{{Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Beginner Spoiler}}
Though barely mentioned in earlier books, Malfoy Manor achieves a significant role in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows|''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'']] when it is used as headquarters by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lord Voldemort|Voldemort]]. Previously, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Arthur Weasley|Arthur Weasley]] and other members of the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Ministry of Magic|Ministry of Magic]] had searched the Manor for Dark magic objects,
The first time we see Malfoy Manor is at the beginning of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 1|''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'']]. We learn that the Malfoys kept albino peacocks when one of them startles arriving [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Death Eaters|Death Eaters]]. We find then that Voldemort is meeting there with his Death Eaters, including [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Severus Snape|Severus Snape]]. We learn that the Malfoy family has fallen into disgrace within Voldemort's organization; Snape is invited to sit next to Voldemort himself, but when we see the Malfoys they are at the far end of the table.
Meanwhile, Dean, Harry, Ron, and Griphook had been taken to a basement room where [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Luna Lovegood|Luna Lovegood]] and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ollivander|Mr. Ollivander]] are locked up. Luna helps free them from their bonds. Harry, looking at the mirror shard he had gotten from [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Sirius Black|Sirius]], sees a sky-blue eye in it, and pleads for help. The eye vanishes.
Hermione has, through her pain, told Bellatrix that the Sword is fake; Bellatrix sends Draco to fetch Griphook to verify this. Harry tells Griphook to corroborate Hermione's claim; then Draco arrives and hauls Griphook away. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Dobby|Dobby]] [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Apparition|appears]] in the basement just as Draco leaves. Dobby, though fearful at being back in his old home, says he has been sent to rescue Harry Potter. Harry confirms that Dobby can Apparate out of the basement with others, and tells Dobby to take Luna, Dean, and Mr. Ollivander to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Shell Cottage|Shell Cottage]]. Bellatrix, hearing Dobby Disapparating, sends [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Peter Pettigrew|Wormtail]] to investigate. Harry and Ron attack Wormtail, and Wormtail, after a moment's amazement, defends himself. Harry, being choked by Wormtail's silver hand, reminds Wormtail that he owes
With Wormtail's wand, Harry and Ron make their way upstairs and overhear Griphook confirming that the Sword is a fake, whereupon Bellatrix summons Voldemort and gives Hermione to Fenrir as a reward. Ron [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Expelliarmus|Disarms]] Bellatrix, and Harry catches her wand. Harry Stuns Lucius Malfoy but has to duck behind the couch as Draco, Narcissa, and Fenrir all aim Stun spells at him. Bellatrix threatens Hermione with her knife, forcing Ron and Harry to drop their wands, which Draco collects. The chandelier falls on Bellatrix; Dobby has re-appeared, and warns Bellatrix to not harm Harry Potter or his friends. Narcissa takes aim at him, but her wand goes flying as Dobby charms it away. Harry takes all three wands that Draco was holding and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Stupefy|Stuns]] Fenrir with them; now, holding Griphook and seeing that Ron has a
Harry, some time later, perceives Voldemort's rage at being told Bellatrix' Gringotts vault has been broken into, and a cup stolen. While we are not told where this is happening, Lucius Malfoy's and Bellatrix' presence at that time indicate that it is within Malfoy Manor.
== Analysis ==
Throughout the series, the Malfoy family is presented as being rich, and buying influence through carefully placed (and presumably invisibly entailed) donations to worthy causes. Given this characteristic, one can expect that the Malfoy residence would be opulent, possibly even ostentatious. When we eventually see Malfoy Manor, then, we are unsurprised by the size and grandeur, or even by the albino peacocks, though twice Death Eaters are
When we see Lucius Malfoy in ''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'', it is mentioned that he seems a prisoner in his own house. We are aware that he had been captured in the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Ministry of Magic|Ministry]] with a number of other Death Eaters at the end of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix|''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'']], and had been sentenced to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Azkaban|Azkaban]]. Events lead us to believe that he was part of an unpublicized mass breakout from Azkaban, and so presumably must remain hidden in fear of re-arrest. One wonders why he alone among those who have escaped from Azkaban seems to be restricted in his travels; speculation on that topic will be found in the character write-up for [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lucius Malfoy|Lucius Malfoy]]. However, it is worth noting that even a house as grand as Malfoy Manor appears to be, can be quite confining when one is not allowed to leave it.
It is mentioned that Malfoy Manor is in Wiltshire, in the south of England. It is perhaps intentional that this is the same area of England, roughly, as the Salisbury Plains and Stonehenge. There is a Muggle belief that there is something magical about this area. It is possible that the Malfoy family is playing on this belief, or is the source of it, being magical themselves
