Malfoy’s Plot In Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, the sixth part's movie is due to release on 15 July 2009, almost 4 years after the book's release. The Potter fans are biding their time and are impatiently waiting for it. They are expecting it to be more similar to the book as claimed by the director, David Yates.

Like the previous parts, Tom Felton plays Draco's character. He has acted out the character flawlessly and is expected to be back in this part as well with the same zeal.

Draco Malfoy is a class fellow of Harry and in the Slytherin house. He belongs to a rich family of purebloods, the Malfoys. They were very proud of their wealth and the fact that they were purebloods. They were also known to be one of the most trusted followers of Voldemort. Draco and Harry have never gotten along since the day they met. Harry snubbed him when he tried to break Harry's and Ron's friendship. Draco felt offended and has been against him ever since. When in school, Draco had always tried to get Harry in trouble.

In this part, Draco has been given a task by Lord Voldemort of carrying out the murder of Hogwarts headmaster, Dumbledore. Draco's mother, Narcissa Malfoy, was worried for her son and thought that he might be killed. Therefore, she took him to Professor Snape's house and asked him to take care of him.

Harry, in the Hogwarts Express, spies on Draco while he was talking about the orders given to him by Voldemort. He notices Harry and immobilises him and breaks his nose. Since then Harry became suspicious of him and kept track of him throughout the year. He also warns Dumbledore about him but he refuses to take any action against him. During his sixth year, Draco also attempts to harm other students in Hogwarts. He tried to kill Katie Bell, a Gryffindor student, using a cursed necklace in Hogsmeade. Ron nearly died when he drank poisoned mead. In New Harry Potter Film, Harry suspected Draco to be behind these attacks.

Draco, being jealous of Harry's friends' support for him, led him to somehow become friends with Moaning Myrtle. Once in her bathroom, Harry spotted him, crying. Draco tried to attack him, but Harry was quicker and cast the Sectumsepra spell, which he learned from the Half Blood Prince's notebook. Draco was severely wounded, and he lost a lot of blood. Snape, when heard Moaning Myrtle's screams, showed up on the scene and healed him.

Draco also tries to kill Dumbledore as ordered by Voldemort. When Dumbledore was at the Astronomy tower with Harry, he put the body-binding curse on him and put him under the invisibility cloak. Draco arrives at the scene. There he reveals that he was the one who tried to kill Katie Bells and Ron. He also told him that he fixed the Vanishing Cabinet to let in the Death Eaters. Then, the Death Eaters and Snape accompany him who murders Dumbledore on the spot.

Draco Malfoy has been a very important figure in the whole story. He has been allowing ways for Death Eaters to get into the school and trying to kill fellow students also. Without him, the movie would not be thrilling.
