Voldemort put her child in danger time and again and she didn't have any loyalty to him anymore.

What mothers can do: Lily Potter - died for her son Molly Weasley - killed for her daughter Narcissa Malfoy - lied for her son

I feel like she’s a true embodiment of Slytherin, she’s that unexpected ally. Once Harry reassured her that Draco was safe, she didn’t even hesitate to help him because he has helped her son. She protects her family in any way she can even if that way is frowned upon by others, and that’s a Slytherin trait to be loyal and use any means to achieve their end. Even if she is a classist cow, she’s still a fierce mother (edit) someone actually said that I’m bodyshaming her for calling her a cow.. when I said she’s a cow, the thought of fat skinny or whatever it is didn’t even come to mind! I only said it cause it actually fits with “racist” hence “racist cow”. Idk yalls slangs, sorry if “cow” is a word for bodyshaming, english is not my first language lol (but if cow is a bodyshaming word, does that mean “bitch” is too? since the word means a female dog😂, does me likening someone to animals mean I’m bodyshaming them?? I’m so confused😭😭😭 the internet really like to cancel people sm😭) *P.P.S* Rest in Peace Helen McCrory, you’re a LEGEND. Thank you for bringing Narcissa Malfoy to life with your acting. We can’t ask for a more better representation of her. Let’s all raise our wands for the passing of another bright star

"Voldemort never knew love" and that's always his downfall. He expected Narcissa to be faithful and loyal to him out of fear never realizing and understanding that love for family brings forth stronger faith and loyalty. Narcissa is faithful and loyal to her family not to Voldemort.

Harry Potter’s most unexpected ally

Of course she was able to fool Voldermort...the concept of a mother’s love for her child is completely alien to him. He never stood a chance against it every time it was used to defeat him.

remember that harry is only alive to this day because of narcissa

and, if the roles were reversed in some other way, Lily would have done the same for Draco.

I completely agree, Narcissa Malfoy is a criminally underrated character.

I reckon the black sisters were all abused as children, that’s why Bellatrix went insane, andromeda ran away, and Narcissa was overprotective over Draco. Looking at what she went through during her childhood (credits to the movie: sister of the house of black) She turned out pretty alright..

RIP Helen McCrory. She was only 52. Great Narcissa Malfoy.

Narcissa Malfoy: “I’m playing both sides, so that way, I always come out on top”

I like Narcissa's poise. And her intelligence in owning her role cleverly.

I love how Narcissa's decision to lie that Harry was dead mirrored Lily's from 17 years prior. They both loved their sons, and once Harry assured Narcissa that Draco was safe, she didn't rat him out at all, showing another side to her character. 💚

Yet again, Harry saved by a mother’s love.

RIP to Helen McCrory, the actress who played Narcissa Malfoy, who died today. Her work was amazing and will still live on for generations to come. Fly high, angel.

Narcissa would have won the Game of Thrones

The beauty about the Black sisters is in what you said: "sometimes the road that's easiest isnt the right one." For Andromeda, she chose the right path that wasn't easy (she got disowned). For Bellatrix, she chose the easy path that wasn't right (she didn't love him and therefore bore no heirs to Rudolphus). Narcissa managed to find a path to walk that was both easy for her, a pure blood of stature and wealth, and right because she also truly fell in love with him. Narcissa is cunning, clever, brilliant, sneaky, and tactical. And she won, living life her way.

Narcissa is among the most "realistic" characters, when it comes to most people´s behavior in growingly oppressive regimes. "Just weather the storm and keep your family safe".

I like to imagine Harry’s time as a Horcrux as a circle. It starts and ends with a mother who loves her son; Lily and Harry, Narcissa and Draco.

Harry: *breathes* Narcissa: I´m gonna do what´s called a pro-gamer move

Narcissa is a perfect example of what a good parent does: Putting her child before her own life. She risked death to save her child. Though she spoiled him, at least she loved her son so much she would go to the ends of the earth.

Has anyone else noticed how Narcissa’s hair is dark and light?? People!, am I crazy or is that just the most beautiful symbol ever!

Did you see how calm draco got when Narcissa put her arm around him.

She follows the same tactic as Yoda.Making herself look weak and helpless so the enemies let their guards down and then she finds the perfect opportunity to strike.

