"As a series-length adaptation of Rowling's first novel, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, the first season of the Harry Potter series will have a much larger canvas on which to tell its story. That means the reboot will contain some new additions - and according to Lox Pratt, who plays Potter's arch-rival, Draco Malfoy, in the series, those additions include more backstory for one of the most loathed characters in the Wizarding World."
"Draco is one of the most ostensibly insufferable characters in the book series, largely thanks to his upbringing. He's constantly picking on heroes like Harry and his Muggle-born friend, Hermione Granger, slinging slurs that he no doubt learned at home. The HBO series will likely use its stretched screentime to unpack why Draco is the way that he is - but it"
The HBO reboot of Harry Potter has drawn criticism for casting choices and for J.K. Rowling's ongoing involvement. The series adapts Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone across a full season, expanding runtime to add new scenes and character detail. Lox Pratt, who plays Draco Malfoy, says the show will include scenes of Draco at home that reveal more about his upbringing. The expanded backstory aims to explain Draco's bullying, bigotry, and learned slurs, and may set up a possible redemption arc. The portrayal emphasizes how parental dogma shapes a child's attitudes while retaining Draco's role as an antagonistic figure.
