Four star system, with four if it takes movie-making to a new 
level, and none at all if, well, anybody here ever see Soylent 
Green? <g>

The man was already mad enough to kick his House Elf and to 
almost knock Harry over in Dumbledore's presence--both of 
those are canon, as is Lucius drawing his wand just down the 
hall from Dumbledore. The only difference is that in the book the 
final interview takes place in McGonagall's office rather than 
Dumbledore's. Lucius is a violent man and I think he just plain 
lost his temper. For a moment there was nothing in his mind 
except rage and the desire to hurt Harry.
