Jason Isaac’s tone of voice was just perfect for Lucius. Also portrayed a lot of character development with limited time on screen; arrogant and self-assured in Chamber of Secrets to a broken, nervous wreck in Deathly Hallows
About the case with the Malfoys not being as pure blood: This takes me back to a line from Ron in the Chamber of Secrets book. After he tells Harry and Hermione about the term "mudblood" in Hagrid's Hut while puking up slugs, Ron says that had wizards not married muggles, they would have died several generations ago.
That is true but if you think about it to keep the blood “pure” they marry relatives sometimes knowing that they are related and sometimes not knowing so technically they are all related in some way
I hope in the Harry Potter reboot, that they will show us Draco and Lucius being a loving father and son, and bullying duo from the books that the movies fail to show.
I remember Jason Isaacs (Lucious’s actor) saying, either in an interview or commentary, that he was going to mess Draco up (oops). The movies didn’t give him much to do, but man, he eats up every scene he’s in by being menacing. It’s a shame he’s reduced to a mini boss most of the time, he’s a treat.
Yes! People say how abusive Lucius was to Draco but that's soooo not true. Both Lucius and Narcissa were very loving parents, even if they were horrible people.
I disagree. If Draco had done anything that Lucius disagreed with or felt would bring down the family name, Lucius would’ve disowned him in an instant. Think about it: if Malfoy was to, say, date a Muggle-born, how quickly would Lucius disown him?
I'll say this for the movie Lucius, I loved how the actor gave the character a more cool and collective attitude, whereas it seems in the books he behaves in a way that's childish and petty. Like I love in the Order of the Phenix, how calm and in control he seemed, as he had no reason to fear the group of teenage witches and wizards. But this could also be my bias towards the films
At that moment he was calm in the books too. He wasn't fearing those teen wizards and witches there either. He was cold and calculating doing everything possible to take that prophecy from harry before the battle starts.
@@Roughguy666True, but I never liked the first half of the Department battle in the Order of the Phoenix book. The battle felt weirdly unserious and low stakes. Death Eaters were hyped up as these terrorist figures that would fire killing Curses left and right, but instead they made Ron giggle uncontrollably and Neville… tap dance? Seriously? Why would they hesitate to fire Unforgivables at the kids? Wouldn’t killing one of Harry’s friends be a good way to get him to say “screw the prophecy”? It’s a weird and awkward scene that the movies did a lot better.
@@SJ-di5zu Killing any of harry's friend when harry had the prophecy in his hand? Yeah harry would definitely say “yeah screw that prophecy” Next he would just smash it into pieces on the floor of ministry. Knowing harry's character that's what going to happen next. 😢😢 that prophecy is important that's what Voldemort wants more than anything at that time. He gave strict order to his followers. His follower's won't even dare to do something stupid like that to infuriate harry to that extent.
I would have thought that Lucius and Narcissa would've thought twice about clinging to their pure blood ways after Voldemort was defeated once and for all but they didn't. They were disappointed in their daughter in law because, though she was from a PB family, she didn't believe that being pb was to be the most important thing to preserve. They should've been grateful that Draco found someone he loved. Lucius escaped heavy sentencing once again. Yeah he spent a year in Azkaban previously but apparently that wasn't enough to make him grateful to have his freedom and his family. He could've been dead.
Yeah, I think they were grateful that Draco married for love in the end despite disapproving the marriage, just disappointed about the actual person he was married to. They should have considered changing their views in the end but c'est la vie
Fun idea: You should do a video on changes the translators made when converting the books from English to other languages. It’s really interesting, especially when you look at how many ways Voldemort’s real name has been changed to make the anagram work in different languages. His first name is Romeo in Danish and _Trevor_ in Icelandic. Yes, Voldemort himself shares a name with Neville’s frog in Icelandic. Edit: Congrats again to you and the new Mrs Movie Flame.
Or missing paragraphs..i have the books in both english and my native Hungarian and in the English goblet of fire book Ron has a line about Harry that he should push Draco off a glacier..but in the Hungarian version this line doesn't exist for some reason.
