Malfoid meme: what it means and where it came from
What it means
"Malfoid" is a fan-art trend that draws Harry Potter's Draco Malfoy as a woman, usually as a smug rival teasing Harry. The nickname blends "Malfoy" with "foid," a derogatory slang term for women; Know Your Meme notes the term's origin, though most of the trend is lighthearted fan art.
Origin
According to Know Your Meme, gender-swapped Draco art has circulated since at least 2011, and the name "Malfoid" first appeared in a January 2026 post on X. The trend took off after X user @redteneri posted Malfoid art on September 22, 2026 (over 89,000 likes in a week), and many artists followed in late September and October.
