I haven't seen the movie yet so I'm not entirely sure of my ground 
here, but do you mean "arse"?  If so, I'd say that it's regarded as a 
vulgarism but not really an oath - I would expect Malfoy to be more 
down-to-earth in his language than the good guys, as a simple matter of 
characterisation.

Malfoy using "bloody" wouldn't have struck me as jarring at all.
