J.K. Rowling spoke out about her character Draco Malfoy from the Harry Potter universe, discussing where he ended up after the books and how she felt about the romanticized view fans had of him.
In her newest post for her 12 Days of Christmas story she is posting on Pottermore, she admitted she was ‘unnerved’ that so many girls “fell for this particular fictional character," E! News revealed.
While also discussing Malfoy, she spoke about Tom Felton, who played him in the films. She knew he did have “appeal” and described the irony in he is “about the nicest person you will ever meet.”
Rowling wrote that she would describe Draco as being the “anti-hero” and did say that girls usually put such characters in a ‘romanticized’ view. She said that under his demeanor, there was no “heart of gold.”
The author also admitted she did feel pity for Malfoy and the atmosphere he was raised in led him to be the person he was.
ABC News reported eventually Malfoy did not accept the pureblood views his parents did and after Harry saved him, he saw a different view on the world. After marrying Astoria Greengrass, their son was not raised with the same pureblood views his parents raised him with.
Rowling also said that Harry and Draco “were not destined to end up best friends.”
