The next in a series of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2” posters is one featuring Draco Malfoy. The poster can be found below this post as well as on the official Harry Potter Facebook page. Malfoy, played by Tom Felton, has a much more important role in this film, probably his most important his “The Half-Blood Prince”. According to an interview Empire Magazine had with Jason Isaacs (who plays Draco’s father Lucius), Draco will finally come out from under his father’s shadow in the final film:

It’s also a fascinating relationship between Lucius and Draco, with him poisoning his son.
Tom had to play change as well; it was great for both of us I think. I always felt that I was there, not necessarily as a foil to him, but so they could understand who he was. When I first came along I was the sort of monstrous and insensitive bully that would turn out the kind of bully that Draco had become. So you meet Draco being such a hideous git in the first film, and then you meet his dad and say, “I get it, I see why he’s like that!”. There’s an unbroken chain of abusive parenting for who knows how long!

By the time you get to the last two films, you see Draco moving out from the shadows of his father because he can finally see what his father is. There are those seminal moments: when everybody’s back is against the wall and things are truly dangerous, I would walk over him to get to the exit door. I would use him in order to restore my name, and it’s not in his best interests. There is a moment in the final film, where, just very briefly, in my own mind I’m trying to choose between being a good father and being a loyal general. It might only be a frame in the film, but for me that was a massive moment for Lucius, and I think it’s a big moment for Draco. Those people who had read the book know what I’m talking about, but for me he becomes extremely heroic.

I for one am ready to see Draco become his own person in the final films; he’s been edging toward that development for so long!

“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2” will be in theaters July 15.
