Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. When we're first introduced to Lucius Malfoy, our initial impressions are that he is a wealthy and pompous supporter of Lord Voldemort. He is portrayed as an arrogant, haughty, and elitist man with a strong sense of superiority. He exhibits a disdain for those he perceives as beneath him, particularly Muggle-borns and anyone who opposes his pure-blood ideology. He's also influential and manipulative, using his wealth and power to advance his personal agenda.
However, over the course of the series, our impression of Lucius Malfoy changes significantly, and this perceived sense of 'power' that he previously exuded seems to fall off of a cliff.
Fast forward just a few books and Lucius Malfoy no longer displays.. any kind of power or influence. Lucius, who was once confident and haughty, is now portrayed as fearful and desperate- a broken man who has completely lost control of his life.
Today I want to explore what exactly happened to Lucius Malfoy, and analyze all of the events (in order) that contributed to the destruction of a man of his stature.
Let's dive in.
