Nabbed this off ginger_veela, since I share her need for a distraction.

1) What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her.

I love him to pieces; he's my favourite character in HP. I love him right at the start, overconfident and telling tall stories about helicopters and wanting to see the dragon and wanting to be special. Tiny Draco, his daddy telling him he’s not good enough, just breaks my heart. And I love Draco overacting with his Terrible Hippogriff Injury and Snape playing along cracks me up - and when he’s fourteen and fighting his AWFUL NEMESIS with badges and tabloid journalism and dressing like a vicar? ♥ ♥ ♥ And oh, his rage when Harry ‘gets his father jailed’, and his trying so hard all through HBP, all alone and frightened and Potter almost killed him and having to save his parents and being clever enough to find the solution, because he’s a lateral thinker and good with practical spells, and his worn-down fear in DH and trying to stop anyone from being hurt...

OH DRACO DARLING LET ME HOLD YOU

2) Is he/she important to the general plot?

Definitely. *strokes HBP*

3) Can you relate to this character at all? Does he/she grip you emotionally?

ALL THE FEELINGS. I don’t relate to him exactly, but I feel for him.

4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?

LOVE the fandom; quite like the source material.

5) Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by his/her relationship with any other character(s)? (romance-wise or platonic)

AHAHAHA. I ship him with Harry, Ron, and Snape, plus Neville and Pansy a bit. I'll also read him with any Weasley boy. I really like relationships between characters who are parallels in some way, and JKR loves to set those up, which is very satisfying :)

I like that he and Harry are opposites but parallels; that they’re so passionate about each other but know so little about each other; the capacity for both to grow from being around each other; also, the kinky possibilities. I like that Ron and Draco

6) Is there anything about the character you would change?

Yes! Well, okay, this is a wish for the whole last book, actually. I wish Harry had had to ask Draco for the Elder Wand. Because that would've actually got to the supposed 'choices' theme, the idea that things weren't going to Dumbledore & Voldemort's plans any more. Plus it would've been cool thematically to see Voldemort yell at Draco to give him the Elder Wand, Draco must know to whom he owed his loyalty!

And Draco would say yes, he did, and throw the wand at Harry, and it'd be a perfect Seeker-sympatico moment of Harry catching it :)

7) If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how would you see yourself interacting with him/her? Would you get along well? Fall in love with him/her? Dislike? Have a friendly rivalry?

I'm a filthy Muggle, so he would probably be rude, and I would be scared he'd hex me and pissed off. I'm thinking no :)

8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or least favorites?

Absolutely an all-time favourite :D

9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about this character (if you dislike) to someone new to fandom?

Hype up, I suppose?

10) Is this character popular with the fanbase?

Absolutely :D Draco Malfoy In Leather Trousers is a famous internet trope for a reason, you know, even if my own love for him is partly because he is so uncool.
