Appearances
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
In the fourth book, Narcissa attended the Quidditch World Cup with her husband and son right before the Death Eaters' attacks.
Films
In the films, she was portrayed by the late British actress, Helen McCrory. She is omitted from the adaptation of The Goblet of Fire, the fourth entry in the book/film series. Instead, Draco and Lucius appear at the Quidditch World Cup without her. Additionally, Narcissa informing the Dark Lord of the prophecy after being told by Kreecher is omitted as well.
In the seventh and eighth film, Narcissa reluctantly allows Voldemort to take up residence at their home but is not fair about it.
During the Battle of Hogwarts, Narcissa approaches Harry and whipers to see if her son Draco is alive like she does in the book. In order to get to Hogwarts and retrieve Draco, Narcissa lies and confirms Harry's "death" while the teen fakes it. This ultimately helps lead to Voldemort's downfall. Another difference is Narcissa and her family flee from the battlefield instead of being spotted at the Hogwarts.
Relationships
Draco Malfoy
Lucius Malfoy
Unlike her sister Bellatrix, Narcissa married Lucius for love.
