Har Draco Malfoy mörkmarken? Med tanke på Voldemort tänkt Draco att dö i Dracos försök att döda Dumbledore, skulle Draco verkligen anses vara en del av den inre cirkeln, den inre cirkeln som tar emot Dark Mark? Ytterligare information följer.
Draco Malfoy skulle ha blivit en Death Eater kort efter att han blev 16 år, efter händelserna av Phoenix-ordningen . Här är vad J.K. Rowling säger om att Draco är en Death Eater:
J.K. Rowling: Draco did a lot of growing up in [Half-Blood Prince]. I had an interesting discussion, I thought, with my editor Emma, about Draco. She said to me, "So, Malfoy can do Occlumency," which obviously Harry never mastered and has now pretty much given up on doing, or attempting. And she was querying this and wondering whether he should be as good as it, but I think Draco would be very gifted in Occlumency, unlike Harry. [...] But I thought of Draco as someone who is very capable of compartmentalizing his life and his emotions, and always has done. So he's shut down his pity, enabling him to bully effectively. He's shut down compassion - how else would you become a Death Eater? So he suppresses virtually all of the good side of himself. But then he's playing with the big boys, as the phrase has it, and suddenly, having talked the talk he's asked to walk it for the first time and it is absolutely terrifying.

AND:
The werewolf might be allowed to wear Death Eater robes when they wanted to use him, but only Voldemort’s inner circle were branded with the Dark Mark: Greyback had not been granted this highest honour.

AND:
‘Draco should be proud,’ said Bellatrix indifferently. ‘The Dark Lord is granting him a great honour. And I will say this for Draco: he isn’t shrinking away from his duty, he seems
glad of a chance to prove himself, excited at the prospect –’
Narcissa began to cry in earnest, gazing beseechingly all the while at Snape.
‘That’s because he is sixteen and has no idea what lies in store! Why, Severus? Why my son? It is too dangerous! This is vengeance for Lucius’s mistake, I know it!’

I filmen Harry Potter och Halvblodsprinsen , som antagligen ses över av J.K. Rowling, Draco avslöjar att han har Dark Mark till Dumbledore; Men är detta verkligen genomförbart och korrekt i ett kanonkontext?
Ett svar baserat på kanon skulle vara perfekt!
