Draco Malfoy
The father of Draco Malfoy. It is revealed that Lucius was a big supporter of Voldemort, but after Voldemort’s fall, he claimed that he was bewitched while Voldemort was in power. Lucius is incredibly prejudiced against Muggles, Muggle-borns, and anyone sympathetic to Muggles, and he instills this prejudice in Draco as well. Lucius particularly dislikes Mr. Weasley because part of his work at the Ministry involves protecting Muggles. Lucius plants Tom Riddle’s diary in Ginny’s books at Flourish and Blotts, knowing that if Ginny is caught opening the Chamber of Secrets and sending the basilisk to attack Muggle-borns, it could endanger Mr. Weasley’s Muggle Protection Act. Throughout the book Lucius uses his position of power as a school governor to manipulate the rules, first putting pressure on Fudge to take Hagrid to Azkaban, and then threatening the other governors to support him in removing Dumbledore from his post. At the end of the book, Harry tricks Lucius into freeing his house-elf Dobby, which infuriates Lucius.
