferfish I mean that’s a type of animal that puts on a show when it’s threatened lol

My question-- was it a coincidence that James and Lily's patronuses were a Stag and a Doe respectively, or did one of their patronuses change because they fell in love to complement the other's?

Professor McGonagall doesn't even put the Sorting Hat on Draco Malfoy's head when it sorts him into Slytherin, in fact, the hat barely even touches Draco's head.

A white peacock is not necessarily albino. Most white peacocks actually have a condition called.. wait for it.. LEUCISM. Sound familiar?

To cast a Patronus summoning best if use a Happy memory Me: when is Draco happy ..? His patronus : Dobby

Nobody: Nobody ever: Draco: ‘iT’s KiLlEd MeH, iT’s KiLlEd MeH!’

Him: ha! You thought I was going to say dragon! Me: I thought you were gonna say drag queen-

Bad Harry Potter summary: abused kid goes to school and kills a guy who doesn’t have a nose

You could probably convince us that moaning myrtle’s patronus was a platypus bear and I would believe you 100 percent

His patronus is his father.

Ben: "we started looking for an animal that is known for its arrogance but at the end of the day is just putting on a show" Me: A cat?! Ben: A peacock!! Well that works too, I guess...

Ben you can be a lawyer, those convincing skills and arguments of yours...

Draco: "A bloody peacock?! Not a Dragon?! MY FATHER WILL HEAR ABOUT THIS!"

Are we seriously not going to mention that Draco's father's patronus is a peacock? Ok...

I like a peacock for Draco for several reasons: They are inherently showy, often to their own detriment (a peacock's tail makes them move slowly, and they are significantly more visible than a peahen); they are loud and can use that to drive off/bully other animals (every time I go to the zoo); and he associates it with what he values most - Family.

The clip that they use for Voldemort doing the "he he he he" is my favorite thing. I love that is the clip they use for anything Voldemort. Love it!

At the end i really thought he would say "And that is why Dracos Patronus is a ferret" :D

I think Draco’s patronus is a fox- literally the representation of his character- cunning, sly. Ambitious too, but, yeah.

Ben: what animal comes to mind when you think of Draco's Patronus? Me: peacock. Because it's pretty and showy and reminds him of his family, who are so important to him. Ben: ferret.

Me when seeing any of SCB’s titles: Haha yeah right I know exactly what you’re going to say this is ridiculous! Me after watching the video: this is now unofficial canon

It’s funny I mulled over all the same options for Dracos patronus myself earlier today (weird timing I know). But one option I think you forgot to consider is your own patronus, a thestral. Not only would it show how skilled Draco is, since it’s also a rare patronus, but also I think it works in terms of his true personality. The quote on Pottermore suggests that the patronus reveals ones true self. Thestrals are extremely shy creatures that live in solitude, which once Draco starts revealing his true self, it seems a lot like him considering his only friend in The Half Blood Prince was Moaning Myrtle. They are also extremely loyal/protective, which Draco certainly is when it comes to saving him family from Voldemort. It also contrasts well with Harry. Hippogriffs (which Harry rides and has a consistent friendship with one) are known as the opposite of thestrals. Hippogriffs literally are a symbol of life and hope while thestrals are a symbol of death and fear (aka Harry v Draco). Phoenix’s are a symbol of life as well so it works in that way too. Another point is thestrals can only been seen by a select few people, people who have seen death, so it works perfectly with the fact that very few people see the true Draco. Finally when Harry sees a thestral in the Order of the Phoenix heres how he describes it: “A pair of blank, white, shining eyes were growing larger through the gloom and a moment later the dragonish face, neck, and then skeletal body of a great, black, winged horse emerged from the darkness.” A dragonish face? Pure white eyes? Emerging from darkness? Sounds a lot like a certain slytherin don’t ya think @SuperCarlinBrothers ? *Side note: Honestly I think his father Lucius fits the idea of a peacock more than Draco

his patronus might be white peacock because his manor's garden contains them....also his patronus might be rare bcoz he have a hawthron wand.... it only comes to a very talented wizard , a very powerful wizard.

