How did the Malfoys make their fortune?
The Malfoys expanded their already large estate with the lands of their Muggle neighbours, and dabbled successfully into Muggle currency and assets, becoming one of the wealthiest families in wizarding Britain.
How is Lucius Malfoy so rich?
He was awarded acres of land where Malfoy Manor was built. For generations the Malfoy family annexed the land owned by neighbouring Muggles and invested heavily in Muggle currency and assets as their fortune grew.
How do Muggle-borns get magic?
Muggle-borns inherited magic from a distant ancestor; they were descended from Squibs who had married Muggles and whose families had lost the knowledge of their wizarding legacy. They would also assist the family with the preparation for going to their desired wizarding school and for the buying of school supplies.
Why are the Malfoys so famous?
Their wily ancestor Armand encapsulated many of the qualities that have distinguished the Malfoy family to the present day. The Malfoys have always had the reputation, hinted at by their not altogether complimentary surname, of being a slippery bunch, to be found courting power and riches wherever they might be found.
Did Draco Malfoy ever marry a Muggle?
From the imposition of the Statute of Secrecy onwards, no Malfoy has married a Muggle or Muggle-born.
Why did the Malfoy family oppose the Statute of secrecy?
Until the imposition of the Statute of Secrecy in 1692, the Malfoy family was active within high-born Muggle circles, and it is said that their fervent opposition to the imposition of the Statute was due, in part, to the fact that they would have to withdraw from this enjoyable sphere of social life.
How did the Weasleys get along with the other Muggles?
In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the pair were said to be nervous about being in Diagon Alley, but soon struck up a lasting friendship with the Weasley family. Especially Arthur Weasley, who was fascinated by their Muggle ways. Exposing Muggles to the wizarding world is not without its dangers, however.
