Draco Lucius Malfoy is a fictional character in J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. He is a student in Harry Potter's year belonging in the Slytherin house. He is seldom seen without his two friends, Crabbe and Goyle, who are much larger than him and serve as his henchmen.
Drago Malfoy is a bully who judges people by their blood lineage rather than their good character or accomplishments. He thinks Muggle-borns should not be allowed at Hogwarts. He is extremely jealous of Hermione and Harry who always outwit and defeat him.
He tried to be friends with Harry and suggested that Harry would be better with him than with Ron, whom he despised. Harry rejects his offer of friendship. This was the start of a rivalry which will continue throughout their school years.
He is a good student, although he wishes that Hogwarts actually taught how to perform Dark Magic, not just defend against it.
