[@elliebelly2849]

I would say Draco saves them cuz he realizes that he doesn’t want to live his life in service to Voldemort because of the pressure and how they have been treated- he secretly wanted them to defeat Voldemort so they could just live a normal life

[@briewest738]

Can we also note the parallels between Narcissa and Lily for a moment when it comes to their boys? BOTH knew their son was in mortal danger, and if they didn't do something, then that person most precious to them would have been taken from them. One stepped in front of Voldy KNOWING SHE WOULD DIE IF SHE DID, the other, STRAIGHT UP LIES TO HIS FACE! Both ladies have a strength that at the end of the day is purely amazing! Also I agree with the person above, Draco just seems so tired od being put into these uncomfortable situations because of his father being a loyal sniffling dog to Voldemort, and I'd like to think that as they got older, Harry and Draco could at least be civil after all of this.

[@Sunny-ot1vo]

@@briewest738 I also think that Jason did fantastic acting as Lucius when he is escaping Voldemort and running away with his family. It's like Lucius just sided with power when he was younger. That this cause was worth fighting and dying for... until he found something else much more meaningful to him, Draco.

[@CowgirlGoneJumper]

Visenya Martell it doesn’t. Everyone just tries to make the world a more black and white cut place than it is and shove people into boxes. And even if they sometimes try to give a bit of redemption it does not mean they believe in it. Remember she’s stated that draco is just a bad person, not that he was taught bad things to the extreme and is now doing the difficult task of unlearning. Dark wizards still know joy and can do good just as good wizards can know sadness and do cruel things. People are more complex even in books than many tend to like to believe. Even their creators

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.

[@alinamagda2547]

Well... you said it yourself: arctic foxes don't show their weaknesses. Throughout most of the 6th book Draco did just that: showed his weaknesses whether he was crying hysterically in the bathroom or showing genuine fear when he attempted to kill Dumbledore... he was anything but strong. So the arctic fox patronus doesn't work.

[@jacobsnyder9740]

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.

[@amberambie5840]

Also to be fair Harry was kinda a asshole to Draco too. I mean don't get me wrong Draco was a asshole too.

[@alinamagda2547]

Draco wasn't a villain. He was merely an ANTAGONIST to Harry: the Slytherin to his Griffindor, the cocky and boastful to Harry's humbleness. But Draco was NEVER a villain. If you want to look for the REAL villain in the Harry Potter saga, then look no further than VOLDEMORT. Draco despite his arrogance was just... a conflicted kid struggling to prove himself worthy of the Malfoy name while at the same time not being able to kill someone in cold blood like that. A victim of incorrect upbringing, if you will. He was never evil. That said, he was indeed intelligent, very powerful and talented.

[@alinamagda2547]

​@@amberambie5840 pointless rivalry (almost) to the end between these two.

[@ivanm2225]

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.

he had rotten parents, but having two death eaters as parents and still not killing dumbledore or giving out harry on the manor, nor killing him at the castle, shows he wasn't rotten at all, just a smart kid that was raised to be a spoiled brat, but his conscience eventually started to take over, I mean the last we see of him is his last year of high school, I can't say I had morals back in high school, if those were my parents I would probably be even worse, IDK, I bet you he eventually became a loving father and husband, and a good human being overall.

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?

[@dittmar104]

Lily’s most likely changed. James was a stag because of his connection via his anemagus form prongs

[@tylerpike954]

I'm going to call it coincidence because of Snape's Patronus imitating Lily's. If Lily's had changed because of falling in love with James, I think that Snape's Patronus would have taken the "original" form of Lily's from before he lost her to James. Unless perhaps Snape had chosen the doe as a painful reminder of how he lost her in the first place. Still going with coincidence though.

[@FulcanMal]

I assume it's more that having similar or related protonuses, means that your true selves are more compatible with one another, thus making it more likely to fall in love with someone with a similar potronus.

[@kaylariggs8865]

Their patroni complimented each other because their inner selves complimented each other. Snapes patronus changes to match Lily's because of his love/obsession with her. It's stated in the books that you're patronus can change when you fall in love to MATCH the object of you're love. That's why Tonks' changes to a wolf to match Lupins. Side note Lupin does produce a corporeal wolf patronus but he conceals it and intentionally casts a non corporeal form in order to conceal his werewolf nature.