Cause when I saw that scene of when Ron laughs at Draco’s name, I thought “yes your name funny, what’s your middle name, mushu! “

My Patronus is a Black Swan. Yes.... apperantly it is specifically BLACK. My GHOSTLY WHITE PATRONUS is BLACK. Riddle me that. My Hogwarts house is Ravenclaw, amd Ilvermorny house is Thunderbird. Ironically I have a phobia of birds -save for the corvid family-.

Fun Fact: The actor of Draco took the Patronus quiz and got a Tortoiseshell Cat. xD

I still think he’s a ferret. He wiggles his way out of tricky situations, he’s a snarky little baby, and is basically a snake with fur (slithery and feisty) while still having a soft side. I feel like being a ferret fits his personality pretty well. Plus if someone were to turn him into a furry, I’m pretty confident that it’d be a ferret. But that’s just me

Why's Draco's names funny: There's a really weird looking dragon called Draco on baby tv

I laughed out loud at "Take that, Draco, I'm even a better snake than you" 👀😂

Draco embodies the silver snake to a tee tee-shirt, that is.

Also, both phoenixs and peacocks have cameos in Greek mythology, with a peacock being the personal pet of hera, and it gets it's eye-like feather pattern from when the one-hundred eyed giant Argus

Ben: “Which I still argue has a little bit of merit.” Me: “Oh please say it, please please plea-...” Ben: “Ferrit Merit, if you will.” Me: “YEEEES! My life is compleeeete!”

Another thing: From biological point of view, pickok's tail is a message: "Look, I'm so well visible, so easy to hunt down, yet I'm still alive, so I'm real badass". And Drako suvive pissing up Voldemort, so he must be badass as well.

Harry: I mean I’m Harry, just Harry! Ben: I think you mean Hippo! 😂🦛

I think my favorite part of that whole thing was at the end when he compared the white peacock Harry saw to the protection Draco was about to give them. I also agree that it was definitely just a regular bird, but it would be SO COOL if it was actually Draco's patronus.. like just the most beautiful, most cool thing ever

I always thought his patronus would be a Dragon but now that you’ve said a Peacock it makes so much sense! I never ever thought of that

6:15 Despite what Draco says himself, i personally don't think Ron was actually laughing at his name. I think he was laughing at how Draco said his name, cause he made it sound SO important. "My name is Malfoy, DRACO Malfoy". I don't know, just my opinion.

"Oh man! Let's talk about Draco Malfoy" .....i'm listening

@ 6:00 I have paused to say that a witch or wizards patronus is (for the overwhelming majority) something that has meaning to them. Harry's was his father's and even a nod to his mother as the buck protects the doe and at that point in his life he would have given anything to have her in his life and would have protected her fiercely. Other classmates and teachers have favorite animals, familiars, and secondary forms (animagi) as their patroni, some even have the animal that represents their family name. This being said, (and I know that by 6 minutes in you've already admitted it's just a prank) being turned into a ferret and stuffed into his "friend's" pants was one of the absolutely most humiliating experiences of his proud little life... For this reason it absolutely COULDN'T be his patronus and if it were, he wouldn't be able to hold it as the spell requires positivity to not only cast but to maintain. A ferret would have made Draco rage... crushing the spell.

Js: HEYY BROTHErr ben: HeyyyyyyyYYYYYYyyYYYyyYYYyyyY BRotthhhhhEErrrrrrrrrrrR

How are peacocks "just normal birds" when they are not showing off, they are just AMAZING ALL THE TIME

Ben: “it’s not like your house has much to do with your Patronus” Me: A Hufflepuff who’s Patronus is a badger...🤭

The peacocks were also at the Malfoy tent for the Quidditch World Cup!!!

You know I watched the movies with my kids, and I always wondered. "Did Drako Malfoy have a choice? " His farther was neck deep and had no spine but was hungry for power. His mother was kind and loving but could not leave with out endangering herself and her son. As a boy you do not see your parents doing wrong, you love them. As a teenagers we see them as a roll model, someone to imitate. But as you grow into a young adult, we start to notice the flaws that are parents may have. I believe by the time Drako became aware of the true evil in which his farther fallowed. He was already in way over his head, with burned bridges he left behind him. SO the questions is "Did Drako have a choice?" I think it was not the peacocks as Drako Patronus, but the fragile little bird, that is waiting to fly free. As shown in the mending of the cabinet.

