Narcissa Malfoy

I hate Narcissa with a vengence though I think there is something with her that we dont know, something which may involve snape or even voldemort. I dont think she is the simplistic character that some people believe

She is not pure evil like her sister Bella, because shje shows love and caring towards Draco..

Quote :

Her name is derived from the mythical figure Narcissus, whose name is both the origin of the word narcissism and the name of the narcissus, a small, fragrant flower. Note that there several poisonous varieties of the narcissus flower. In one version of the myth, Narcissus fell into the pool in which he saw his beloved reflection, and died of a broken heart as he kept fading. Interestingly, in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince [2], it is noted that "the long blonde hair streaming down her back gave her the look of a drowned person" in the darkness at Spinner's End. Another myth suggests that Narcissus wasted away after falling in love with his own reflection. The character Narcissa cares greatly for aesthetics in addition to purity and nobility of blood. Narcissa is nicknamed "Cissy" by her sister Bellatrix, whom Narcissa calls "Bella."

That was interesting to read actually - I have never looked into the meaning of her name even though we know JK names things places and people for their hidden meanings.
One thing I picked up on though is this:

An this I believe she is - poisonous!

I thought that was interesting too.

Narcissa is a type of daffodil too

Daffodils are poisonous, and if eaten could result in death.[1]

intersting...

I really like Narcissa's character. She is a stuck up snob, yes, but she loves her son. She has feelings of something more than hatred.

I honestly think she will end up being on the good side of magic once she realizes what Voldemort is really all about. He has destroyed her family and her family is important to her.

I look for a big role for her in the last book.

I dont think she will change sides. It just doesnt sound like her. SHe'll stay true to Voldy but might end up dying trying to protect Draco.. will he get a scar? lol

She isn't important, but you can tell she is a caring mother, beacuse
she sends DRac stuff, and things like that. She also didn't allow
Draco, to leave Hogwarts, and go to VIcktor Krum's School!

Narcissa Malfoy is quite possibly one of my favorite characters! She cared about her son enough to risk the wrath of Voldemort to seek help for him. In goblet of fire we see her as cold, stony. But even then we see her weakness; Her love for her son. She cannot bear the thought of sending him so far away as durmstrang. She cannot bear the thought of voldemort killing her only son.

Aside from being married to lucius and raising Draoc, and the fact that she is in contact with Voldemort, we've never actually seen her do anything evil, unlike her sister bellatrix

I think that she isn't pure evil. I was wondering.. Is she a death eater? She wasn't at Voldys rebirthing party

I think she is I'm sure it says somewhere in the books that Draco's mother and father are both death eaters. And how do we know she was not one of them silent death eaters?
I think that she loves her husband and her son so much that she would sacrifice herself for him. I do think though that she is a death eater through and through.

Narcissa has never seemed "Pure evil" to me, neither has Lucius. I realy thought (and think) that she has a hidden "soft spot", love is still somewhere in her. I mean, she shows it for Draco.

Yeah, she definitly loves amd I think that if she was a deatheater it was more becuase of her husband than her own desire.

Huh...I never thought about it that way Katie, but I must say I agree with you now that you've said that.
