About

Malfoid or Malfoid Female Draco Malfoy Art Trend, also known as Fem Malfoy or Draconia Malfoid, is a nickname for a gender-swapped version of the character Draco Malfoy from the Harry Potter series, popularized through a September 2026 fan art trend.

The fan art trend was popularized on X / Twitter in September and October 2026 and typically involves drawing depictions of Draco Malfoy as a woman or teenage girl. The term "Malfoid" is a combination of "Malfoy" and "foid," a derogatory incel term for women derived from "femoid," a term meant to call women unintelligent.

Origin

Prior to the Malfoid-specific art trend and nickname in late 2026, Rule 63 artwork depicting Draco Malfoy from Harry Potter as a girl circulated online as early as 2011, with examples such as one from Tumblr^[7] user maariaaargh dating back to November 9th, 2011, receiving over 480 likes and 330 reblogs in 15 years.

The concept of drawing female variants of Draco Malfoy continued spreading into the 2020s, only without becoming a widespread trend and without the nickname.

For instance, on March 10th, 2024, X^[1] / Twitter user @grizz056 posted two pieces of fan art depicting Draco Malfoy as a woman, writing, "If Malfoy was a girl," garnering over 60,000 likes and 6,400 reposts in two years.

The earliest known usage of the name "Malfoid" in reference to Draco Malfoy comes from a tweet by X^[8] user @swag_chaser on January 10th, 2026, which included the name only as a text post.

On September 8th, 2026, TikTok^[9] user @80saerobicz used the name in an Alight Motion animation depicting Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy, captioning it, "shut up malfoid," garnering over 350 likes in a month. However, the art did not depict Malfoy as female.

On September 22nd, 2026, X^[2] user @redteneri posted an early piece of Malfoid fan art depicting a female Draco Malfoy character making fun of Harry Potter, garnering over 89,000 likes and 9,500 reposts in a week.

The post was subsequently met with several other examples of Malfoid art as the trend began picking up online in the following days.

Spread

The "Malfoid" art trend in which users depicted Draco Malfoy as a girl was then popularized in late September 2026, primarily on X / Twitter.

On September 27th, X^[3] user @spaz141 posted a piece of fan art that shows Malfoid and Hermione Granger competing over Potter, garnering over 44,000 likes in three days.

On September 28th, X^[4] user @tns2804 posted a piece of Malfoid art depicting her pouting, garnering over 18,000 likes in two days.

On September 29th, 2026, X^[5] user @masoq095 posted a piece of fan art sharing three depictions of Malfoid, garnering over 78,000 likes in a day.
