Tom Felton as Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter
As one of the very first villains in the Harry Potter franchise, Draco Malfoy has a lot of time to be just plain bad, but luckily, the movies offer plenty of moments when he gets what's coming to him. Although Lord Voldemort is the most powerful and dangerous villain in Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy is an antagonist not to be ignored. Draco is the average school bully who picks on Harry from the moment they meet and will not relent for almost eight whole movies.
In the book, Ron is not present at this detention because he was injured by Norbert. Instead, Neville takes his place. Draco seems to have a "nothing-can-touch-me" attitude, and Buckbeak proves that this definitely isn't true. This scene is so amazing because it comes out of nowhere. There are plenty of times throughout the Harry Potter franchise when Draco deserves to be hit, but for some reason, this is when Hermione decides that she needs to put him in his place. Her actions surprise the audience as much as they surprise Harry and Ron. However, the surprise quickly turns to relief and joy because Draco has deserved that punch for so long. It is also touching because it is done in Hagrid's honor.
What this scene proves is that Draco is all bark and no bite. Throughout the movies, Draco talks a big game about beating Harry in Quidditch and in class. He schemes and carries out mean pranks against the Golden Trio. Yet, when it comes to serious issues, Draco cannot truly perform. Though he excels at boarding school bullying, Draco is unable to rise to the occasion of being a true, cold-blooded villain.
