In the book, Harry’s first interaction with Draco Malfoy is at Madam Malkin’s Robes for All Occasions in Diagon Ally.
During their short interaction (in which Draco had no idea who Harry was), the Malfoy family heir boasted his pure blood and made fun of Hagrid. Harry was not impressed.
Draco: “You’ll soon find out that some wizarding families are much better than others, Potter. You don’t want to go making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there.”
Harry: “I think I can tell who the wrong sort are for myself, thanks.”
