Jason Isaacs returned to the spotlight thanks to his role in season 3 of The White Lotus, one scene of which particularly caused a stir on social media. During an interview with our colleagues at Entertainment Weekly, the actor returned to the racism of the unforgettable Lucius Malfoy in Harry Potter, and he didn't go there by four paths.
The Malfoys, racist from father to son
They are "only" secondary characters in the plot of Harry Potter, but the Malfoys enjoy strong popularity among fans of the saga. The casting of the next Lucius in the future HBO series is already found everything for internet users, who found the ideal replacement for Jason Isaacs. It won't be easy to succeed the actor, whose performance in the role of this Death Eater we love to hate shines on screen. Returning to this cult role of his career, the British actor denounced the profound racism of his character:
My job wasn't to be in a franchise. My job was to try to explain to the audience why Draco was a little shit at school. He came from a home without love, and I came from a long, unbroken chain of parents without love. And playing this arrogant, racist guy may be magical, but the parallels are pretty transparent: someone who doesn't think Muggles should mix their blood with wizards, and someone trying to restore Hogwarts to its former greatness.
Heredity is strong in the characters of Harry Potter
Words that illustrate well the opposition between Ron Weasley and Draco Malfoy in J.K. Rowling's novels: the former grew up in a tolerant and loving family that encouraged him to accept difference, while the latter received no affection and perpetuated a long tradition of contempt, even cruelty, towards those deemed "inferior". This is how Draco, at Following his father, he is drawn into the Death Eaters, a group of pureblood fanatics devoted to the Dark Lord's cause. However, to the great annoyance of some Harry Potter fans, the Malfoy family escaped Azkaban after Voldemort's death... Proof that they weren't so bad, or that life is unfair? You decide!
