Draco Malfoy named Chinese New Year mascot thanks to his 'lucky' name https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/bb20d41d-f5c0-435a-8953-1e060ec281dd Harry Potter character Draco Malfoy has officially been crowned the mascot of this year's Chinese New Year celebrations, thanks to his Chinese name, "马尔福(Ma-er-fu)." The character "马" means horse, aligning perfectly with the Year of the Horse, while "福" (fortune) adds an extra dose of luck. During Chinese New Year,"福" is everywhere – on decorations, couplets and red paper cuttings. To top it off, you can even find magnets with Malfoy's face on a horse, where you can spin the "福" character for extra good fortune! With a name full of lucky symbolism, Chinese netizens have decided that Malfoy is the ultimate good-fortune icon for the Year of the Horse.
