History of the Malfoy Family (Full Origins) - Harry Potter Documentary
Manage episode 424323475 series 3357092
"It is often said of the Malfoy family that you will never find one at the scene of the crime, though their fingerprints might be all over the guilty wand. Independently wealthy, with no need to work for a living, they have generally preferred the role of power behind the throne, happy for others to do the donkey work and to take the responsibility for failure. They have helped finance many of their preferred candidates’ election campaigns, which have (it is alleged) included paying for dirty work such as hexing the opposition."
These few sentences…Actually sum up the Malfoy family pretty well.
Because you see, throughout Wizarding history the Malfoy family have consistently leveraged their immense wealth in order to exert influence and power within wizarding society.
The descendants of a LONG line of pure-blood wizards, the Malfoys have long pulled the monetary puppet strings, playing a significant role in shaping the power dynamics and societal norms within the magical community.
From their impressive ancestral home to their penchant for dark magic and discriminatory ideologies, it’s safe to say that the Malfoys have left an indelible and controversial mark on the wizarding world.
Come to think of it..Stain might be a better word to use.
Join me today as we discuss the history of this infamous Wizarding family, taking a closer look at where they came from, how they created their fortune, and how they made their mark on wizarding history.
Let’s dive in.
