Malfoy’s Mask Falls: The Real Reason Why Azkaban Relentlessly Hunted Harry Potter In the haunting world of Harry Potter, few villains loom as large—or as personally as Lord Voldemort, whose relentless pursuit of Harry Potter defined much of the series’ darkest nights. Central to this relentless hunt was not just Malfoy’s loyalty to the dark lord, but a deeper, personal vendetta rooted in betrayal, fear, and the psychological scars left by Malfoy’s own choices. Understanding Malfoy’s “mask” and the psychological dynamics behind his unwavering service reveals why Azkaban—Harry’s prison—relentlessly hunted him, far more than any mere crime warranted. ### The Chameleon’s Loyalty: Malfoy’s Betrayal and Voldemort’s Grudge Chris Malfoy’s allegiance to Lord Voldemort was never born purely of ideological alignment. Initially, Malfoy viewed Voldemort as a nationalist savior—an opportunistic figure promising power to pure-blood supremacists. But beneath this facade lay an ugly truth: Malfoy’s betrayal of Harry was not a voluntary choice, but a forced one, stemming from Malfoy’s own fear and self-preservation in the face of dark forces.
