What this wasThe story
From late September 2026 artists on X posted their own drawings of the Malfoid, a female, anime-style version of the Harry Potter character Draco Malfoy. Know Your Meme dates the trend to a drawing posted by @redteneri on 22 September that drew about 89,000 likes in its first week, after which other artists posted their versions.
On 27 October 2026 the US Department of Education posted its own Malfoid image with the words "There's Magic in Learning!", which carried the trend into national news coverage.
Why it matteredWhat changed
It was a drawing trend rather than a single image, it reached a US government department within five weeks, and its name ends in an incel-forum slur for women.
