This video is amazing. Since re-reading the series I’ve always had a problem with Draco's character arc. It didn’t feel fulfilling and it was practically all lost potential. He could have been one of the most interesting characters in the franchise but even Rowling herself messed him up by lowering him to just a bully who was raised wrong. It makes sense why in the fandom he is VERY popular and why there are so many fan works around him. Overall I love your idea of a redemption arc for Draco, keep up the good work!
i’m surprised this vid has so little views lol this is a great idea. tho i’ve always thought that harry should’ve been more effected by his use of sectumsempra and had jkr not completely villianized draco, then the br scene could’ve been the beginning of a redemption arc if snape hadn’t found them.
He could have really been one of the most interesting characters and kind of show the message that it's never too late to change (I mean if you've killed people you should still pay but you can always truly change and have regrets,like Kylo Ren did).Draco could have been a major fan favourite like Loki,Rowling could use it anyway she could,even with his own series.
I just finished reading my first ever fanfic ("The Disappearances of Draco Malfoy") and it was absolutely outstanding, and now I can't believe how JK did Malfoy dirty, he really deserved more! Hyped to watch this
17:00 in the third movie during one of the DADA lessons when professor Lupin teaches them how to defend themselves against boggart all the Gryffindors stand in front with wands at the ready, while the Slytherins hide behind them, arms crossed over their chests, looking disgusted and "evil". They made everything they could so that Slytherin students looked "evil" in the most Disney villain way possible. During Garry's time at Hogwarts it looks like there isn't a single kid on Slytherin worth talking to to the point when I kinda formed a reflex - see a green tie, know that that's a bad guy.
@Coffeholic373 oh I 100% agree but also I think j.k could have written Draco having the balls to do that into the plot and it would have bettered the story and been great character development
I feel like I’ve read this fanfiction before almost exactly… it’s called The Disappearances of Draco Malfoy. (“A Deathly Hallows rewrite in which Draco accepts Dumbledore's offer to fake his death and go into hiding”) It’s been a long time since I read it but I feel like it was pretty good, and it hits a lot of notes from this video.
I have to say I agree with you on most of your ideas about Dracos redemption arc, And an end like this would be totally great. But we have to face that Rowling didn't like Draco, so she worte the end like she did and still he got a lil redemption somehow... And I think even with his storyline that Rowling gave him, he was a better person inside than Snape was. Otherwise he had treated Harry in a diffenrent way. Not just because he was Lilys son and he felt guilt about her death. Don't get me wrong, I do like Snape, but he never was a good person for me. He did alot of good things, but he also did some aweful things too.
THIS! Draco indeed said and did some awful things but he was an teenager who have grown into a racist household and was sorted into a racist hogwarts house among dozens of others teenagers who have grown into racist households; he didn't have much chances to do better or to grow out Lucius' influence. Snape otherwise was a whole ass adult who, while did good things, spent most of his days bullying children for no reason which is just insane
Can’t believe I just found this but yes!!! Ever since I watched avatar and saw what they did to redeem zuko in season 3, I’ve felt like Malfoy should’ve gotten a very similar treatment in deathly hallows. I hope the hbo max series will take there own liberties and make malfoy a great character because he could easily be a top 2-3 character in Harry Potter
I like that many people compare Draco to Zuko mainly because i am dutch and they are voiced by the same dutch voice actor. Also the voice actor of Harry is Sokka and the voice of uncle Vernom is also the voice of uncle Iroh.
This is a much more compelling ending and I feel like it fits with the theme of love and friendship instead of the “wee woo strong arm deus ex machina”
This is amazing! To be really honest deathly hallows was the one book of the series that almost made me bored to read it, the whole hide and seek on this didn't captivated me, something was missing (also, the whole scene of Hogwarts's battle making slytherins look like the house full of villains again made me sick, how could JK even try to say that not all of them are bad after this?). Now I feel soo bad by how brilliant this end could have been with a redemption arc for Draco. This is now canon for me!
If you want to get in it for the LONG HAUL, I seriously recommend Draco Malfoy and the Mirror of Ecidyrue by starbrigid on ao3. 18-year-old Draco, after the war, travels back in time to his first year and gets to redo everything. What this video described about him working with the Golden Trio throughout the Deathly Hallows is pretty much exactly what happens! But it's a LONG fic. The author rewrote every single book from Draco's POV. The redemption is AMAZING!!
