Images of Draco Malfoy, one of the characters in the Harry Potter franchise, are appearing across China. Why? It's not because of his charming personality and inspiring heroics. Rather, The Guardian explains, it's due the meaning of his name when pronounced in Chinese.
This is the Year of the Horse. Malfoy is spoken as mǎ ěr fú, which means "horse fortune." Draco's last name is a pun in Chinese, so people in China are putting up pictures of actor Tom Felton, who played the character in the film adaptations of Rowling's novels.
Felton, now 38, recently played his most famous role again on stage in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. He's pleased by the publicity in China.
