Draco Malfoy

Draco Malfoy (born 5 June, 1980) is a fictional character in J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter books.

Draco is in Slytherin House, as were all of Malfoys mentioned so far. He is described as a pale-faced boy with white-blond hair, pointed features, and cold grey eyes. As the only child of the family, he is often spoiled.

Draco's first name may be a reference to Draco, the first lawgiver of Athens who created a harsh legal code. Draco also means "dragon" or "snake" in Latin, which is more likely the inspiration for the name. Fittingly, it is also the name of a constellation, in keeping with the tradition of the Black family for naming their children after stars and constellations. The name Malfoy is derived from the French mal foi or mal foy, meaning "evil" and "faith" respectively.

Draco is played by Tom Felton in the films.
