Lucius Malfoy's Rise To Power Explained

Please watch: "The Life Of Marius de Romanus (Vampire Chronicles)"
• Video -~-
When I look at Lucius Malfoy I always see the Lucius before Voldemort destroyed him as a person and the Lucius after that is..and as great a character as he is, I think thats how he’ll always be remembered..The pure blood enthusiast that flaunted his elite status, being reduced to a public embarrassment with his arrest by aurors followed by his continued utter humiliation by Voldemort for his failures. At first, many of us loved it, Lucius getting exactly what he deserved, then eventually you begin to feel sorry for him, well I did anyway..but that was the latter part of his story, I want to talk about Lucius Malfoy’s rise to prominence and power under Lord Voldemort, I wanna know where it all began and thats exactly what I’m going to talk about today.

It still baffles me that people don’t know that Snape was good buddies with Malfoy. I mean I know it was highlighted in the movies but I guess it was implied by how well Snape looked after Draco. It was like Draco knew Snape before going to Hogwarts & their relationship was closer then teacher/student, almost similar to Dumbledore & Potter. I just assumed people would have caught onto that I guess.

[@Кря-ш2н]

Jessica Marsh it was more like Minevra/potter relationship in my opinion.

[@slothc4892]

I originaly thought it was just because Draco was a promising student from his own house and his family was rich, plus his dad had influence in the school. Then when the death eaters returned I just assumed his relationship with Lucius was an old comrade bond, actually thought he had a closer friendship with Narssisa because he was willing to make the unbreakable vow. (I did read the books when I was younger but that was over 10 years ago so I now only remember the details from the movies)

[@firestormer6052]

@@Кря-ш2н I agree with you

[@robertobendana6072]

Totally. Lucius was a couple of years ahead of Snape while they were both in Hogwarts. He was a ring leader of sorts for Snape and all the future Death Eaters, (Lily mentions it in one of Snape's memories) even though Snape probably surpassed Lucius in magical power and overall talent.

Lucius did all he could to avoid imprisonment probably because his son Draco was a baby at the time. I'm sure he wanted to take care of his family too.

[@LittleMissRequiem]

Oh Its Reo My thoughts exactly. It’s easy to label Lucius a coward for abandoning the other Death Eaters to their fates (imprisonment and/or death in most cases) while he himself escaped unscathed, but like you said, he had a wife and a then-infant son to think about as well. Based on that, it becomes clear from the get-go that, no matter how much Lucius supported Voldemort and the Death Eaters’ cause, his family ultimately took priority over everything else. Indeed, there is more than enough evidence throughout the books (especially in Deathly Hallows) to support this point, but I digress.

[@OhItsReo]

@@LittleMissRequiem Exactly. If it's one thing about Lucius he loved his family. I believe they definitely came first.

[@davidaltman3867]

Yeah. And let's also not forget that Lucius Malfoy also loved his wife Narcissa Black Malfoy, and were he imprisoned in Azkaban, Narcissa would have had a harder time taking care of their son Draco and been easy prey to other Wizards whose intentions would not have been good.

Lucius got enough punishment with the public humiliation and living in fear of Voldemort’s wraith. In the end he and his family were pardoned for 3 reasons; 1 (the biggest) Narcissa saved Harry, 2 they abandoned Voldemort at the last minute knowing they will never b on his good side again, and 3 of my thoughts, they told the Ministry everything they know and swore the truth.

[@619WWEFAN]

I think his punishments (outside of voldemort) was justified. But it didn’t feel same as what voldemort did. Especially after when he killed snape, seeing the malfoy family leave was a powerful / under rated scene in the movie.

[@Hamilgame]

I mean did voldemort really treat him any worse than he treated dobby. Full circle man. Deserved it all and more.

[@619WWEFAN]

It’s not quite the same. Lucius treating dobby bad wasn’t so surprising. But when you are someone’s number 2 in rank, someone viewed highly, then reduced to nothing by that same person? It’s more unexpected

[@Hamilgame]

@@619WWEFAN Still doesnt compare to generations of abuse endured by dobby assuming lucius' ancestors were as nasty as him and the hopelessness that would build.

[@oitnbfan8817]

I like how you've discussed something that often gets overlooked in regards to Lucius: his father basically indoctrinated him - just as he indoctrinated Draco, and likely just as Abraxas was indoctrinated before him. While I'm not saying this excuses Lucius's actions, it does give a realistic focal point as to how he turned out like this. He didn't just wake up and say "filthy little Mudbloods I want them all dead." It takes years of indoctrination and conditioning on the part of the parents to shape a person's mind like this.

