SPOILER: Lucius and the Curse

[Barbara Sheridan]

I thought Isaacs was a perfect Lucius especially with his
"You are so beneath a Malfoy" look to Hermione in the
bookshop and his "how DARE you embarrass the Malfoy name
with anything less that perfection" look he gives the
fallen Draco at the Quidditch match. (Also loved the way
Rickman hauled Draco to his feet at the dueling scene. It
was a "how DARE you embarrass Slytehrin House" moment that
spoke volumes)

After leaving the theater the whole portrayal of Lucius in
the end  bothered me to no end.  I didn't like the way he
literally kicked Dobby around. I don't see him behaving so
"crudely" with an audience, especially when that sudience
is Dumbledore. 

Then when he tries to AK Harry---it was so not Lucius to
act so stupidly with a witness (Dobby) and again,
especially so near Dumbledore, but then when reading 
through others' reactions and having someone mention that
they thought Lucius was aiming for _Dobby_ the scene made
perfect sense.

What Lucius possesses no one takes away, especially not
Harry Potter. 

The writer/director missed a golden opportunity to "get in
Lucius' head" by not inserting a simple line telling
us/Harry/Dobby  "_I_ decide if you go free. _I_ decided if
you live or die."
