The blonde Slytherin student is well known for his iconic lines and also the unforgettable scene where he took a punch from Hermoine Granger.
His job throughout the franchise was to give Potter and his gang a hard time, but as fans, we now have a hard time digesting some new information about Malfoy’s character.
According to the Daily Mail UK, fans were shocked to learn that Harry Potter’s arch nemesis was only given a mere 31 minutes screen time throughout all seven films which clocked a total of 19 hours and 40 minutes.
The new information did not sit well with fans even after the movie franchise ended in 2011 as they felt that his character that had so much more potential.
To add salt to the wound, his appearence in 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix' was only a mere 1 minute 15 seconds!
The data was apparently collected by fans from the IMDb website and everyone had a lot to say about this on Twitter.
the fact Draco Malfoy was only in 31 minutes throughout the WHOLE of the Harry Potter franchise (19 hrs & 40 mins) jus doesn’t sit right with me

Draco Malfoy had just 31 minutes of screen time across the whole Harry Potter Saga..... that’s mental, because in my head he was a constant throughout the film as the main bad guy ??

I have been saying this for years): Tom Felton deserved better, Draco Malfoy also deserved better literally he was living rent free in Harry’s head meaning he should of been showed more): It doesn’t make sense how it was only 31 minutes screen time. https://t.co/tpzT77mfca

The fact that he bleached his hair for 10+ years and got bullied for his blonde hair, only make $3 Million with only 31 minutes airtime in the WHOLE HARRY POTTER FRANCHISE doesn't sit right with me. Also, the Malfoy's family deserve a better elaboration in the movie. https://t.co/ZYV9ryr2af

So, what do you think? Did Draco deserve more screen time than he was given?
