While the main trio formed by Harry PotterHermione Granger and Ron Weasley appeared in all the tapes of the magic saga, many other characters were seen recurrently. One of the most iconic villains of the big screen was Lucius Malfoy, father of the irreverent Draco Malfoy, and extremely linked to the cult around Lord Voldemort.
Jason Isaacs was the actor in charge of giving life to the character created by JK Rowling and his work was really excellent. About his past in that series of films he has spoken precisely in the Awards Chatter podcast, collected by Comicbook, and has made it clear that The performance really takes it seriously.
“However fantastic the story was, I always took the acting acting seriously. My work was not to be part of a franchise. My work was to try to explain to the public why Draco was a little bastard in school.”
Isaacs got a lot involved with the role of evil father, even during the scenes in which nothing benefited came out. To do this, he reported a sequence in which he interacted with Ralph Fiennes in Harry Potter and death relics: Part 1.
“When [Ralph Fiennes] I was intimidated as Voldemort, humiliated me and broke my wand on my table, he felt as if they were castrated in front of my family. He was heartbreaking and humiliating. I don’t know how to pretend a performance. For me, that was serious performance. I didn’t feel we were doing something dumb. “
On the other hand, Isaacs has also approached the fact of how he had to search inside something that would allow him to connect with Malfoy’s perfidious personality. And the truth is that he found it.
“It comes from a home without love, and I come from a long uninterrupted breeding chain without affection. And to interpret that racist character – although it is something magical – the parallels are quite clear: someone who does not believe that the Muggles should be mixed with magicians, and someone who wants to make Hogwarts great again.”
Isaacs does not seem to return to the Harry Potter series in HBO, although its link with the streaming platform exists. In fact, we can see it in The White Lotus.