The end of the 2nd movie where Lucius attempts to use the Killing Curse on Harry was so random. Not only was it not in the books, but up to this point (end of Chamber of Secrets), the Unforgivable Curses hadn’t even been introduced to the series. So if someone was only watching the movies, they would have no clue what Lucius meant by “Avada…” And also, why would Lucius try to murder Harry right outside of Dumbledore’s office, in Hogwarts where you cannot Apparate or escape quickly?? It’s so out of character for a guy who is very clever about maintaining his image and paranoid of losing it.
apparently when they were filming that part, jason issacs had just finished reading order of pheonix so that was the only spell he could remember but it does create a plot hole...
Kind of sad that both Narcissa and especially Lucius didn't realize that it was their supremacist beliefs that nearly destroyed their family even after Draco married someone who was still pureblood
Excellent work!! 🛡️🗡️ Lucius Malfoy, Narcissa Malfoy, and Draco Malfoy are three of my favorites!! (Along with Bellatrix, Luna, Hermione, Remus Lupin, and Barty Crouch Jr!!)
I love Draco as you can see from my pfp I love luna and Remus and Hermione I love all evil characters and most good characters but all potterheads can agree that DELORESUMBRICH OR UMBITCH IS WORSE THEN YOU-KNOW-WHO.
I think the book once mentioned that no wizards are truly 100% pureblood, otherwise they'd be extinct because their options for marriage and/or breeding would've been SEVERELY limited. By this logic, you could consider that blood purity is more about politics and beliefs rather than blood lineage. As in, if you could prove that your father and closest patrilineal male ancestors (such as paternal grandfather and great-grandfather) not only identify themselves as pureblood but also got recognized by other wizards who also identify themselves (and each other) as pureblood, then and only then you could identify yourself and be recognized as pureblood.
Lucius is often underestimated he was a powerful wizard especially in the first wizarding war he certainly fought and won many battles against aurors he was a beast in the first wizarding war and not for nothing Voldi's deputy he just seemed to be rusty over the years between the wars and just did the mistake of not taking harry and his friends seriously but he fended off a curse from bellatrix when she was about to attack harry something that no other dead eater except snape dares to do and he fought against remus lupin who is also very powerful and it has not been confirmed or proven that Malfoy lost the fight it's more possible that Dumbledore ended the fight completely and Lucius wasn't a coward either like many people say he and Narcissa were both unarmed and still ran through the battle just to look for Draco Lucius was just afraid of voldi and the loss of his family
I don't think Lucius was rusty. More like he enjoyed the new life and all the favors he got from it. Also I think becoming a father changed him. Before it was just him and his wife Narcissa. I also don't think Lucius was a coward. I mean everyone feared Voldemort except Harry and Dumbledore. Honestly I would be afraid too I mean Lucius messed up several times which could have cost him his wife and/or son's life!!! Though I think Ron and Hermione got over the fear and the members of the Order probably didn't fear him or if they did not much!!!
Lucius was powerful, just as all the main Death Eaters, Aurors, and OotP members were. But he definitely was a tier below the other strong Death Eaters and Order members. He wasn’t on the level of McGonagall, Snape, Bellatrix, Sirius, Lupin, Kingsley, Mad-Eye, Tonks, or Dolohov imo. Harry and Ron were even able to take him on when he had Bellatrix, Greyback, Narcissa and Draco backing him up, 2v5.
Seeing the story from his point of view is such a curious treat, it feels so much more calculating, political, and pessimistic, while also petty and desperate which is fitting for the kind of character Lucius is.
I've had a bad day, but somehow seeing this video pop up made me so ecstatic. I've been really missing these "Life of.." videos. Thank you for all the dedication and hard work you put behind you videos, Morgan.
I honestly think that the way Voldemort did the last part in the Order of the Phoenix is just amazing and truly stands out as one of the most well planned battles of the series.
Ahh what a bliss to see Morgan make character Arc videos just like those wonderful old days. The part where he says he is gonna follow the book and not the movie but still use the movie clips just scream nostalgia.
