How elite he is! 0:03:09.640,0:03:13.640 As they are the wealthy noble family, 0:03:13.640,0:03:16.460 They're just like every noble family in the history. 0:03:16.460,0:03:23.540 J.K. Rowling's story blends[br]the magical world with the real world, right? 0:03:23.540,0:03:29.620 So if we look back to the History of England,[br]we'll see that the noble English families 0:03:29.620,0:03:32.480 all came from the same place 0:03:32.480,0:03:35.320 They came from Normandy in France. 0:03:35.325,0:03:38.095 They arrived in Britain with William the Conqueror. 0:03:38.100,0:03:42.100 Also known as King William I of England. 0:03:42.240,0:03:47.740 King William I was the Duke of Normandy in France. 0:03:47.740,0:03:50.775 He came to England to claim the throne. 0:03:50.780,0:03:56.380 He defeated the old dynasty[br]and became William the Conqueror. 0:03:56.380,0:04:00.160 If I have a chance, I'll tell you the story of[br]William the Conqueror. 0:04:00.160,0:04:02.960 It's a great story[br]that actually happened in the past. 0:04:02.960,0:04:06.420 And of course, the Malfoys came with[br]William the Conqueror. 0:04:06.420,0:04:14.360 It was said that their ancestor called Armand[br]was close to King William I. 0:04:14.360,0:04:18.260 He rendered shady, magical services to King William I. 0:04:18.260,0:04:21.420 He helped King William conquered Britain at last. 0:04:21.440,0:04:24.140 Their ancestor was such an important figure, you see? 0:04:24.140,0:04:26.740 And for having rendered services to King William, 0:04:26.740,0:04:28.960 What did Malfoy get in return? 0:04:28.960,0:04:33.320 Malfoy was given a prime piece of land in Wiltshire. 0:04:33.340,0:04:36.900 But the land didn't rightfully belong to him[br]in the first place. 0:04:36.900,0:04:39.200 The land was seized from local land owners. 0:04:39.200,0:04:42.660 The previous owners were banished like[br]"Go away! I'll give this land to Malfoy!" 0:04:42.660,0:04:46.360 So the Malfoy family has owned[br]this piece of land since then. 0:04:46.360,0:04:48.440 The Malfoys have always been absolutely wealthy. 0:04:48.440,0:04:52.780 They owned such a large piece of land[br]during the time that lands were everything. 0:04:52.780,0:04:56.840 Also, the Malfoy family began[br]in the era of King William I. 0:04:56.840,0:04:58.580 From the past to present 0:04:58.580,0:05:01.040 Their lands are getting larger and larger. 0:05:01.040,0:05:03.960 They own more and more assets too. 0:05:03.960,0:05:06.500 So they are very rich as we see today. 0:05:06.500,0:05:08.300 Sounds like a true story, doesn't it? 0:05:08.300,0:05:11.680 Well...let's pretend we're in the wizarding world. 0:05:11.680,0:05:16.720 They said that wherever the Malfoys go[br]you can always find these two things. 0:05:16.720,0:05:21.020 First, money. Second, power.[br]They never miss any of these. 0:05:21.140,0:05:24.600 Many of you might have a false belief[br]about the Malfoy family. 0:05:24.600,0:05:27.080 You might think the Malfoys must be pure-blood. 0:05:27.085,0:05:29.820 They must hate Muggles,[br]never ever associate with Muggles. 0:05:29.820,0:05:32.200 I can tell you that you're wrong about it! 0:05:32.200,0:05:35.380 Because the Malfoy family actually LOVED Muggles! 0:05:35.500,0:05:37.340 Surprised, right? 0:05:37.340,0:05:38.980 Still, they didn't sincerely love Muggles. 0:05:38.980,0:05:41.340 In fact, the Malfoys discriminated Muggles. 0:05:41.340,0:05:43.280 Like they discriminate Muggles these days. 0:05:43.320,0:05:47.175 In the past, they used to associate with Muggles.[br]However, they chose very carefully. 0:05:47.180,0:05:49.180 They didn't become friends with all Muggles. 0:05:49.180,0:05:53.080 They only associated with Muggles who could[br]give them what they wanted, which were... 0:05:53.680,0:05:55.760 Money and power. 