There are subtle instances in the movies unlike the comprehensive details in the books that hint to the good relations between Lucius and Snapes. In the chamber of Secrets quidditch match we see Snapes and Lucius Malfoy hanging out on the breaches looking quite relaxed with each other. Another instance is during Umbridge reign in the 5th movie when she reviews his classes and mentions to him that Lucius speaks highly of him in the ministry. Also the fact that Narcissa came to Snapes to request his help in protecting Draco means that she had faith in him due to his years of friendship with Lucius.

Lucius was a man who had the completely wrong ideas, but unlike Draco, he didn't see through them at all. So we can't justify his actions on his father and nurture, because Draco had the same childhood, but he grew out of the evil

[@thecajunphoenix]

Draco also fell in love with and married Astoria Greengrass and began to take to her not seeing Muggles and Muggle-Born Wizards and Witches as unworthy. Still, Draco was concerned for Astoria when she became pregnant with their son Scorpius because pregnancy and blood curses don't make for the best of mixes. And Scorpius was "Someone for (Draco) to Remember (Astoria) By".

Seeing Lucius reduced to a hollow-eyed, fearful ghost of his former self is like seeing a tiger in a cage. Sure, at first you are happy because you don't have to worry about it killing you anymore.

[@undertakertabbert9869]

I heard he was stronger back then in the first wizarding war, he just got a little softer after 14 years in luxury he is often underestimated I think he is or was very powerful

[@jjh2456]

Ok...Lucius is a slippery character. What is apparent with him is he is only interested in himself and his. He wants power and that’s all. However, if you mess with his family, then his loyalty goes out the window. I think his punishment was watching his son, who I do believe he loved, grow apart from him. Another thing I think is interesting is the story of how he created the time turner, but didn’t use it because even though he could use it to go back in time to change events, he realized that by doing so Voldemort would more than likely be in power, and he would rather be a pariah in the present than for that to ever happen.

[@ANite-vx1vk]

It seems pretty poetic what happened to Lucius. He wanted to be on the winning side but lost both wars. He felt himself superior because of his status as a rich pureblood. He used both of these facts to gain power, use and abuse those around him. He wanted to subjugate, abuse, and humiliate those he felt lower than himself. He was happy with it, and followed Voldemort to take those things even further. Until Voldemort turned on him. Until Voldemort, one of the few who were more powerful than him, turned the tables. He treated Malfoy exactly how he wanted to treat others, but realized pretty soon how terrible it was being on the other end. He realized the people he was trying to put in power didn't care about him. Not his power, wealth, or pureblood status. That none of those mattered and his importance was conditional. Screw up, and he was no better than the scum he wanted to rid the wizarding world of. His whole world was fundamentally shaken. He was fine being the abuser, when he thought that couldn't truly change. Afterwards, by very good luck and a lot of Grace, he lived the rest of his life as a shell of the man he was, his family a shadow of it's former self. He'd been disgraced like the families he openly scorned. There's nothing better than someone being served a taste of their own medicine. Malfoy was punted off his pedestal by his own actions, and it was a long fall to the same position he put others in. Well deserved, and a better punishment than death for someone like him.

[@marie.naturallysims2179]

@@Hamilgame he never did. Other wise why would Dumbledore not have asked, "How many people have you killed in the past?" Instead of, "How many people have you watched die?" This was in Deathly hallows, Snape's memories, the Prince's tales. Dumbledore was trying to convince him to kill him. In the same memory, Snape was concerned about his soul-the same reason Dumbledore didn't want Draco to kill him-to protect Draco's soul. In half blood prince, Snape wanted to back out even after making the unbreakable vow, in Half blood Prince, Bellatrix and some other death eaters do not trust Severus based on his habit of slythering out of action. Snape wasn't Voldemort's right hand man until after Halfblood prince when he had killed Dumbledore, Lucius was, a reason why Draco was annoyed with Snape during Half blood prince as he believed Snape was trying to take Lucius's place. All these things indicate that Snape never killed or tortured anyone. Compared to Pettigrew who had without any hesitation killed Cedric, an innocent teenager. Snape had other useful skills. He probably just brewed potions for Voldemort during the first wizarding war, plus, unlike Bellatrix and Lucius, Snape didn't join because he supported the cause, he joined out of lonileness, wanting somewhere to belong and his friends from Slytherin, Lucius, Avery and Mulciber were the only ones to accept him and welcome him enough for him to join the death eaters. Lucius malfoy was a Slytherin death eater version of James Potter-he welcomed an abused, lonely, half blood, poor, neglected, muggle raised child (Severus) into Slytherin the same way James had befriended both Sirius and Remus. Plus in prisoner of Azkaban, Snape planned to bring both Sirius and Lupin up to the castle for the Dumbledore, to deal with, instead of killing them. While both Lupin and Sirius planned on killing Pettigrew right in front of three third year students.

