Lucius Malfoy Was ‘Stunned Witless’ At This Agra Cafe Owned By Acid Attack Survivors
No, this is not a plot leak from the new HP book, but in fact an occurring of the Muggle realm. On-screen Lucius Malfoy, a.k.a. Jason Isaacs, along with his wife and two daughters recently visited Agra to tick Taj Mahal off their bucket list. And being an ardent monument-gawker, I can totally relate with the Isaacs when the hunger kicked in post all the sightseeing.
The actor headed over to a nearby restaurant to grab a bite, and what followed will change the way you look at Draco’s dad forever!

The restaurant was none other than the highly praised ‘Sheroes Hangout’, which is run in Agra, Uttar Pradesh by acid attack survivors. The actor and his family were in proper desi form and ordered themselves a sumptuous Indian meal complete with dal, chapatti, aloo gobhi, pyaj ke pakode and veg biryani.
And that’s not even the highlight of Isaacs’s visit! The HP anti-hero was quick to tweet about his visit to the café and here’s what he had to say:
“India stuns me witless. Yesterday we ate here. It’s run by magnificent acid attack survivors.”

It’s safe to say that the admiration was both ways. And not because of Jason Isaacs’s star-studded status. Oh no, that was something the ladies over at Sheroes didn’t realize until much later. “We didn’t know who they were. They were welcomed by our team and escorted to their seat”, staff member, Ritu was quoted by Storypick.
“All the while that they were here, they did not tell us who they were. They absolutely had no airs about them. They were very humble and down to earth”, Ritu added.

It wasn’t until someone recognized the Lucius Malfoy that the actor gleefully got pictures clicked with all the women, and even promised each of them a copy of Harry Potter. Oh and what’s more? Isaac came back the next day with books for the entire staff.
Evil never seemed so “aww” worthy, did it?
