(2020). The Significance of Draco Malfoy as Minor Character in the Plots of J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Yogyakarta: Department of English Letters, Faculty of Letters, Universitas Sanata Dharma. Everyone has different roles in life and the roles can be the benchmark to see how prominent a person is in a wider extent. Nevertheless, this does not mean that the other people who are less significant are insignificant at all. The same goes for the minor characters in literary work as there are many of them who are significant to the plots of the literary work they are in. One of the literary works that possess numerous significant minor characters is J. K. Rowling‟s Harry Potter series. This study uses the last two novels of the series, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, as the objects of the study due to their well-depicted characters and well-written plot developments and because they reveal the true sides of Draco Malfoy, a minor character in the series. The researcher formulates three problems in this study. The first problem formulation discusses the description of Draco Malfoy as minor character. The second problem discusses the plots of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The last problem discusses the significance that Draco Malfoy has on the plots of the two novels. This undergraduate thesis is conducted by applying library research. The primary sources of data are Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows novels, while the secondary sources are some other books, journals, and online articles. In answering the problems formulated, the researcher applies M. J. Murphy‟s theory of character and characterization and Edgar V. Roberts and Henry E. Jacobs‟ theory of plot. Formalist approach is applied in conducting this study. This study finds that in the last two novels Draco Malfoy is described as a minor character due to his functions, mainly as a foil to the major character.