Narcissa is the type of person who keeps their public profile discreet and non threatening. She downplays her own talents while keeping herself just useful enough to avoid having her loyalties questioned.

narcissi pulled the greatest uno reverse card in all of the wizarding world

narcissa’s reaction when Harry ‘came back to life’ “Wow gasp he’s alive I’m shook sister” And then just left with her family like a boss

The most dangerous person is the one who observes and waits for the right moment...Narcissa is an example of that type. She waited for the right moment to strike.

We also need to remember that Voldemort is an extremely powerful legilimens; only Snape had even been able to lie to him before this scene. So Narcissa might also be an extremely powerful occlumens who just hid her talent (never really needing it, since she never had to lie about her loyalties). Alternately/additionally, Voldemort could have sensed her excitement at learning Draco was safe, but mistaken it for excitement that Harry was dead. It would be just like him to be steered by pride alone and forget the power of love. But either way, Narcissa made a genius move in that scene.

A true Slytherin. Much like Snape. they both slyly betrayed Voldemort out of love.

narcissa was brilliant like imagine having to think so quickly yet thoroughly and carefully like that is incredible

You know how there are bad good guys, she''s like a good bad guy

She must rival Snape in her Occlumency prowess to have pulled this off.

Narcissa has a sad past. Though we don't know much, you can only imagine how it felt losing both her sisters. One to insanity, the other to the one she loved. I've always felt bad for Narcissa. She has had a rough life, and honestly doesn't get as much recognition as she should.

Drago Malfoy did the same thing when he refused to identify Harry to Bellatrix in the Malfoy Manor.

“Let’s hope that Potter always will be around to save the day.”

completely agree, narcissa is amazing, She's such an underrated character in my opinion, I remember the scene where she lied to Voldemort about harry's death everyone in the theatre was holding their breathes to see what would happen.

Okay but she literally started a trend with her hair. BOSS BTCH

Helen McCroy did a wonderful performance. It’s so sad that we lost this great actress 😪

She's a typical Slytherin. She looked out for herself and her interests.

I think narcissa Malloy is in the middle of the dark and the light

I feel like she probably ended up hating Lucius in the end. It was he who repeated put Draco in danger by getting so caught up in death eating. I like to think she left him directly after the battle of hogwarts

Narcissa, Slughorn and Regulus Black are my 3 favourite Slytherins. I also appreciate Snape and Bellatrix as characters, but the first three actually had some amazing character development which in the end turned them into awesome people.

She is a grand counterpoint to the sainted Lily Potter, who also gave her all, doing questionable magic ahead of time to save her son.

There was too much love in her to ever join the deatheater. Imagine her growing up in a muggle-friendly loving/safe family...❤🍀

her love for draco was stronger than her devotion to voldemort, and dare i say stronger than her love for lucius. although she was raised to believe in pureblood supremacy, i can tell that she cared more about protecting her family rather than following the dark lord's orders.

“A mother’s love is a mother’s love no matter what side you’re on.” It’s true that Draco was saved by his mother’s love just as much as Harry was.

What I love about the Black Sisters is that they were all completely different. Bella- EVIL, Married someone she didn’t love Nar.- PLOT TWIST, Married for Love Adr. Good, Married for love

If Bellatrix had lived to see Snape's true loyalties revealed I'd have loved to see her reaction "I was right about you all along Snape. You've always been Dumbledore's lapdog. The Dark Lord is so much more powerful than the weak old man you serve."

R.I.P. Helen McCrory, you may be gone but you will never be forgotten.

R.I.P Helen Mccroy and thank you for your phenomenal performance in giving HP fans everywhere an in-depth portrayal in the complex psyche of Narcissa Malfoy.

She didn't lied because she wanted to save Harry! The only thing she cared about was getting to Draco and the only way was the "victory march" back to Hogwarts because if she told Voldemort that Harry was alive he'd have attacked the castle again.

Severus Snape deserves an entire video devoted to the complexity and importance of his character to the entire Harry Potter series🐍

I swear Narcissa is such an underrated character. We all know that she's an elegant lady who's also intelligent and knows what she's doing but no they didn't gave her enough screen time both in the movie and the book and they're missing out her full potential. She's my favourite Black Sisters among the others and ALSO J.K Rowling really needs to tell us more about the Malfoy family and the Black Family. I can't get enough with these Black Sisters fan short movies tbh. Also in the end she did the right choice to leave with her family(Draco and Lucius).

Rest in Peace Helen McCrory Wands up. /*

I agree!! She's one of the most underrated characters in the series. I love rewatching that scene in the last movie, when Voldemort is marching over to Hogwarts with "dead" Harry, and Narcissa is smirking in the background the entire time XD XD

She is an amazing actress, she plays Polly in the peaky blinders

She will be greatly missed. I just learned that Helen McCrory, the actress who played Narcissa Malfoy, had unfortunately passed away from Cancer...

R.I.P Helen McCrory 1968-2021 🕊

I always assumed Narcissa manipulated Bellatrix into coming to the meeting with Snape. She needed him to help Draco but she herself hadn't the relationship to entice him or neccesarily force him but Bellatrix could.

I always thought that to her, the most important thing was the well-being of her family. I don’t think she would have been at Voldemort’s meetings if Lucius was not (at least at a time) one of Voldemort’s key generals. However, I don’t think she would have ever spoken out against him either way because I don’t think she valued the conflict between pure bloods and muggle borns the way someone like Bellatrix would.

She really said: "i have to save my sons bf duh tf"

Um... I had a thought... maybe it has been addressed... but where did fluffy go after his job was over guarding the entrance to the philosopher’s stone

There is no stark good and bad in all of us.. Like life's not black and white, only shades of grey. Except for Narcissa's hair. Then it's okay to be black and white.

The look on Narcissa & Severus' faces at the moment of the unbreakable spell makes me think that maybe one or both of the actors decided that either the spell revealed to Narcissa, or that she just figured out, that he was a double agent. It may just be as suggested that she kinda confirmed to herself that that Draco was being set up for the slaughter, but they both look as if they're sharing a secret that Bellatrix doesn't know about.

Harry: Yes Aunt Petunia. Neville: Yes Grandma. Black girls:Yes Mother. Yes Father.

That part always confused me when she asked Harry about Draco. I was like huh but after watching it a few times I got it

Narcissa Malfoy is smoking hot.

RIP Helen McCrory 💔 Nobody could have played Narcissa better.

Rest in Peace Helen McCrory (Narcissa Malfoy). 😔

My favorite character in the novels: Albus Dumbledore Greatest character development: Draco Malfoy

Dean: The most underrated Any hufflepuff: really

Rest In Peace.....

Narcissa: “Dead.” Harry later: *alive* Narcissa while running off with Lucius and Draco: “ *yOu WeRe FoOlEd* ”

it surprises me really. even though she seems okay and obviously, she cares about draco more than voldemort, (although she’s not a death eater) but it really surprised me. wouldn’t she gain justice for her family after the order of the phoenix?

Honestly Narcissa was the least evil out of all of them

Rest in peace Helen. ♥️

Wands up for Helen McCrory /* Rest in peace! Thank you for your amazing acting role in Harry Potter and also thank you for making us Dramione fans love your character more. Cissy the queen!

My theory is just that she was very skilled at oclimensy and injelimemcy and no one realy knew about it But this is probably wrong cause I do not really know

Me: *being a Slytherin* But also me: *scared of snakes* *I know this is a not a thing to do with Narcissa sorry*

RIP Helen Mcrory ❤️💐

RIP Helen McCrory who played Narcissa Malloy brilliantly.

The funny thing is before this vid I kept watching the scene when she told everyone that harry was dead 😂

This channel is always such a nice distraction from the world. Thank you Dean.

Rest in peace Helen McCrory

I think she truly was friend with Severus. That the raison she asked him (and not another one) to protect Draco. Secondly, if you look on the movie, she noticed Draco recognized Harry Potter and didn't say anything besides when he told he didn't recognized Harry and Lucius tried to push Draco, Narcissa just asked her usband to stay away from Draco. In the end, she saved Harry's life not because of him but because of Draco, the only one, who she was truly loyal : her son.

Rest In Peace Helen McCrory, she passed away today after battling cancer 🤍

Literally my favourite scene is when Narcissa told Voldemort that Harry is dead. It's just so...dang I can't even find the right word when talking about this scene it felt so powerful

RIP Helen McCrory 💜

Rest in Peace🙏

it’s abt time he’s using clips from the black sister story vid lol

RIP Helen McCrory :/ As you said rightly Narcissa Malfoy is one of the most underrated characters in the Harry Potter books/films, and followed up by the perfect performances that Helen McCrory gave.

Rest in peace Helen Mccory 😔💔🥺

RIP Narcissa Malfoy (Helen McCrory) ❤️
