If there is one character in the Harry Potter series that I believe should get a bit more credit, it’s Lucius Malfoy.
Okay, yes. This may (or, may not) have been fuelled by my obsession over on DracoTok right now.
However, in my defense, even before DracoTok became a thing, I thought Lucius deserved more clout. Even just for his impeccable style and taste in clothes.
As I have been putting this on the back burner for a while. I’ve decided to compile a post of the very best Lucius Malfoy quotes from the Harry Potter series!
Yes, I know. He’s a Death Eater and a bad guy but, let’s admit it; he’s pretty much the worst Death Eater of all time. Plus, at the bitter end, he does redeem himself!

Who is Lucius Malfoy in Harry Potter?
Lucius Malfoy is a British wizard, patriarch of the pure-blood Malfoy family, and father of Draco Malfoy.
Despite him having a very small part in the Potter series overall, he’s a character we all know came to know very well.
Although I wouldn’t go as far as saying we came to know and love him in the Harry Potter books and movies. Eventually, we did end up feeling pretty sorry for him.
This is because he became this broken shadow of a man from what he once was due to being one of the Dark Lord’s henchmen.
But, is he truly evil? I don’t believe so. Despite him being pretty mean and heartless, he’s just a bully. Like, Draco.
