He’s the only Hogwarts professor that calls the whole class by their first names. It’s a small thing but it’s really sweet. Like, they’re thirteen, and he’s setting the mood for his class. They can just be kids and enjoy learning for a while.

I love Remus an unhealthy amount-

The uncle we wanted : Remus Lupin The uncle we got : Uncle Vernon

Harry: almost gets killed by a dementor Lupin: 🍫 “eat”

Harry: professor I think there’s a black dog following me. Remus: well that sounds SIRIUS

The little " ʰᵉˡˡᵒ " that he did with Neville cracks me up

Remus and Sirius. The cool uncles we all wanted

it breaks my heart that mcgonagall outlived all the mauraders. she must’ve been shattered when she found out because they were most likely some of her favorite students

he protecc he attacc but most important, he give potter a snacc

I love that he is so sweet to every student, not only Harry.

When I find myself in times of trouble, Remus Lupin comes to me Speaking words of wisdom, "Eat, you'll feel better."

I never noticed him do that little “hello” to Neville before. I’m fucking screaming I love Remus so much 😂😂😂😂😂

Imagine going to school with him as your teacher like I'd literally enjoy school for once-

I live for Remus Lupin

Ok but imagine snape walking into Lupins class to see him in Nevilles grandma’s clothes

1:46 If you think about it, Alan had to dress as a grandma for that part. Talking about a good actor that knows how to portray his character and adapt. We surely miss him.

He’s literally the only good Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher they’ve ever had

I've been crushing on this man ever since he gave harry chocolate

I never cared if he was a werewolf, Lupin was the best Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher than anyone before and after him.

Another example of pitch-perfect casting in this franchise: David Thelwis was usually known for playing villains or a belligerent drunk. And he absolutely nailed this warm and sensible uncle, the man who tried to keep Harry out of trouble just like he did his father. The way he deflected Snape in the hall after lights out; you can see him doing the same thing to Filch for James and Sirius when they were unruly kids.

He was the last of the marauders. He didn’t deserve to die, he deserved to live. (Edit) Sirius didn’t deserve to die either. None of the good Harry Potter characters did.

“It was searching the train for Sirius Black” mY hUsBAnD - Remus

I can and will never get over his first appearance. Remus just casually got up from a nap and cast one of the most difficult spells effortlessly

I don’t get people saying Remus is the responsible marauder... The dude literally arrived late at his first class, made his class laugh, humiliated Snape, tries to kill Peter, gave back the Marauders Map to Harry... Like. He’s a legend.

I literally love him so much-

Has nobody ever thought of the fact that when Sirius fell into the veil, Remus was holding back harry. Harry looks exactly like James and James would of ran into the veil after Sirius. So it was basically like Remus was holding back James from doing something stupid and running after Sirius.

5:13 That must've been devastating for Lupin. He was using every ounce of strength he had, holding Harry back trying to keep his Nephew from harm running into the veil, but really *he* was the one that wanted to dive into the veil after Sirius, despite knowing Sirius was already dead and doing so would kill him too. Harry lost his Godfather and Remus lost his best friend, his *brother* more or less. How he was able to keep himself composed in that moment is nothing short of superhuman.

1:20 I love how realistic Lupin's reaction is there

Remus: What frightens you most in the world? Neville, mumbling: Professor Snape... Remus: I’m sorry? Neville, louder: Professor Snape. Remus: Ah, yes. Frightens all.

I think its less making sure harry doesn't do anything stupid and more him making sure he doesn't lose another person he loves right after another

What I love about him is that he was everyone’s uncle not just Harry’s. Remember that time when Umbrige insulted Lupin in OOTP and Dean ( or Seamus, haven’t read the books in a long time) immediately jumps down in his defense? That moment is one of my favorite moments from the books.

What really strikes me is the scene when Harry and Remus talk on the bridge. I realized that was probably Harry’s first time hearing about his parents from someone who knew them firsthand. Everything he had heard about them up until then was stuff of legends. He got to hear about his parents before they were regarded as legends.

I love how Remus is that one guy in the MARAUDERS that would probably burry himself under 10 layers of blanket with a book and a chocolate and messy hair but still looks cute.

2:43 “harry your dad was a dickhead and he gave me a migraine but I loved him”

Its such an interesting dichotomy to see how differently Remus and Sirius interact with Harry. Whereas Sirius is so much more intimate and personal, Remus is more laid back and nurtures Harry from a distance. Hot take: he was the one who would've made a much more powerful and mature godfather than Sirius.

remus is literally my comfort zone character even hearing his name makes me feel happy and safe and i dont even know why

that scene of lupin talking about lily and james always manages to break my heart :’(

As a child with a disability/chronic illness, Remus Lupin was my favorite character practically from his first scene in the book Prisoner of Azkaban. He "looks ill and exhausted" on the train, and the students notice he's absent from class a lot that year, but he's such a good teacher when he is there. I think his own struggles have given him tremendous compassion for others. JKR has said Lupin "cuts his friends slack" because he's so pleased just to *have* friends, and I can relate to that too. Lupin was the spoonie representation I needed as a child.

So disappointed they didn't include the scene where Remus having a row with Harry and leaving in rage from the book 7, instead we got that awkward dance in a tent.

The fact that everybody enjoyed his class and had fun learning...damn Thats rare

He was literally the only good teacher they had for DADA 😭

I've felt like remus is the ultimate uncle, gives you chocolate after an attack, teaches you things that you didn't know before hand, and just always gives you encouragement after you feel you can't do it

Remus was absolutely worn out from dealing with a full moon transformation just hours before he got on the hogwarts express. The fact that he was able to produce a patronus - wordlessly, at that - while also concealing his patronus’ form, is incredible and shows just how powerful Lupin is

Love how the entire Harry Potter fan base can all agree that this teacher is truly one of if not the best teacher at hogwarts

Harry: *looks exactly like his dad* Remus: I reCoGnISed yOU bY yoUR eyES

Lupin is like one of those rare teachers you would meet that would actually make you excited for class.

just Remus giving praise to Neville who like, never gets praise or so much as a 'well done' was absolutely heart-renching!~

it makes me so sad to think that if james and lily hadn't died and peter hadn't betrayed them, things would have gone so differently. Harry would have grown up learning magic, spending a l l of his time at hogwarts pranking the teachers because there's no way in hell that Jam's little prongslet was going to stay out of trouble Remus would have come over every weekend as Cool Uncle Moony and sometimes he'd bring Sirius, the cool godfather with a motorbike and Lily would say something like "no he's not getting on the bike Sirius he's only 3" and James would argue that he's "already three" and Remus would just sigh and go raid the Potter's chocolate stash Peter would totally abuse his animagus powers and constantly turn into a rat just to make harry laugh. You can bet that he and remus would buy out honeydukes every time they went to the Potter's house because "harry needs to learn good food Prongs, no you can't stop us" it just makes me sad okay

Dementor: *almost sucks out Harry’s soul* Lupin: *gives Harry a small piece of chocolate to recover* Harry: *R E C O V E R S*

“Eat, you’ll feel better.” Words of wisdom, Remus. Words of wisdom.

2:36. "Your mother was a wonderful person. Your father, on the other hand, was a total asshole, and is 100% the reason why Snape treats you like shit."

Uncle Remy is the one who would sneak candy to you when your parents tell you no!

remus: is defense against the dark arts teacher snape: literally 3 claps

4:56 "Mischief managed" Ok that hurts and idk why-

So I read somewhere that from the time Lupin learnt he was a werewolf, he started eating & carrying chocolates around. We know chocolate is harmful for dogs & can kill them. What if young Remus thought eating chocolates might kill the werewolf part of him? And it became a habit of him to carry chocolates which actually turned beneficial... T_T

Everyone talks about how Harry needs a hug. BUT REMUS AND SIRIUS THOUGH. THE POOR THINGS

i never noticed 1:12 so precious

Can I talk about how much I love Remus Lupin? The man is incredible. He has lost everything in his life: his chance at a normal life because of Greyback (may he croak), then his parents, all his friends and his true love (Sirius is the love of his life and if you don't agree with that go bother someone else), but he keeps fighting. For Harry, for the world, because he is needed. Because if he doesn't, no one will. No matter how much he hurts, he keeps going. The best years of his life were probably the ones he spent at Hogwarts, and even then there was the War coming. He had to join the Order at a very young age, and after that... There was October '81. I'm not going to talk about it anymore *starts crying* Secondly, he's the best teacher Hogwarts has ever known. He's very smart, he's kind to his students, he pushes them to excel, and he gives them lively, interesting lessons. I mean, he put on music during a practical class against dementors! He was always there for Harry, encouraging and comforting him whenever he needed it. Even during the Battle of the Ministry, his first instinct was to stop Harry from putting himself in danger, when Sirius had just died right in front of him. He fought the Dark Lord all his life, fought in both wars, was a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and died fighting again, right in the heart of Hogwarts. And, on top of all that, he was a Marauder. He helped create the Map, invented spells, participated in a thousand and one misdeeds, left an indelible mark on Hogwarts! In short, Remus Lupin deserves all the love in the world and I have read far too much fan fiction about him.

You just know he would've been such a great father.

I love how Lupin seems to always be carrying chocolate

In an alternate reality, Harry and Teddy would've been like cousins. But because things turned out the way they did, Harry became almost like a father to Teddy. I think about this a lot.

loving how he tries and makes sure that his students are happy in his class ❤ he's the uncle we all wanted

HIS LITTLE AWKWARD STAND AND BOW. I LOVE HIM SM

Remus is so precious when he is being introduced at the feast in the movie

Remus held back Harry, as he watched his life long friend die. Remus's heart would never be whole again, after James, and then Sirius.

My headcanon is that when Remus died and all the marauders were gone, the map cleared itself of all its contents and chose to display for forever ‘Mischief Managed’. And there goes my heart.

I literally cried at the end, this is one of the deaths that affected me the most during the saga. His desire to protect his family is so admirable and the way he fights till the end for the next generations is so amazing. I love this character so much

i like remus and sirius more than harry 🥺🤣

Lupin: Eat you'll feel better. Harry: *stare* Lupin: *leaves* Chocolate: *Crack* Harry: *Chew*

Honestly, proffesor Lupin deserves better than what hes getting

He was the best defence against the dark arts teacher The most underrated character in HP... when sirius died my only wish was to see him alive at the end of series...He deserved to live.. The only family that potter has 😔😔

To be honest... If Harry would have chosen the REAL first time he was on a broom, the memory would have been strong enough. He was with his parents on Christmas eve, that should be a very powerful memory. But he just forgot about it because he was to small.

And I will always Follow his wise words ᴇᴀᴛ ɪᴛ ᴡɪʟʟ ʜᴇʟᴘ DID I JUST HIT 1k LIKES OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!

I don't think any sane person could dislike this dude. His little "hello" to Neville was so freaking cute! And the way he actually encouraged his students and made them want to participate in class while being a sort of parental figure to Harry from a distance...he just deserved so much better.

The fact that Harry makes it a point to be there for Teddy as Lupin was there for him growing up always melts my heart. