Draco Malfoy is a fictional character in the
Harry Potter books. He is a pale-faced boy and Harry Potter's nemesis at
Hogwarts. He is obsessed with the "right sort of people" (meaning pure-blooded wizards and witches of the wealthier classes) and hates
Muggles. Draco's family is economically well off, in contrast to Harry's friend
Ron Weasley's family. He is constantly followed by two toadies:
Crabbe[?] and
Goyle[?].
Malfoy and Harry tangle repeatedly throughout the series, with an annual confrontation in the Hogwarts Express where Harry always gets the best of him.