Try The disappearances of Draco Malfoy on AO3. Is Dramione, so if you don't like the ship you know going in. Is a great fic where you see him grow and change his views.
I think this is my favourite vid on this topic! Thank you for putting all of my thoughts into words. I strongly believed going into Deathly Hallows that Draco would have a redemption arc. I will always think that the books would have been better, stronger thematically (for all of the reasons that you gave) if he had. It will also forever bother me that NOT ONE SYLTHERIN STUDENT turned to the good side in the books. I hate what this implies about all of the ELEVEN YEAR-OLDS who are sorted into Slytherin. Come on Hogwarts, you can do better.
I truly belive that Draco deserved a redemption arc and that his childhood wasn't all pink and roses as everyone migth to belive. What i can read of him was all he ever wanted was his father aproval, he wanted his father to be proud of him and to love him the way his mother love him; i don't think Lucius was phisical abusive to Draco but i think he was emotional and mental abusive to him, making Draco feel that he always has to prove himself to him just to get a little of his afection and atention. I think Lucius used the dungeon in Malfoy manor to death eather porpuses, like he tried to mantain alive the "movement" of blood supremacy and the ideals of Voldemort, after all, Lucius activily collects dark artefacts and uses them so he was always searching a way to gain power, i'm not saying he uses them on Draco but, maybe he showed Draco what they did and what he and his "friends" do for the "good" of magical socity and boold supremacy? I think he and his mother are pretty close to each other, but since she doesn't show up much in the series and Lucius shows a little more because he is important to the plot, Draco may have to pass much time alone in the manor, just him, the servants and his thoughs. Of curse, Narcissa still love Draco very much, but she is cold so she doesn't show it so much, not like Molly did to her childs, and Narcissa maybe is very busy like Lucius, so she hasn't so much time to pass with Draco. I want to rewrite HP and tho this kind of redemption arc; in that fic too i want to make Ron jelaous of Draco and Hermione's friendshipp, because i think if they give it a chance they could be very good friends, but Ron think it migth be something else hapening betwen them. I think it would be hilarius after Ron come back he found out that Draco and Harry are together romantically because now they got a little chance speak truly and get to know more about each other, i mean that they alredy had a crush on one another but now that they're not figthing that crush become more and more profound, and they don't wanted to die without knowing how it would be to finally give up in that atraction they feel for the other. And the Ron is like: Ooooohhhhh 😳
i don’t even know why i watched this when i have no interest in harry potter but i love this the ending you wrote about love being the most powerful magic made me emotional
Snape was never redeemed. Snape is the result of how Rowling awkwardly tried to redeem anyone for the first time in her life ever. So she decided that she could excuse present bad deeds with love that happened in the past. She never redeemed Draco, because she does not really believe in character development:-D
And I mean it. Tell me ONE character in the whole series who has ACTUAL character arc. One who develops and changes. All I can think about is Dudley:-D Whose character arc is bonded to the fact he lost weight:-D
This is your first video?! This was really insightful. I agree that Draco does not need to be like Zuko but maybe more like Anakin/Vader. He has done terrible things which makes it hard to fully redeem himself but I think close acquaintance after helping the golden trio would be good. Draco would have been a good character to show how death eaters or wizard blood purists could see the light. Andromenda did not fight in the war so she does not count. Regulus is not a prominent character. Draco is the best choice here to show how Slytherins can adapt and change.
I love this video, I remember reading the books while they were being published and with each one expecting she is gonna do something with Draco and his arc actually goes nowhere, I was so dissopointed and well as many other plot points in the series.
great video with a lot of interesting points! I especially enjoyed your proposal of how and why Harry would win the elder wand’s loyalty in your rewrite pitch. I think it’s really interesting that you gave yourself the constraints you did for your rewrite and without liking him at all. Thanks for sharing this! If anyone is interested in a more sympathetic / fully realized Draco Malfoy type character I recommend rainbow rowell’s simon snow trilogy. I love the world building and interpersonal relationships in it and baz (the character in question) comes in third place for my favorite characters in the series.
