In this episode, we analyze the Malfoy family and discuss what should be carried over into the TV show. Enjoy!

Topics/Summary:

·      1:53 Something has to change. I’m not saying something is wrong, that’s just a fact. The books are the books and the films are the films. The TV has to show us something new, and that will mean they have to change something. They can either put in more, or less. More would make them worse and more potent, and less would draw the curtain back a little and show us a softer side to them.

·      11:03 Lucius is terrible. Should we keep that? I think we should, but not for the reason you might expect. We saw enough in the films to understand that there is so much more under the surface than we might imagine. I want to see more of that.

·      14:53 Narissa is the good guy. Should we keep that? For her, it might be worth a change. We don’t know her as well because she was introduced later in the story, so if we can change some moments around to gain more perspective on her sooner, that might be more valuable. 

·      19:41 Draco is the victim. Keep that? For sure. There isn’t much wrong with how he was portrayed. We got more of those deep, vulnerable scenes from him that really show us who he is. Draco is under immense pressure when Voldemort orders him to kill Dumbledore, and that should be preserved.

·      25:17 More Malfoy inner workings. We didn’t get many scenes where the three Malfoys were interacting with each other outside of other company, and those kinds of scenes might be the most important in terms of understanding who they are as a family.
