How did Draco Malfoy's parents feel about his marriage to Astoria Greengrass? toggle section

Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy "disapproved" of Draco's choice to take Astoria as a wife, likely due to her tolerant life views after turning back on her family's blood purity ideals. Draco chose her anyway and stood up to both of them which Astoria thought "was one of the most courageous things she'd ever seen". After that, their family gatherings with Lucius and Narcissa were fraught with tension.

Etymology

Малфои в эпилоге Поттерианы — Astoria with her son and husband in 2017.

The name Astoria may be derived from the London Astoria, a music venue in London, England, or the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, a famously luxurious hotel in New York City. This hotel was named after the Astors, a very wealthy and influential American family.^[5] The name may also be related to Astraea, a daughter of Zeus in Greek mythology who personified justice. Astraea is derived from Greek meaning "star-maiden"; this may relate to her husband's maternal family often naming its members after stars and constellations. The name may also be spelled Asteria, as shown on the Weasley Family Tree.^[6] Like Hyperion — her son Scorpius' middle name — Asteria is the name of one of the Titans of Greek mythology.

Behind the scenes

Astoria is played by Jade Olivia, Tom Felton's real life girlfriend, in the epilogue scene of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.^[7]
J. K. Rowling has said that she chose to have Draco marry someone other than Pansy Parkinson, who seems to have been his girlfriend during his adolescence, because she always hated Pansy, who represented "the girls who teased me when I was at school". She has referred to Pansy as "the anti-Hermione". So, it can be assumed that she is somewhat a better person than Pansy.^[8]
Astoria is the only character addressed in the epilogue that the regular trio don't know, although the fact that they know about Scorpius might mean that they do know her, they just call her "Draco's wife". Also, in a school context, a two year gap is considerable, and since even her sister was barely peripheral to the central trio's world, they may well not have been truly aware of her until she joined the house of Malfoy.
As her sister Daphne was sorted into Slytherin, it is likely that Astoria was sorted into Slytherin as well.
Astoria's maiden name, Greengrass, could refer to one of the Slytherin House colours, green.