[@Sarah-xt3kj]

I think Lily's patronus was naturally a doe. I think James' patronus was a stag because he had been in love with Lily. (I wouldn't say it changed, because I think he fell in love with Lily before he learned to produce a corporeal patronus.)

Though they only use if they feel very threatened and they mostly defend themselves non-lethally and flee.

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.

[@mas88rus]

Such an embarassing experience would guarantee that it could never be his patronous. A patronous is created from your most powerfully happiest memory. That was the opposite of a happy memory for Draco.

[@awesomeappaloosa7583]

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

[@ashtynplunkett8572]

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

[@patyimatador]

True

[@fatima_nadeem]

Makes sense

[@sroy6002]

I agree with this even more than the peacock idea...wow...this is some real thoughts

[@bartvanderpol6076]

Hi, I really enjoy speculating on these topics. I think we all can agree that Draco's patronus would have to be something opposing Harry, but ultimately is not working against him. In Malfoy Manor, as said, he choses to protect the trio by saying he doesn't know who they are, even though it's clear that he does. He chooses to help. I like the idea of a thestral being an opposite of both a hippogiff and a phoenix, both connecting to Harry. MovieFlame has done a very interesting video on how thestrals and unicorns are also opposing creatures (link down below). Draco's wand core is unicorn hair, whereas the Elder Wand holds thestral hair and Harry's wand is obviously phoenix feather. -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5DQiWyHgq6Mo6c So creatures associated with Harry: hippogriff, phoenix (perhaps unicorn as a symbol for goodness) and creatures associated with Draco could then be: thestral, especially since in the video by MovieFlame it is emphasised that it is not by definition an evil creature, despite being associated with death. It is also very gentle once you get to know them. I think that ultimately counts for Draco as well, during the battle of Hogwarts he was only there to protect his family and when they had the chance, they left the side of the Death Eaters. Cowardly? Perhaps, but also a good choice. Thestrals are very misunderstood creatures, and only truly reveal themselves to some people. Most people in the wizarding community don't even know they exist. We did not know Draco's good side either, until he showed it in the moment when it was most crucial.

[@bartvanderpol6076]

I can also agree that the (white) peacock would be a patronus in the Malfoy family. The theory stands, but thinking about it now, it would indeed make a perfect match for Lucius as well. He's always showing off and tries to impress Voldemort and the other Death Eaters. He's pretending to be important all the time, being School Governor of Hogwarts and being friends with Cornelius Fudge. He was also a Prefect and member of the Slug Club (always showing off his Lucius feathers? Pun intended). He's always pretending to be more than he is, trying to impress everyone. The peacocks at Malfoy Manor are a perfect representation of his character.

[@CupcakeKitty]

@ 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.

[@josephdillard9907]

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.

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.

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.

[@medievalist]

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

[@akiriith]

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.

[@maruartola]

I have to say that I totally agree with you, I was like hippogriff! And then like, what?

[@akiriith]

Maru Artola yea!! Their reasoning is on point but I think they got too sidetracked by the whole "peacock is a fake phoenix" thing to really follow through with the inner self thing, which honestly doesnt hold up as well. Oh well! I'll just stick to my headcanons for this one |D

[@SpecklesTheLeopard]

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.

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'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.

[@CalderaWolf]

"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?

[@Ellie_16]

I think mabey if Bellatrix had a patronus I would be a dementor concidereing how rotten they both are and what they did is very close on the bad spectrum at the very top so, yes I do belive someone could have the patronus of a dementor and I belive that could be Bellatrix

[@MangertEternal]

Yah that’s exactly how I understood that as well! I think Ben described his hidden self as a normal kid, but from what myrtle said it seemed like his hidden self (for a lot of men) is just a vulnerable very emotional guy. So what’s an emotionally vulnerable creature who feels Deeply? A quick google search would suggest a dolphin or elephant. An elephant (the strongest creature in our non-magical world) would be a pretty dope patronus

[@shrutimahant]

@@MangertEternal I thought the same. I think his true self is very pure and sensitive that he hides from the world. Unicorns are a symbol of purity and sensitive around people and only let the ones they trust get close (like Myrtle) and his wand core is unicorn hair. So his patronus could very well be a unicorn.

[@lc2341]

@Shruti Maliant yo I actually like your theory better. 10/10 Draco’s patronus is a unicorn
