The Malfoy family is a prominent wizarding family in the Harry Potter series, created by author J.K. Rowling. Known for their wealth and pure-blood status, the Malfoys often hold traditional views about blood purity, believing that wizards from pure-blood families are superior to those with mixed or Muggle heritage. The most notable member of the family is Draco Malfoy, a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Throughout the series, Draco often opposes the main character, Harry Potter, and is influenced by his father, Lucius Malfoy, who is a supporter of the dark wizard Voldemort.
