Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

by

J. K. Rowling

Harry's archenemy at Hogwarts. Malfoy is a Slytherin student in the same year as Harry. He comes from a wealthy family that used to support Voldemort while Voldemort was in power, and his father, Lucius Malfoy, continues to enjoy power at the Ministry of Magic despite his past. Malfoy is self-important and does whatever he can to annoy or taunt Harry, Ron, and Hermione, and delights when the trio gets in trouble. Malfoy demonstrates his maliciousness most when, after ignoring Hagrid's instructions and insulting the hippogriff Buckbeak, Buckbeak strikes him. Malfoy plays up his injuries and is vocally supportive of the ensuing trial with the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures, which his father controls. He also uses his "injuries" to manipulate Quidditch games, and he takes every opportunity to torment Harry about the dementors.
