Why Narcissa Hated Voldemort 

I've always seen Narcissa Malfoy more as like a more condescending female Slughorn. She's certainly believe that there was a hierarchy based on blood purity and she certainly believed in maintaining that hierarchy. But I don't believe that she was inherently as much of a militaristic blood Purist as her husband. I feel like she just accepted that that was his view of the situation and as long as her and her family were safe she didn't care that hard. She was willing to lie straight to the Dark Lord's face about Harry Potter being there in Malfoy Manor at all. Because I'm sure Lucius Malfoy recognized him and told his wife but they agreed amongst themselves that it was best not to expose Harry Potter and give up their one chance of being rid of Voldemort. She lied to him about Harry being dead in the forest. It was ultimately Narcissa's wand that Harry used to defeat Voldemort. I have to believe that by the time that happened they were very much ready for this war to be over and were doing everything they thought they could get away with to sabotage Voldemort from inside. Even if it was only to save their own necks the strategy was effective. Harry Potter was saved by a mother's love twice. First by his own Mother's sacrifice and second by Narcissisa greater love for Draco then for any blood Purity cause. Personally I think she took a morbid satisfaction in the fact that it was her wand that Harry had used to kill Voldemort. She could never Strike Back Against Voldemort herself it wouldn't have achieved anything. But by providing the wand that did, she could contribute.

These ppl u speak of are a blight on humanity

You see her only as a wife and Mother. I think, as an individual, she was as committed to Pure Blood Supremacy as her sister Bellatrix and her husband Lucius. She was as prepared to commit the same horrors as Bellatrix, probably. Lucius was committed to himself, his riches and his family (probably in that order). Because he gained advantages from his inherited Pure Blood Supremacy (and the Malfoys were at least as anti-muggle as the Blacks), Lucius was more than happy to follow (and probably fund) Voldemort's First rise. The disappearance of Voldy after the encounter with the Potters in Godric's Hollow enabled Lucius to go back to his abiding loves - self, wealth & family, while still keeping up his anti-muggle campaigns (witness his opposition to Arthur Weasley's Muggle Protection Act in The COS). Narcissa was a more than willing backer and supporter of Lucius in his efforts (witness her reaction to Harry when he meets Draco in Madam Malkins). Neither of them was too upset when, after the events of GOF, Voldemort returned, though, probably not delighted to have him as a house guest (after all, Both were High Born (or at least considered themselves as such)) and Voldy tended to treat ALL his followers as Servants. Both Lucius and Narcissa were arrogant to their core, and being treated as a Servant in their own house probably wasn't pleasant. On the upside, Lucius was the top Death Eater at that stage and Narcissa certainly enjoyed the prestige that brought. And she also got her elder sister out of Azkhaban. Definitely a win-win. Then Lucius FAILED in the Department of Mysteries and he ended up in Azkhaban. Suddenly, Narcissa is on the outs with the Death Eaters, Voldemort (probably still a House "Guest") is more than likely constantly reminding her about Lucius's failure AND she has to attend Lucius's trial. Humiliation on Humiliation on Humiliation. For the arrogant Narcissa, it must have seemed like Hell. And then Draco gets his "task". And suddenly, Narcissa realizes what Hell really feels like. (It's probably also worth noting that while she is aware of the task Draco was given, Draco excludes her from what he's planning (In the books, unlike the movie, Draco visits Borgin & Burke's WITHOUT "Mummy" (as Ron calls her)). While Narcissa has recruited Snape to help Draco, Draco seems unwilling to confide in ANYONE (though he probably does HAVE to give Voldy "Progress Reports".) In the end, Draco fails, though Dumbledore does end up dead, (and here's the bit where I'm confused), despite Draco's failure on top of Lucius's earlier failure (and Voldemort HATES failure), Voldemort still breaks Lucius out of Azkhaban. (It is most unlike him to "Reward" failures.) So despite her fears, by the end of the HBP, Narcissa has her Husband and Son alive and back with her. But Voldy ISN'T going to let Lucius off that lightly. He seems to take delight in Publicly HUMILIATING Lucius and any pretence that he was a "House Guest" is over - he is the True Master of Malfoy Manor and he has even turned the Cellar into a make-shift secret prison. The glimpses of Narcissa we get in the DH show a Woman stripped of her previous arrogance. But let's not kid ourselves here. Her lack of enthusiasm for Voldemort and his New Order is NOT any renouncing of her previously held beliefs. In fact, we see no sign that she opposes Voldemort's methods (unlike, for instance Sirius's parents), never mind his goals. No. Narcissa's ONLY issue is that she is no longer Lady of the Manor, merely one of Voldemort's Servants and subjected to HIS arrogance and that is unbearable to her (Bellatrix, on the other hand LOVES the role). So IF Narcissa ever grew to "Hate" Voldemort, it was only because he Humiliated her and her marital Family. Given that Voldemort was doing FAR worse to Many, Many other families, our sympathy for Narcissa (or ANY of the Malfoys) should diminish accordingly