Me: A peacock. Because the Malfoy's have some. Did I watch this entire video just to see Ben reach the same answer through different reasoning? Yes, yes I did

Fed and George Weasley invented the flash mob. Prove me wrong.

i feel like draco’s magic ability is connected to ambition and determination, while harry’s is more about working with what’s right in front of him rather than long term situations

Was anyone else vibing to the intro music and caught off guard when an ad came on right before "heyyy brother!"?

Me: Ahhhh time to sleep! SCB: uploads Me: welp you gotta do what you gotta do

I sort of like the idea of him having a normal colourful peacock as a symbol of him not quite being the same as his family.

I always wondered how narcissa could get away with the lies to Voldy.... and yes, in plural...she did such an amazing role being a peacock somehow, that she manage to safe her entire family..... she is the original peacock, thus the Draco’s patronus is his mom

“What is ferret like” James S Murray from impractical jokers

I thought you'd go with hippogriff: proud, snappy, doesn't bond with just about anyone, looks scary. But if you respect it and allow yourself to bond with it, hippogriffs can be extremely loyal and caring. Peacocks look flashy and can be aggressive, so there's no hidden softer side to them, no "inner self" represented in them. (Alternatively: pitbull bc bad reputation but can be nice and caring dogs if nurtured properly, or milksnake because they evolved their looks to appear like deadly corals to avoid being killed by predators like how Draco tried to look and act like a Death Eater to avoid being killed by Voldemort.) If I had to pick someone to have a peafowl patronus it'd be Narcissa, she'd fit the aggressive nature of protective peahens when they have eggs or young, and how they're overlooked thanks to their flashy mates. Being overlooked by Voldemort bc Lucius drew attention allowed Narcissa to save Harry.

You should make a video mapping out Hogwarts! Including the chamber of secrets, the room of requirements, the “basement room” from the philosophers stone, etc. I’ve always been curious of the layout of the school!

"I didn't exactly thought that Draco's Patronus would be a small tropical island bird, or for that matter, the duke of weaseltown." I never laugh so loud

Ben: whatever that means Ben the next sentence: what that means...

Now I can’t stop imagining a whole Harry Potter series where Harry’s a hippo 🦛

I always felt Draco was there to show us what Harry could possibly be like if he had grown up in the Wizarding World. As far as Draco's patronus I feel it would be a maned wolf.

Draco is my favourite character because he's got so many levels later in the series after seeming so flat and simple early on. I've always thought his patronus would either be a peacock as well coincidentally for pretty similar reasons. He reflects a lot of their traits, right down to being snappy and aggressive when threatened (you do not want to know what it feels like to be nipped by a peacock!). My patronus is a magpie.

When you said an animal that shows off I immediately thought of a peacock.

"Draco is a less fantastic phoenix in all the ways that Harry is a more fantastic peacock." This sentence needs to be put on a t-shirt. PLEASE!!!

He wont be able to cast a potronous. You wanna know why? His life sucks. He has nothing happy in it. Poor Draco.

I FULLY agree ! I loved the idea of a Dragon but it's too "easy" for me. The white peacock is perfect in every ways.

My theory is that Draco’s Patronus is a hognose. Not only is it a species of snake, but it also matches his personality. Dramatic, fiery, easily provoked, but all bark and no bite; they’re both more likely to go on about how you’ll regret messing with them than actually do anything about it.

I was like "why the heck haven't i seen this video before" and then i realized it was uploaded 9 hours ago

The Malfoys do definitely have a bird-ish air about them. Preening, self-important, cold, distant. But I always pictured a peacock as the patronus of his father, Lucius, who I think relies a lot more on appearances and putting on a show given how he pulls stings all around wizarding society. My head canon for Draco is that during the war he was never able to conjure one. Having demontors and Dark Lords and constantly hiding yourself through Occlumency does not seem conducive to patronus production. But after the war I imagine he would want to get away from a society with which he has a tarnished past and which probably no longer trusts him or his family. Maybe move to a secluded shoreline somewhere. And there maybe he could develop memories happy enough to produce a corporeal patronus. When he does I think it would take the form of: an albatross A solemn, introspective, and distant bird. No longer the boastful brashness of his youth, a dampening of his personality I think we already start to see coming out during Deathly Hallows. A bird also heavily associated with guilt and burdens, as I'm sure he feels after the war. Yet it still retains the freedom and ability to rise above inherent in all birds. Just my thoughts. I love talking patronuses and animal imagery. Prior to Cursed Child I always imagined Scorpius having a serious, distant, and calculating personality. He would follow in the family bird tradition with a gyrfalcon patronus.

