Draco Malfoy is a fascinating character from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone all the way up to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. At first, we saw him as your average bully, yet as the series progressed we discovered that there were a lot more layers to the trash-talking Slytherin. He may be the absolute worst, but he is nonetheless an extremely interesting character. So without further ado, here are 10 of Draco Malfoy's best quotes from the Harry Potter series.
10 MY FATHER WILL HEAR ABOUT THIS!
This is one of the best Draco Malfoy lines because it's such a classic Malfoy-Esque catchphrase! Basically what it reveals is that the supposed school bully is too afraid to fight his own battles and he has to get his daddy dearest to do all the dirty work for him.
Malfoy may boast a big game at school but the truth is, he is just a twitchy little ferret who is desperate for Lucious Malfoy's approval. It's really all he wants in this lifetime if we really take a closer look at his character, and in a way, we almost feel sorry for the kid.
9 LONGBOTTOM, IF BRAINS WERE GOLD, YOU'D BE POORER THAN WEASLEY, AND THAT'S SAYING SOMETHING.
Draco may be a small-minded entitled git, but you can't deny, he has a history of spitting a ton of excellent burns. This kid would be an expert at comedy central roasts, don't you think? It proves that he's got some wit, regardless of how scummy he often is.
Still, the spirit of these comments are incredibly mean and unnecessary, especially considering how often he lays down these burns. And why would anyone have the audacity to hurt Neville? That kid is pure and utter gold!
8 SCARED, POTTER?
"You wish."
There was a point in time when you couldn't go anywhere without people reciting these lines. It was a part of the Chamber of Secrets trailer, and ever since then, it has become such an iconic moment in the Potter series. We love it because it shows off Harry Potter's true sass and it reveals that as much as Malfoy tries, he can never intimidate Harry. It just won't work. Harry has gone face to face with dementors, death eaters, and the dark lord himself. Does Draco really think his scrawny butt will scare Potter?
7 TRAINING FOR THE BALLET, POTTER?
Wait, so do wizards have The Nutcracker too, or...?
We love this line because Draco and Harry have such a classic back and forth. What we admire most is the fact that Harry isn't afraid to fight back and it always leads to a great set of dialogue between Malfoy and Potter. In this scene from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry is playing the Slytherin team in a game of quidditch.
Harry is not doing too hot and he's spinning and twirling all over the place on his broom. Thus, Draco asks with amusement if Harry is training for the ballet. Now we're just trying to picture Harry Potter as a ballerina, and the thought is kind of awesome.
6 IMAGINE BEING IN HUFFLEPUFF, I THINK I'D LEAVE, WOULDN'T YOU?
Draco was kind of ahead of his time when he said this line in Sorcerer's Stone because people making fun of this particular house has become an internet meme phenomenon. Although Hufflepuff is one of the most lovable and incredible houses at Hogwarts, Draco has to go and hate on it because he can't appreciate the sheer awesomeness of the loyal house. He wouldn't know how to be kind and loyal if the world depended on it, so it's no wonder he gives the house of Hufflepuff so much hate!
5 WEASLEY, YOU WEREN'T THINKING OF WEARING THESE WERE YOU? I MEAN- THEY WERE VERY FASHIONABLE IN ABOUT 1890.
Draco says this when he sees Ron's out of date dress robes at the Yule Ball. It is this line that proves to us how Draco would be a perfect host on shows like Queer Eye and What not to wear. As much as Draco wants to be all tough and bad, he's got a serious eye for fashion! Although Weasley's dress robes are wildly old fashioned, we love him to death in this getup because it just further emphasizes how dorky Ron is! We wouldn't be as charmed if he was in a regular tux, so Malfoy should just shut his yap and allow Weasley to rock the 1890s robes.
4 NO ONE ASKED YOUR OPINION, YOU FILTHY LITTLE MUDBLOOD
One of his meanest and nastiest quotes in the entire series, but certainly a memorable one. This was the first time we as Potter fans had ever been introduced to the word "mudblood" and even though most of us had no idea what it was supposed to mean, we could tell it was extremely hurtful. Hermione later explained the meaning behind it and Harry showed great sympathy for Hermione. Draco went from being a regular bully to a straight-up prick once he said this line, and nothing in the Potter series had ever been the same since.
3 THIS CLASS IS RIDICULOUS...
Draco hilariously says this during Defense Against the Dark Arts when Professor Lupin is teaching the students the "riddikulas" spell. Although we love this scene when Lupin shows the kids how to turn their fears into something they find funny, Draco won't even humor it because he's kind of just the worst. Poor kid. Doesn't know how to have any fun. We hope for the sake of the wizarding world that Draco loosens up a bit as an adult because the way he acts in this scene is just "riddikulas"!
2 READING? I DIDN'T KNOW YOU COULD READ...
This line is so hilarious, especially considering the fact that it was improvised by the amazing Tom Felton who plays Draco in the films. He says this line after he asks his buddy Goyle why he is wearing glasses. When Goyle (who is really Harry Potter in disguise) says he's been reading, Draco is genuinely surprised and mildly impressed that his friend is able to do such a thing. He once told Goyle that if he was any slower he'd be going backward. Someone seriously needs to create a book solely consisting of Malfoy burns. It would go on for ages.
1 RED HAIR, AND A HAND-ME-DOWN ROBE. YOU MUST BE A WEASLEY!
What a classic line! Funnily enough, in the Harry Potter movies, they actually give Rupert Grint shabbier looking clothes so they could embody the "hand-me-downs" Draco refers to in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. There are so many small and amazing details like this throughout the Potter films, proving how much thought and effort has been put into those movies. This was one of the first lines to prove to us how much of a scumbag Malfoy truly is.