It's like white people who are complicit and silent against racism. As long as it doesn't affect them they turn a blind eye to the racism.

@Veronica Rainone My comment was referring to white people. Don't try to "All Lives Matter" my comment. Plus I've only experienced racism from whites. Sorry you're offended snowflake, not sorry!

I don't think she was loyal more indifferent. I think she saw what he turned her sister into and hated/feared him.

She wasn't a Death Eater, though, maybe an "honorary" one at best but she didn't have the mark.

She was "death eater associated" lol

she was no death eater.

She wasn't a death eater. She never took on the mark.

She was not a Death Eater.

Good number of them were also ones that supported him, mainly the wealthy Pure Blood families, and then there is... Bellatrix

How many of Voldemort's followers knew he was a half-blood? He descends from the Gaunts, but in the female line.

Voldemort could be very carismatic and persuasive when he wanted, but he would rather control people through fear and power because at the end he only truly believe on that.

@@gidzmobug2323 I believe the closest and more intelligent members of the Death Eaters knew about his blood status, but decided to ignore it due to their mentality of Magic power = Blood purity.

@@gidzmobug2323 Most of them did. The night he came back in Goblet of Fire he summoned them to a muggle graveyard and told them: "I needed my fathers' bones for my ressurection, this is why we are here." This was a big clue his father was not a wizard. Besides he told Barty Crouch jr. about his father and told Harry the story with Wormtail being there.

Thats not love, its discrimination and selfishness. Real love is a state of being flowing to all beings in the universe and seeing them all equally. Not giving a shit about others predicament but only of urself ur son and husband is NOT love (in the deepest sense).

Voldemort greatest mistake was focusing on feeding his ego and not his following through on his goals. He constantly disrespected and/or put his most loyal followers into no win situations as a way to better control them and his other followers. This eventually created resentment for constant disrespect and recklessness among his followers in taking risks to try to succeed in no win situations.

I thought no curse Voldemort cast worked on anyone, because Harry sacrificed himself like his mother did.

@@Jenifer_R_ yes that’s right. But Dean said in the video and I’m paraphrasing “Harry was able to convince Voldemort he was dead even while having the excruciating Cruciatus curse cast on him” but Harry said to himself when Voldemort cast it on him that it didn’t hurt if anything it kinda tickled. That’s all I was pointing out. But you’re certainly right. But I keep remembering Voldemort casting Crucio on Neville at Hogwarts and it hurting him so maybe it was he couldn’t kill them but now my memory is foggy. Been awhile since I’ve read DH

@ToxicRakyat Great post! I would have loved to debate you on Potter theory back before OOTP came out!! (That's when I was at my most rabid)

@@JCFuller442 Did he cast it on Neville, or just chuck a fiery Sorting Hat on his head? I remember Harry telling "Tom" (he was being delightfully disrespectful at the time) his spells weren't landing on anyone 'for some reason'. But yes, JK put a lot of emphasis on wand lore in DH, so it is likely that a strong mix of both 'No, that's my wand' and 'Uber Spell' boosted Harry's immunity.

