In Malfoy, Irvin Khaytman will examine and analyze the role of Draco Malfoy and his parents to determine what he was thinking after his face-offs with the heroic trio of Harry, Hermione and Ron. What can we glean of his character, and where do those traits come from? Khaytman will also consider Malfoy's actions in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in an attempt to answer the central question remaining about Draco Malfoy all these years later: Is the bully redeemable? And was he redeemed?

The book also considers what Draco’s parents, Lucius and Narcissa, were up to behind the scenes, taking into account their family history, Lucius' past as a Death Eater, their relationship and subservience to Voldemort and Draco's ultimate betrayal of him.
