Narcissa Malfoy

Narcissa Malfoy (née Black) is the wife of Lucius Malfoy and the mother of Draco Malfoy, sister of Bellatrix Lestrange, and aunt to Nymphadora Tonks

Born Narcissa Black to Cygnus Black and his wife, Druella (née Rosier). Narcissa is, as are all Blacks, prejudiced against non-purebloods and she was surely taught these prejudices from childhood. Her older sisters are Bellatrix Lestrange (née Black) and Andromeda Tonks (née Black). She is the aunt of Nymphadora Tonks though she may not acknowledge this connection, because of her being the daughter of Muggle-born Ted Tonks and Andromeda Black, who was disowned for marrying him.

She is described as being nice looking, but having an expression that suggests that something foul smelling is under her nose. She is a tall and slim and very pale, blue-eyed blonde who resembles her sister Bellatrix. Narcissa completed her education at Hogwarts, where she was in Slytherin house. She later married Lucius Malfoy, a Death Eater and heir of a wealthy pure-blood family, and they had one son, Draco. They reside in a manor house in the southern English county of Wiltshire. Narcissa is first introduced in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire during the Quidditch World Cup. She is later seen in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, when she comes with Bellatrix to Severus Snape in order to talk to him about Voldemort's plan of Draco killing Albus Dumbledore. Narcissa asks Severus to make an Unbreakable Vow, which would ensure that Snape takes care of Draco as he tries to accomplish the task given to him. She appears later as she shops with Draco in Diagon Alley. Narcissa confronts Harry in Madame Malkin's shop. After a heated argument she leaves with her son and is never seen again in that book.

It has been rumored that British-born, Australian-raised actress Naomi Watts will portray Narcissa in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. However, this has since been refuted by Watts' representatives. Irish actress Alison Doody has also been considered.

Naricissa was proven, in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to have a very strong attachment to her son. She helps Harry defeat Lord Voldemort in turn for information of Draco's whereabouts, and she and her husband, in the Battle for Hogwarts, 'Did not bother fighting, but merely ran off, screaming for their son.' In the end they were shown in the Great Hall as if they werent sure to be there or not but nobody said anything. She lied to Voldemort saying Harry was dead after he said Draco was alive.