Voldemort in that thumbnail looks creeper than book and movie voldemort

[@williamchaves1792]

I hate how the movie didint show how draco became a death eater and talking to lord voldemort

[@christophermadrigal3418]

I always loved Lucius! Such a great man! Voldemort was fooled by snap and rather not support Lucius.

[@joelucas7052]

I always love your content m8! Absolutely incredible!

[@ignatiusray7614]

I have a thought once during 2003 right after my first time watching The Patriot "this white haired guy might be the fatally wounded Colonel Tavington who actually survived the wound and going back to UK after the Independence of America, and because he could not accept the lost he went to find some magical power to the dark lords" and here go, we have Lucius Malfoy. 😂

[@joshuahallett6235]

Personally, I Think Lucious was sufficiently punished by Society however for the rest of the Death Eaters I feel there are five options: 1. acquit those working under the imperious curse, threat, or family pressure i.e. mainly the children of death eaters and other similar cases 2. probation for those who joined but did not commit any major affronts i.e those who join only after Voldemort had seemingly one and was the ligament leader 3. a sentence of 10 to life with the possibility of parole after 15 pending good behavior this will apply mainly to those followers who were not branded, cloaked, and masked 4. a life sentence for the majority of the death eaters 5. for his top 7 still breathing death eaters let them join their master and other fallen in death

This is really sad

[@dianealtheavalerapena7258]

Can you please make an in depth explanation how voldemort chose Harry Potter as the chosen one and why he didn't chose Neville please please please

[@bobbysingh5666]

Diane Althea Valera Pena no one could probably explain that. He probably just did a random choice. Or even though both parents defied him 3 times the potters may have been stronger by a tad bit

[@moonlights5231]

@@bobbysingh5666 i have an explanation... Not detailed, but an explanation So, the prophecy(dunno if I spelled it right) said that Voldemord should mark a child born at the end of july to make him his *equal* Because Voldemort was a halfblood he chose Harry who is a halfblood too rather than Neville, who is a pureblood Hope I was helpful! P.S.: As you can probably tell, english isn't my first lenguage so if I made any spelling or grammar mistakes correct me please! I love learning more😊

Maybe Finite?

[@benjaminfraeyman]

Lol that copa mention. Just that aint gonna stop them lol.

[@shuael3032]

Isnt it a hole in the plot that Voldemort is a half blood? He wants to restore pure bloods but has dirty blood too

[@kbowler9266]

A video about what if ....... found Voldermort instead of Wormtail. Mallfoy , Snape, Bellitrix. Weasely, Hagrid, McGonagull or Filch.

[@theshackledgamer799]

Here's a question: how does possession work in the Harry Potter Universe?

[@msconcreterose93]

Tyler Golden great question

[@chendror872]

Like possession of property?

[@theshackledgamer799]

@@chendror872 like possession in how Voldemort was able to maintain himself when he was weak. Is it purely a human ability or are there magical creatures out there that have it as well? Is it in the same vein as demonic possession?

[@chendror872]

@@theshackledgamer799 interesting question I feel like he could do it because his soul was split but no clue how that will work good question

[@multiplephantasms]

is this the music from the opening of scooby doo and the witch’s ghost?

[@brandanwhite5452]

The dark lord should have used the dementors on the malfoy family and had the dementors perform the dementors' kiss

[@stonedimmaculate2942]

ok lets be honest doe his wand is REALLY cool

[@DamonNomad82]

Lucius Malfoy's wand was not as powerful as some. But it was in a class of its own when it came to style!

[@skateata1]

I didn't know lucius was friends with snape. I read all the books and watched all the movies. Ice also read pottermore. I guess I'm rusty and will have to read them all again.

[@7o7im7mmt7]

If voldemort wants loyal instead of cunning followers why did he choose slitherins over hufflepuffs smh

[@westhouse4641]

dude this video makes me realize that Voldemort is the wizarding worlds equivelant of Adolf Hitler. pure bloods and all

[@benjaminroberts4306]

I’m 12 but I don’t give a shit I love these videos

[@nicoleraheem1195]

I wish there were more SLYTHERIN items and costumes for sale. EVERYbody dont like Hufflepuffs and Griffindors.😒

[@evelyn-bz7hv]

Nicole Raheem oh oOf I’m a griffindor But I did not choose that, I took the Wizarding world/potter more (I took it on pottermore). Tbh I don’t what to be in griffindor cause no one believes me when I say I am....

[@evelyn-bz7hv]

Guess you don’t like me!

[@Goikuchan]

But Gryffindor and Slytherin actually have the most merchandise! Sure, Gryffindor tops it but there's tons of Slytherin items available. And at least a snake won't get mistaken for a raven. xD ....I wish there were more dark arts and deatheater stuff. :(
