Best Draco Malfoy Burns from the Harry Potter Books

In Latin, Draco means “dragon,” which is fitting for most of the verbal fireballs he spits out. Sadly, not all his best burns made it into the movies, so here are some of Draco Malfoy’s best savage moments from the Harry Potter books:

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

“Are you trying to earn some extra money, Weasley? Hoping to be gamekeeper yourself when you leave Hogwarts, I suppose – that hut of Hagrid’s must seem like a palace compared to what your family’s used to.”
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

“I do feel sorry for all those people who have to stay at Hogwarts for Christmas because they’re not wanted at home.”

Additional Draco Malfoy Zingers from the Harry Potter Books

We all know that Malfoy dished out some really juicy lines in the books (but most didn’t make it into the films, booooo). Here’s a compilation of Malfoy’s best zingers from the books!

“Then I’m going to drag them off to look at racing brooms, I don’t see why the first years can’t have their own. I think I’ll bully father into getting me one and I’ll smuggle it in somehow.”
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

“Father says it’s a crime if I’m not picked to play for my house, and I must say, I agree.”

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

“Imagine being in Hufflepuff. I think I’d leave. Wouldn’t you?”
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

“I’d be careful if I were you, Potter. Unless you’re a bit politer, you’ll go the same way as your parents. They didn’t know what was good for them, either. You hang around with riffraff like the Weasleys and that Hagrid, and it’ll rub off on you.”
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

“You know how I think they choose people for the Gryffindor team? It’s people they feel sorry for. See, there’s Potter, who’s got no parents, then there’s the Weasleys, who’ve got no money – you should be on the team, Longbottom, you’ve got no brains.”

“‘Everyone queue up!’ Malfoy roared to the crowd. ‘Harry Potter’s giving out signed photos!'”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

“Maybe you’d rather not risk your neck. Want to leave it to the dementors, do you? But if it was me, I’d want revenge. I’d hunt him down myself.”

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

“‘You’re joking, Weasley?’ said Malfoy, behind them. ‘You’re not telling me someone’s asked that to the ball? Not the long-molared Mudblood!'”

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

“Hey, Potter! Potter! How’s your head? You feeling all right? Sure you’re not going to go berserk on us?”

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

“‘Want one, Granger?’ said Malfoy, holding out a badge to Hermione. ‘I’ve got loads. But don’t touch my hand, now. I’ve just washed it, you see; don’t want a Mudblood sliming it up.'”
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

“‘Take this thing for a walk?’ he repeated in disgust, staring into one of the boxes. ‘And where exactly are we supposed to fix the leash? Around the sting, the blasting end, or the sucker?'”

Weasley is our King,
He always lets the Quaffle in,
Weasley is our King.”

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

“Looks like you’ll have to break it, then, because I don’t need your protection! It’s my job, he gave it to me and I’m doing it, I’ve got a plan and it’s going to work, it’s just taking a bit longer than I thought it would.”
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Draco Malfoy Quotes from Harry Potter and The Cursed Child

Malfoy also had a large role in The Cursed Child, and his character arc is thankfully explained a bit better as well. Here are our fave Malfoy lines from Harry Potter and the Cursed Child!

“Most of the time, I think you have to make a choice— at a certain point— of the man you want to be. And I will tell you at that time, you need a parent or a friend. And if you’ve learnt to hate your parent by then and you have no friends… then you’re all alone. And being alone— that’s so hard.”

“Hermione Granger, I’m being bossed around by Hermione Granger. And I’m mildly enjoying it.”

“Malfoy: Flipendo! Keep up, old man.
Harry: We’re the same age, Draco.
Malfoy: I wear it better.”

“I don’t care what you did or who you saved, you are a constant curse on my family, Harry Potter.”

“We can hug, too, if you like…”

“It is exceptionally lonely, being Draco Malfoy. I will always be suspected. There is no escaping the past. I never realized, though, that by hiding him away from this gossiping, judgmental world, I ensured that my son would emerge shrouded in worse suspicion than I ever endured.”

“And being alone– that’s so hard. I was alone. And it sent me to a truly dark place. For a long time, Tom Riddle was a lonely child. You may not understand, Harry, but I do…”

“You– the three of you– you shone, you know? You liked each other. You had fun. I envied those friendships more than anything else.”

“We haven’t become anything – we simply are as we are.”

“Harry: What did you want to do?
Malfoy: Quidditch. But I wasn’t good enough. Mainly, I wanted to be happy.”

And finally, here’s a scene that was sadly deleted but would have showed how Malfoy redeemed Harry in The Deathly Hallows: Part 2:

What About the “Did someone say Draco Malfoy?!?!” Quote

Last but certainly not least, if you’re wondering about the “DID SOMEONE SAY DRACO MALFOY?” line that’s being used constantly in TikTok audio, that particular Draco quote can’t be found in any Harry Potter book or movie…

That’s because this (now iconic) line comes from the hilarious “A Very Potter Musical”, which you can watch in its entirety on YouTube here.