@@Jenifer_R_ he did that but I also remember Neville being levitated upside down and tortured. But again that could also be me misremembering lol

Great headcanon.

I don’t think Voldemort cared that much about the diary after all that horcrux was more a weapon than a lifesaver otherwise he would tell Lucius to keep it in the family vault or something 🤔

@@annikalava17 actually voldemort told him to keep it safe. Lucius didn't know what it was, just that it was filled with dark magic. Luciud was conceived Voldemort was dead so gave it to Ginny to humiliate Arthur

It's sad that the actress that played Narcissa has died.

Perfect scene both in the book AND in the movie, which is rare lol

@@laureprivat2368 To be honest, in the movie the exchange with Harry is so silent (as it should be), that most people completely miss it and are completely flabbergasted when they find out that Harry's alive! lol I mean, I only heard it because I knew what would happen! So, that's why I prefer the book version!

Drink some pyjuice potion make myself look like a inoccent little girl.... wait till Harry appears to get on train and 💥 ...

Matter of fact polyjucie potion would have solved a lot of his problems...he could have use snape's hair .. took the potion then walked 🚶‍♂️ right into hogwarts and got harry

He could have used it for the department of mysteries and got the prophecy......

You're right I totally agree with you few people only can see it or understand it...

I don’t think Bellatrix did all that for the Malfoys but rather bc it wouldn’t look good for Bellatrix if one of her sister married a muggleborn (which she did get teased about) and one who betrayed Voldemort 🤷‍♀️

Look at us. If I was a wizard I'd run.

Look How the muggle world is. Do you really think a minority with magical Powers would accepeted by It?

Oh she's no hero, but she did accidentally save Harry.

She wasn't that strong internally

The simple fact of the matter is not everyone is Noble at heart and not everyone cares until it affects their family directly. That is what Narcissa is meant to portray. Her name literally comes from the word narcissistic

@@angelwhispers2060 true, but that doesn’t make her a good person.

@@patax144 that’s the problem.

Yea he did, he told Mr Weasley "I'll see you at work" in Chamber of Secrets. Mr Weasly worked in the Muggle department at the Ministry.

@@AWindy94 that nay be. But he could nean that he knew where Mr. Weasley worked.

In the book she felt his heart beat so she knew he was alive

@@hadhiqahsaghir7629 was it ? my bad then.. i see, thanks for the correction, bcs that scene in the movie was different than the book.

@@kellenmoon3084 in the movie, Harry nods when she asks the question, as us audience can't feel the heartbeats of course. It's the tiniest of nods, but she still sees it, therefore that's how she knows Harry's alive and then lies.

"3 months since I first requested this" Being passive aggressive and self-centered isn't going to get you what you want. You can keep asking without the snark and eventually he might get to it, you aren't even close to the only one who requests videos from him on a daily basis.

@@Sp3c9000 I'm not being snarky and self centered. I also stopped asking for a while because he hearted my comment a while back which means that he saw it. I think he might have forgotten about the idea due to all of the content that he is trying to put out on this channel and his other channel so I thought I would remind him. I'm being snarky lol

In the Chamber of Secrets Lucius Malfoy tells Mr. Weasley that he will "see him at work" so I think he does work with the ministry.

@@AWindy94 that's only a line Oscar Isaacs added by himself while filming. In the book Arthur Weasley engaged on a punch fight with Lucius, after he insulted his family.

Her sister and her husband do, so then she would also come into contact with it and then it should be possible

Agreed what he did there was bad.

He tells Mr Weasley that he'll "see him at work" in Chamber of Secrets.

@@AWindy94 I totally forgot that completely

🤔