I feel like the albino peacock would be Lucius' patronus, if he could cast one.

SCB1: No, actually. Call your parents after this. Me: Calls my mother. My mother from the living room: Why are you calling me?! We're in the same building! Me: Because SuperCarlinBrothers said to! My mother from the living room: Oh! Okay!

I've also thought about it like this. We know that a Patronus is easily cast when the caster is thinking of a truly happy memory. Most, if not all of Draco's happy memories happen while he is at home. He loves it there, including the peacock. I've had that theory for a while, and am so happy that Ben has brought it up.

“Call your parents after the video” Me: *calls parents* . My parents literally in the same room as me: 👁👄👁

"Happiness can be found even in the darkest of places if only one remembers to turn on the light."

When he was saying about the soft on the inside and the sort of hard shell I thought: "Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside ARMADILLOS!"

"The Patronus will represent: the awakened secret self that lies dormant until needed, but which must now be brought to light" My understanding of that statement seems to vary strongly from the videos. In the video, Ben picks the peacock because it represents the flashy showy attitude covering up a fairly normal bird, which is Draco's personality, but I thought the quote meant that if you cover up your real personality, then your Patronus would represent the hidden personality, so in Draco's case, a normal teenage boy. Now I've no idea what kind of animal that might be, maybe a dog of some sort. Bonus Idea, do you all think you could have your Patronus be a Dementor?

I came back to this channel after about 2 years, congrats on 2mil and coming back Ben

nobody gonna mention that Lucius's patronus is an albino peacock

I find it interesting that the main rivals, harry and draco, end up taking down the leaders of each opposite side, Draco masterminds Dumbledore's death in a sense, and Harry destroys Voldemort.

Once when I was writing a story featuring Draco, I took the patronus quiz on Pottermore, trying to answer the questions as Draco. I got Occamy. And I really like this. The blurb on Pottermore is: Only those with a pure soul can conjure the Occamy patronus. Those with the Occamy patronus are thoughtful. People with this patronus can often be found reflecting on previous events and on profound ideas. Those with this patronus often have a creative side too, excelling in creative subjects. Those with the Occamy are very protective of their friends. They are also adaptive and can fit into most situations with ease. Some of this might not be the most obvious for Draco. But, Dumbledore certainly thinks Draco has a pure soul, so we'll give him that one. I think he is thoughtful, reflective, and creative, and incredibly adaptive. The one we don't really see is him being protective of friends... because he doesn't really have them... more like associates. In this case, I think of an Occamy as being... partly a reflection of yourself, but mostly of something that protects you. I think that it's no coincidence that Harry's represents his father, a strong protective force. I think Draco's harkens to his mother. An occamy is noted for being particularly fierce when protecting its eggs, like Draco's mother is of Draco. (I did it a second time, and then got unicorn. Draco's wand core is unicorn, which is also interesting. It's description as a whole doesn't fit as well as occamy though.)

“Hey brotherrr” gets me every time. You’re the ceo of nerds hahaha

Next they should cover how batty crouch jr went about getting harry into the triwizard tournemt like if you agree

Love the idea of his Patronus as an albino peacock. Totally fits his character. And I think he'd tell others it was a dragon until they actually saw it, but secretly be proud of his peacock Patronus

Favorite Animal: Dragon Patronus: Dragon Obsession: Dragons has 0 instinct to hide any part of my life or personality? Check. Also Autistic which is a weird combo for the rest I think. This is a s about me not Draco Malloy.

"Other than Voldemort" *"YeEh hEeH hEeH!"* 😂 I love his laugh

Maybe Draco should have been a Hufflepuff. He only embodied the Slytherin characteristics because he wanted to make his family proud! He was loyal to them ☺️