Does this mean you can make a video about the life of Sirius Black I think he has one of the most interesting backstories in the Harry Potter series plus he is related to the Weasley family and Draco Ps I am honestly surprised that Voldemort hadn’t killed Lucius by the time the Battle of Hogwarts came
Yes he is related to the Weasleys through both parents. First Arthur’s mom was one of the disowned members of the Black family for her choice to marry Septimius Weasley who didn’t agree with the prueblood values and I think Sirius said Arthur was his second cousin or something. Then trough Molly they are cousins by the marriage of Sirius aunt Lucreicia and Molly’s uncle Ignatus
@@johnni-raecalzada2500 Oh woow this is fascinating! It is amazing how we read the book based on face value but with further investigation there is a lot which meets the eye. Before we know it, somehow someway we will be told that Voldemort and Harry were related
I have to agree with the movie showing Lucius being quite heavy handed with Draco compared to books. I think he was quite strict about Draco’s school performance and grades but that’s quite understandable - Lucius would probably say “you literally have the best of everything and you’re not stupid so put some effort and get good grades because you literally have no excuse” and in the books they really do have an amazing bond actually and are quite wholesome (minus the blood purity mania, racism etc of course. Just when it comes to their relationship). After all Draco is very comfortable sharing school dramas with his dad, something a lot of kids in HP as well as real world don’t have. Even overreacting when buckbeak scratched Draco. Lucius acted in a very cruel way but I am really convinced his actions were genuinely caused by being a concerned father and not a political move (as I think a lot of people see it).
You're really good at diving into the life story of various characters. Perhaps, one day, you could try coming up with The Life of Molly Weasley (Entire Timeline Explained).
headcanon : The muggles the Malfoys did deal with were either aristocrats of some sort or high class/very wealthy so they were and some are still picky about who the associate with.
It’s actually Lucius who’s like a snake. because when he knows that one side has one, he slithers his way over to the other side and pretends like he was always there just do his connections. I’m sure the closest character is he reminds me of his Peter Pettigrew. He also likes the winning side. Or at least what he thinks is the winning side.
I’m not one to gatekeep but people who think Lucius was an abusive husband needs a new brain. Lucius and Narcissa have a stronger bond than Molly and Arthur.
@@thelittleredhairedgirlfrom6527 if you’ve read the books you would know that Arthur was scared of Molly at times and he literally had to hide some of his muggle stuff that she didn’t approve of. It’s mentioned numerous times throughout the books that Arthur lies in order to avoid getting a shouting from Molly. That’s the toxic part of their relationship, and if the roles were reversed people would’ve already pointed it out, which also is a disgusting double standard there
@@thelittleredhairedgirlfrom6527 read the books. Narcissa was always there for Lucius, and they shared everything with each other. Where as molly and arthur didn't.
I think irony is a fitting enough punishment for Lucius Malfoy. His name was _mud_ after the Second Wizarding War. Just imagine what that meant for his _blood_ moving forward.
Probably one of the dumbest things the filmmakers did (it was never in the books) was Lucius about to perform the killing curse on Harry right outside Dumbledores office... how in the love of f**k did he expect to get away with murdering a student on school grounds?!! It was so silly that I was laughing my head off!! 😂
@@malakatoutaaaaand the director, the film crew, the screen writers, JKR, the editors, publishers etc slept during this moment? 😂😂😂 No "cut! Redo the scene but use another spell, Jason"? The actor improvises and everyone has to obey?😅
In my opinion they should have all the main actors do a cameo in the new series. They should all play a close relative of the new trio. I feel like that’s the best honor possible while they’re still thriving respectively.
@@tomiglesiaspineiro8498 lol it’s a show about magos dude. Im not saying they need to be regulars, I said cameo as in Easter eggs which people love. Emma could play Susan bones mom or Harry’s mom in flashbacks. But whatever.
Draco apologists: Poor baby Draco, he probably only bullied Harry because his father putt him up to it! Lucius: Hey son, I know you dont like the young Potter, but can you please not to express that in public? It will reflect poorly in our families reputation. Draco: What's that? Antagonize him every chance I get and constantly talk shit about him to everyone around me?You got it pops!
Exactly and they use that one clip from the chambers of secrets (that only happened in the movie if I’m remembering correctly) to prove how “abusive” he is, nevermind that Draco is just randomly touching stuff in a shop full of cursed items 😂
@@andpeg Yes that's only a movie thing. Movies tried to show every way possible that draco had a abusive childhood and he's a horrible bully because he's bullied by his parents whole life. Which really isn't a fact according to the books. In that scene from books.. Lucius warned draco only for once before entering into the Borgin and Bruke's and draco followed his father's word with respect. He never hit draco for once.
I have severe anxiety & watching your videos really helps me remain calm. I've been subscribed for a couple years but I just realized how much your voice soothes my self harm thoughts. Another great one, as always. Thank you Morgan 🙏🏽🤍
During an adventure quest in Hogwarts Mystery, Lucius Malfoy pays a visit to Hogwarts as a school governor, and leaves Draco (who looked to be 7 or 8 at the time, maybe a bit younger) in the care of both the Avatar and Merula Snyde (the game's equivalent to Draco). Depending on the player's choices, Draco will either vow to attend Hogwarts or Durmstrang by the end of the quest, but completing the adventure will give the player another friend in Dobby. Whether this adventure is canon with the overall Harry Potter/Wizarding World timeline or not comes down to what choices the player makes during the adventure. Also, I was wondering if you could do another book-to-movie comparison series, but with The Hunger Games trilogy. There will be a lot of stuff added for the movies, like the conversations between President Snow and Seneca Crane in the first film, as the novels were written from Katniss' point of view. So we only really saw what she saw in the books.
So turns out Hagrid was absolutely right when he said "Not a wizard or witch alive that aint got no muggle blood in em". Lucius fits perfectly in Voldemort's circle, what with them being so judgemental of muggles and half breeds.,,, so then wait Bellabitch, I mean Bellatrix should have had hate towards Narcissa and her family too then.
No it’s good. He gets a grandson and if he got put in prison he wouldn’t be able to meet his grandson. He deserves to be free. Why do you wish he got a worse life?! Leave that man alone!
@@purpleunicorn2459he is a fictional character, relax. And your argument for him escaping punishment despite his crimes is : "he deserved to meet his grandson" ?? LMFAO 😂 you Malfoy fans are hilarious
@@purpleunicorn2459 But he was basically trapped in hiding inside his mansion for the rest of his life, and his son basically disowned him, so he did live a miserable life after DH. To be honest he deserved a lot worse though.

This is So good! I Love how you followed this story line because it shows that not only does Love always win, but even past bad actions can be redeemed as long as there is Love.
One of the subtle changes that the movies made from the books that was for the better was the idea that first-years could not be on the Quidditch teams. They made it very unlikely (which is fair), but there was no reason that a talented first-year should be sidelined just because he or she was a first-year.
With how amazing Jason Isaacs portrayed Lucious, we forget he has short hair in the books. Is he going to have short or long hair in the new series? That's to be seen.
My brain read this comment as "I've been wanting a Lucius Malfoy in my life"and I just thought "Girl, same!"😂😂😂 i guess a Lucius Malfoy life video will have to suffice😢😂😂
I would argue that Lucius telling Draco that he "should be ashamed that a 'mudblood' is better than him at school" IS a form of bullying-- or @ least, is not a very nice comment to BOTH Hermione AND his son . . . 🤔 Also, didn't Draco lie, on purpose, in the book when saying he couldn't be sure that that WAS Harry . . . Or was that just a movie thing?? I forget now . . . 🤔
Amazing video! I never cared that much about Lucius life but now I'm really into it! I'm sure I'll rewatch this video over and over to learn by heart everything that happened to him! Thank Morgan!
Some years ago there was a fanfic called Father, My Father which gave Abraxis a long backstory Another one was The Beginnings of a Death Eater witch told of Lucius growing up. Another was I Too Will follow about Lucius. The stories Play the Malfoys as being a little nicer. Harry Potter is portrayed as a klutz. It sets up some Malfoy history. Horatio Malfoy is a very dark wizard who was a youth at the time of World War II. Horatio is horribly cruel. The son Abraxis starts out mild manner but after his wife dies and his daughter is murdered becomes hard. Lucius starts out wild but is tamed by Narcissa. Some parts are quite funny like Lucius shopping in the Muggle world. Lots of ideas for fanfics.
Hi Morgan. I don’t know if you’ll ever see this, but congrats on getting married. I also really want to thank you for making amazing content. Whenever I’m sitting down to eat, bored or simply be entertained, I know I can count on one your videos, the longer ones especially. I like rewatching them and I always try to remember to leave a like. Harry Potter, Percy Jackson and other nerdy things have done so much for me in my life and thanks to you, I can admire these stories even more. :)
I love Jason Isaac's portrayal of Lucius 😊 Although there are some differences between the books and the movies, I still love the series so much, separating the art from the author of course. I love these videos, Morgan! Keep up the great work ❤
Lucius is such an odd character. Like he's this big, intimidating political figure who successfully manipulates an entire government, but his worst enemy is just some guy who leads a department with two people and an office the size of a supply closet lmao