0:05:55.760,0:05:59.980 For the Malfoys, there are two classes of Muggles.[br]For the poor, the Malfoys would be like 0:05:59.980,0:06:04.220 Ewww! Muggles! Born Muggles and poor too.[br]They discriminated these people. 0:06:04.220,0:06:07.200 For wealthy Muggles, the Malfoys would be like 0:06:07.200,0:06:10.620 "I don't like you but you can give me money and power." 0:06:10.620,0:06:12.740 "So let be friends." 0:06:12.740,0:06:20.000 So it is obvious that the Malfoys were willing to associate with the wealthy, upper class Muggles. 0:06:20.000,0:06:22.980 Because that's how they could gain[br]more money and power. 0:06:22.980,0:06:25.260 It has been rumored that 0:06:25.260,0:06:28.680 There was a man called Lucius Malfoy. 0:06:28.680,0:06:32.000 Not Draco Malfoy's father in Harry Potter. 0:06:32.000,0:06:38.420 Because western people often name their children after their fathers or grandfathers or other relatives. 0:06:38.440,0:06:40.820 Let's call him Lucius Malfoy I. 0:06:40.820,0:06:43.100 It happened during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. 0:06:43.100,0:06:47.020 Those of you who are familiar with the history of England, you must know that 0:06:47.020,0:06:50.560 Queen Elizabeth I was one of[br]the most powerful monarchs of England. 0:06:50.560,0:06:53.660 Her reign was the era of colonization. 0:06:53.660,0:06:56.080 And there was one problem. 0:06:56.080,0:06:58.800 Queen Elizabeth I never married. 0:06:58.800,0:07:03.600 In this story, they said it's because of[br]the Malfoy family was greedy of power. 0:07:03.600,0:07:06.720 Lucius Malfoy I attempted to... 0:07:06.720,0:07:10.380 He tried so hard to marry Queen Elizabeth I. 0:07:10.380,0:07:14.760 Because he came from an upper class family.[br]A very wealthy family. 0:07:14.760,0:07:19.080 And they're possibly a noble family.[br]They came with William the Conqueror, right? 0:07:19.080,0:07:22.340 So it's not weird that he tried to marry Queen Elizabeth I. 0:07:22.340,0:07:26.080 However, she rejected him.[br]he didn't get to marry her. 0:07:26.080,0:07:30.935 They said this is the reason why[br]Queen Elizabeth I never ever married. 0:07:30.940,0:07:35.080 When the queen was about to get married,[br]the Malfoys always interfered. 0:07:35.080,0:07:38.600 Since they're wizards,[br]it would be quite easy to do so. 0:07:38.600,0:07:41.780 And the Malfoys have always lived their lives like this. 0:07:41.780,0:07:45.455 Until the important year. 1692. 0:07:45.460,0:07:47.300 Why is it important? 0:07:47.300,0:07:50.700 It's not important to the real world,[br]but very important to the history of the Wizarding World. 0:07:50.700,0:07:54.135 Because it is the year that the wizarding community[br]decided to impose 0:07:54.140,0:07:57.800 the International[br]Statute of Wizarding Secrecy. 0:07:57.800,0:08:01.880 Like we should no longer[br]reveal ourselves to the Muggles. 0:08:01.880,0:08:04.480 We should hide our presence from the world. 0:08:04.480,0:08:07.860 We would separate our community from Muggles. 0:08:07.880,0:08:10.600 This suddenly became a problem to the Malfoy family. 0:08:10.600,0:08:12.940 They used to gain more money and power. 0:08:12.940,0:08:18.240 They became wealthy and powerful because[br]they're close to the heart of power of the Muggles. 0:08:18.240,0:08:24.500 There was even a rumor that the Malfoy family has invested in stocks, assets as well as currencies. 0:08:24.500,0:08:27.040 What should I say?[br]They has dabbled in Muggle money. 0:08:27.040,0:08:29.380 Being a wizard is an advantage of course. 0:08:29.380,0:08:32.500 So the Malfoy family strongly opposed[br]this imposition at first. 0:08:32.500,0:08:36.880 Like no way! I don't want this law![br]Why do we have to hide from Muggles?! 0:08:36.880,0:08:38.755 They were against this law. 0:08:38.755,0:08:42.105 Until one day, it turned out that this imposition... 0:08:42.105,0:08:44.540 This statute was established officially. 0:08:44.540,0:08:47.360 And the Ministry of Magic was founded. 0:08:47.360,0:08:50.840 This means the new heart of power was founded, right? 0:08:50.840,0:08:53.800 And the Malfoy family was... 0:08:54.100,0:08:56.160 How should I explain that?[br]Quickly adapt. 0:08:56.160,0:08:59.480 They could quickly adjust themselves.[br]They have a great sense of self-preservation. 0:08:59.480,0:09:02.500 They will be found[br]wherever the heart of power is. 0:09:02.500,0:09:05.220 At this moment, the Muggles were[br]no longer the heart of power. 0:09:05.220,0:09:08.620 If we want to be part of the Wizarding community,[br]we must obey their rules. 0:09:08.620,0:09:11.720 So the new heart of power was the Ministry of Magic. 0:09:11.720,0:09:14.540 The Malfoy family suddenly became supportive like 0:09:14.540,0:09:16.200 "I hate Muggles!!" 0:09:16.200,0:09:18.200 "I will vote for this law!" 0:09:18.200,0:09:20.300 "I will support the Ministry of Magic!" 0:09:20.300,0:09:23.540 No more Muggles![br]The Malfoys will be a role model. 0:09:23.540,0:09:28.080 No more association with Muggles.[br]And we are the great pure-blood family. 0:09:28.080,0:09:31.380 We will not befriend Muggles.[br]We will not marry Muggles. 0:09:31.380,0:09:35.780 We will not marry even those[br]who are Muggle-born. 0:09:35.780,0:09:38.260 Also know as the Mudbloods. 0:09:38.280,0:09:40.200 You see? How quickly they adjust themselves. 0:09:40.200,0:09:42.040 They could turn the tables in one second. 0:09:42.220,0:09:43.940 I am a different person now! 0:09:43.940,0:09:47.780 So the Malfoy family also played a part[br]in the establishment of the Ministry of Magic. 0:09:47.780,0:09:51.360 They are a wealthy family.[br]They can provide financial support. 0:09:51.360,0:09:54.440 They possess an enormous wealth. 0:09:54.440,0:09:59.095 So the Malfoy family has had an influence over the Ministry of Magic since then. 0:09:59.100,0:10:04.340 There have been rumors that the Malfoy family[br]play the role of power behind the throne. 0:10:04.340,0:10:10.220 For example, if this person is running for[br]the Minister for Magic, 0:10:10.220,0:10:12.820 Alright, I will give you money, money, money. 0:10:12.820,0:10:16.880 And if you win an election,[br]you should help me or offer me a position. 0:10:16.880,0:10:20.640 Otherwise, if the candidates they don't like[br]seem to win an election, 0:10:20.640,0:10:23.100 They'll be like "NO!! I'm gonna hex them!!" 0:10:23.100,0:10:25.860 So we can say that the Malfoy family[br]has always played politics. 0:10:25.860,0:10:28.980 However, the Malfoy family[br]has never done one thing, which is... 0:10:28.980,0:10:30.640 They have never done the work themselves. 0:10:30.640,0:10:34.240 They have never wanted to be the Minister for Magic. 0:10:34.240,0:10:37.640 They prefer being the power behind the throne.[br]And only give financial support. 0:10:37.640,0:10:40.720 Like if you succeed, don't forget me.[br]You gotta do me a favor too, alright? 0:10:40.720,0:10:45.320 This is because the Malfoys will never be found guilty. 0:10:45.320,0:10:48.365 They have never been arrested or taken to court. 0:10:48.365,0:10:53.160 Simply because they never do anything themselves.[br]They just support others to do things for them. 0:10:53.160,0:10:58.020 As you can see, the Malfoy family[br]is obsessed about being pure-blood. 0:10:58.020,0:11:02.640 Because the pure-bloods are the Sacred Twenty-eight. 0:11:02.640,0:11:06.680 Getting closer to these families means[br]getting closer to money and power. 0:11:06.680,0:11:09.420 So the Malfoys mostly associate with these families. 0:11:09.420,0:11:14.160 Nevertheless, there is one thing that makes the Malfoy family different from other pure-blood families. 0:11:14.160,0:11:17.960 The Malfoy family is smart enough[br]to know about biology. 0:11:17.960,0:11:21.480 They know that marrying their[br]close relatives is dangerous. 0:11:21.480,0:11:24.225 Their children might have intellectual disabilities. 0:11:24.225,0:11:26.280 They might be emotionally unstable. 0:11:26.280,0:11:28.920 The Malfoys are unlike the Gaunt family. 0:11:28.920,0:11:34.240 The Gaunts who are the heir of Slytherin, remember?[br]Lord Voldemort's grandfather. 0:11:34.240,0:11:36.540 The Malfoys are also different from the Lestranges. 0:11:36.540,0:11:39.620 Bellatrix Estrange who is always crazed and hot-temper. 0:11:39.620,0:11:42.060 Even though Bellatrix is actually from the Black family. 0:11:42.060,0:11:45.560 These pure-blood families keep marrying their relatives. 0:11:45.560,0:11:48.040 So their genes aren't good, you get it, right? 0:11:48.040,0:11:52.080 For this reason, the Malfoys only[br]marry their distant relatives. 0:11:52.080,0:11:55.680 Sometimes they will marry half-bloods. 0:11:55.680,0:11:57.575 A half-blood is okay. 0:11:57.580,0:12:02.280 If a Muggle-born marries a pure-blood[br]and has a child. 0:12:02.280,0:12:04.180 A Malfoy can marry that child. 0:12:04.180,0:12:07.100 So the Malfoys have lived their lives like this. 0:12:07.100,0:12:12.240 Collecting wealth and power.[br]Not only Wizard currency but also Muggle currencies. 0:12:12.240,0:12:15.660 Most importantly, there have been rumors,[br]highlight the word "rumors" 0:12:15.660,0:12:18.120 Since the Malfoys never do the work themselves, right? 0:12:18.120,0:12:21.040 There have been rumors that[br]while they collect money and power, 0:12:21.040,0:12:25.020 The Malfoys played a part in[br]many significant events in the history. 0:12:25.020,0:12:26.700 For example, the Black Death. 0:12:26.700,0:12:30.560 Those of you who study the History of Europe[br]probably know the story. 0:12:30.560,0:12:34.320 There was an epidemic[br]that killed millions of people in Europe. 0:12:34.320,0:12:37.060 They said that the Malfoys killed[br]a lot of Muggles during that time. 0:12:37.060,0:12:39.825 In order to seize the Muggles' lands[br]around their own property. 0:12:39.825,0:12:42.645 To expand their territory.[br]Something like that. 0:12:42.645,0:12:45.880 And this is the history of the Malfoy family. 0:12:45.880,0:12:48.780 So we understand more about Lucius Malfoy, 0:12:48.780,0:12:52.320 Draco's father and Draco Malfoy himself.[br]Why they are who they are. 0:12:52.320,0:12:54.100 Why they did what they did. 0:12:54.100,0:12:59.060 When Voldemort rose to power,[br]Lucius Malfoy saw him as the new heart of power. 0:12:59.060,0:13:00.775 So Lucius supported him immediately. 0:13:00.780,0:13:04.300 And when Voldemort lost his power,[br]both the first and second falls, 0:13:04.300,0:13:06.140 The Malfoys were not found guilty at all. 0:13:06.140,0:13:10.480 The first time, they claimed to have been acting[br]under the Imperius Curse. 0:13:10.480,0:13:13.000 They said they were cursed[br]and they were not willing to do anything. 0:13:13.000,0:13:15.900 The second time, they could avoid punishment by... 0:13:15.900,0:13:20.360 Telling the names of fellow Death Eaters,[br]Voldemort's supporters. 0:13:20.360,0:13:22.280 So they got away with it. 0:13:22.280,0:13:26.860 This is the nature of the Malfoy family,[br]the family that many people like. 0:13:26.860,0:13:29.795 How was this video?[br]If you like it, please don't forget to 0:13:29.795,0:13:32.645 Like to support View,[br]and share this video to your friends. 0:13:32.645,0:13:36.020 If you wanna know more[br]about Harry Potter or other stories, 0:13:36.020,0:13:39.140 Please comment down below.[br]See you again next time! 0:13:39.140,0:13:40.340 Byebye~ 0:13:40.340,0:13:41.600 Goodbye. 0:13:41.600,0:13:44.400 Honestly, what I really like about Harry Potter is that 0:13:44.400,0:13:49.920 J.K.
