10. Jason Isaacs Changed Lucius Malfoy's Aesthetic

There have been a plethora of bad guys introduced to the world of Harry Potter over the years, with varying success. One of the most evil, and downright detestable is the wizarding supremacist, Lucius Malfoy.

His evil sneer and vicious stance even towards children was brought to life expertly by Jason Isaacs, but it wasn’t just the villain’s on-screen presence that the actor had a hand in. After seeing the initial design for the Death Eater, he had a handful of changes he wanted to make to truly stamp his mark on the franchise.

In the first instance, before Isaacs’ input, Malfoy was to sport short brown hair and a pinstripe suit, something that was changed by the actor immediately. To up the ante and pure evil of the despised villain, he was given his trademark long blonde locks, as well as his cane, also at the actor’s suggestion.

Isaacs, joining the franchise that already housed Alan Rickman, the face behind several infamous villains such as Hans Gruber and the Sheriff of Nottingham, decided his antagonist needed to have something different to truly set him apart in the Wizarding World, and it’s fair to say that his changes certainly helped in this department.
