Jason Isaacs has reflected on playing “racist” Harry Potter villain Lucius Malfoy, saying that his job in the film series was to help audiences understand why his character’s son, Draco, was “such a little s*** at school.”
The 61-year-old British actor, who starred as the “pure-blood” wizard and Lord Voldemort follower in six of the eight movie adaptations of J.K. Rowling’s book series, spoke about his role as the “popinjay” Lucius on Monday’s episode of The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast.