I love this idea, and really wish it could’ve come true. I think the only change I would make would be with the climax with the Elder wand. I agree that the “wrestling the wand out of Draco’s grimey mitts” is a lame pass off for the wand, but to me I don’t think the unbreakable bond would be enough for the wand ti pass over ownership. Partially because I feel an unbreakable bond is supposed to be an equal transaction, both wizards have to want it. so it'd be more like a truce than a win in the wand's eyes. Plus to be nitpickey, Dumbledore and Grindelwald had an unbreakable bond and that didn't cause any ownership transfers there either. I think a better and more clear transfer ship would be like the one deleted scene from Deathly Hollows, when Draco throws his spare wand to Harry before fighting Voldemort. If Draco willingly surrendered the Elder Wand to someone else, to someone they knew was stronger than him and had his complete trust in, that would be like a genuine surrender of arms to their former enemy now ally. I think that would be a more obvious transfer of the wand, and also show once and for all, to everyone to see- that Draco believes in Harry and no longer sees him as an enemy.
yes this!!! I came into the comments to find if anyone else had already written out my idea and this is exactly it. if draco had given the wand willingly to harry, that would have been a perfect climax to his arc, where he proves how much his friendship with harry has changed him.
I agree with this--- i feel like i would've appreciated your proposed ending a lot better. I don't think Draco was freely able to be well, himself because of his family and their beliefs. This would be legit a good redemption arc.
I admit I've read my fair share of HP fanfic centering on Draco and have come across this concept before, but I really enjoyed your version of it, especially the part with the Elder Wand. Your version makes so much better thematic sense and wouldn't feel like a cheat the way it did in canon. Thank you for sharing your version, terrific! Speaking of fic, I read one Draco redemption fic that did a really good job of fleshing out the different people in Slytherin. It made a point to show how the traits valued by Slytherin don't automatically include wizard racism, or bully, or mean-spiritedness. I long for a more nuanced Slytherin portrayal than what was given in canon. I like that you pointed that out too, and that Draco doesn't need to be another morally ambiguous character, because that's not what the story needs him to be.
This was interesting listening. I am by no means a HP fan (and the despair of fully 2/3 of the people i know because of that!) BUT something like this, if i was told about it, would have increased the likelihood of my reading it... I enjoyed it, so thank you!
Watching this vid three years after its release, but I love this rewrite. I wish it was the actual story. It actually reminds me a lot of a Drarry fic called Temptation on the Warfront.
@@purpleclaws202 creepy obsessions? What are you on about? I found this video long after it had come out and made a connection to a fic I read once. That’s all.
Before I continue watching the video, I must confess that the way JK changed Draco personality throughout the books was awful O.o In the two first books, Draco was a bully, but a smart wizard too and also a very good Quidditch player. But in the 3, 4 and 5 books he started to behave like a dumb, and he wasn't like that before. 6 book was HIS book, because the plot was about him. We all could see there that he was just like any other teenager. I swear that angry me a lot!! 😠 He wasn't treated as a true character, he just was there doing what JK needed: if she needed him being a bully, he was a bully. If she needed him being a smart guy, he was smart (the way he putted the Death Eaters into Hogwarts, for example). If she needed him being a great Quidditch player, just for making Harry looks hurried in the matchs, so he was a good player....
this is what it should have been !! and it provides the perfect opportunity for drarry to ensue which makes so much sense especially in this rewrite. draco deserved a better redemption and he easily becomes an s tier character if he had this instead of that rushed plot hole mess that jk rowling made
Really nice work coming up with this and knitting it all together, dude! 🙂 They should make a Malfoy series where he's a bit of a prick at first and gets up to all kinds of pricky shenanigans, but ultimately gets to fulfil a proper character arc like this in the end 🙂
Rowling based him on her own bullies so that's why i think he simply didn't get a redemption arch even when her own story laid it out for him to be redeemed.
Uuummm...no man.. While I agree that his character needed to be explored further.... I prefer Draco the way he is. Your version of events would bruise his ego a little too much.
“i don’t like draco malfoy” *proceeds to write a fan fiction*
That's honestly how the best fanfiction comes to exist imo
I mean lbr that's how most fanfic fix-it fics start lol
I mean let's be honest, Rowling gave up on the last book in totality so of course Draco didn't get the development he deserved
Yeah, she got lazy!
bestie you've 100% rewritten canon for me, thank you

Omg! I've read that too! It's such a good story with an organic redemption arc for Draco. And it's a healthy love story for him and Hermione.
The way this both makes Draco a better character but also makes the last book make MORE sense is amazing
17:00 in the third movie during one of the DADA lessons when professor Lupin teaches them how to defend themselves against boggart all the Gryffindors stand in front with wands at the ready, while the Slytherins hide behind them, arms crossed over their chests, looking disgusted and "evil".

We all wanted a zuko ark for draco 😞
Zuco is way better than Draco at least he had balls to stand up against his father and his nations
@Coffeholic373 oh I 100% agree but also I think j.k could have written Draco having the balls to do that into the plot and it would have bettered the story and been great character development
really well done! Draco Malfoy deserved this arc! I love Harry Potter, but I always found is "semi-good guy" arc a bit of a letdown.:)
24:30 oh man i was waiting for you to say "what should have defeated Voldemort is courage. Loyalty. Wit. And Cunning." Lol

Either redeem or him or just push him completely off the deep end with dark magic but definitely not what they did in the books

this is canon in my head now thank you🥺
Also, Draco should have been Hermione's love interest.

Say no more-begins writing ✍️
I think this is really great especially the wand part it makes way more sense to me (with the themes ect)
This deserves more likes and attention 👍🏻

Your editing skills *chef kiss* hope your video gets more recognition it is amazing!
Draco Malfoy was made out to be an blonde anti-villain like Johnny Lawrence character in Karate Kid (1984)
Criminally underrated video omg
this feels like a drarry fanfic (in a good way ofc) AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!
this!
fr when he mentioned the unbreakable vow i was like oh... i think i know where this is going
You need to read the fanfiction Temptation on the Warfront. It's basically this, but also Harry and Draco fall in love.

Its time for us as a society to accept jk just isn't a good writer and Draco isn't the only example of this
this deserves so many more views. amazing work!!
Someone send this to JK Rowling so we can get an alternate ending for Draco
Omg yes!!! This is great!! And I definitely like this better than the original!! Rlly good job!!
This was amazing
Your story is amazing!!!!
this is what it should have been !! and it provides the perfect opportunity for drarry to ensue which makes so much sense especially in this rewrite. draco deserved a better redemption and he easily becomes an s tier character if he had this instead of that rushed plot hole mess that jk rowling made
Luna and Cedric are not Gryffindors and they are heroic.????

This really is a good idea! But I think JK is just too much of a shitty writer to even come up with an idea haha
WOW

Brilliant but one piece missing is Dramione. Ron and Hermione never made sense but Draco after his redemption, yes sir
i saw someone else reccommend the fic The Disappearances of Draco Malfoy
ABSOLUTELY!! ❤
Uuummm...no man.. While I agree that his character needed to be explored further.... I prefer Draco the way he is. Your version of events would bruise his ego a little too much.
