Few characters in the Harry Potter universe are as nuanced, devastating, and downright legendary as Remus Lupin, played by David Thewlis. Yet films only skimmed the surface of his tale. Lupin wasn't just a werewolf, he was the finest Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Hogwarts had ever seen. Plus, his contribution to the battle against Voldemort was immense. However, his scenes and story arc in the films felt hurried, leaving little room for depth. As a mentor, a warrior, and a man battling his demons daily, he deserved more.
