How Jason Isaacs Really Felt About Playing Lucius Malfoy In The Harry Potter Movies

In "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" — the second movie in the Harry Potter film franchise — we first meet Lucius Malfoy, a rich and influential pureblood wizard played by Jason Isaacs. His first impression is, to put it lightly, not good. His son, Draco (Tom Felton), is Harry Potter's (Daniel Radcliffe) nemesis at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and when Lucius and Draco see Harry before the two young boys start their second year at the wizarding academy, they're both incredibly rude to Harry and the entire Weasley family. Isaacs reprises his role as Lucius several times throughout the "Harry Potter" franchise ... so how does he feel about his role?
During an appearance on BBC's "The One Show," per Variety, Isaacs said that he has slightly weird memories of the filmmaking experience, but also cherishes the fact that the "Harry Potter" movies are so important to so many people.
