With a few exceptions, the vast majority of the chapters in the Harry Potter books were focused on Harry. While we did occasionally see things from the perspective of other characters, such as Narcissa Malfoy or the Muggle Prime Minister, the series mostly stayed with the protagonist.

One thing we never saw in the series was a chapter that focused on a Hogwarts student other than Harry (at least until Harry Potter and the Cursed Child anyway). Everything we known about Harry’s friends and rivals within the school comes from Harry’s perspective.

At several points throughout the series, J.K. Rowling had intended to include a chapter that focused on Draco Malfoy. This would have been an opportunity to show his home life (especially how it differed from Harry’s) and his relationship with people outside of the school setting. A minor character from the books named Theodore Nott would have had a large role in this chapter. Nott was the son of one of the Death Eaters – meaning we would see Draco having to interact with someone of equal social standing. This chapter would have given the reader an insight into how Harry and Dumbledore were viewed from the side of the enemy.
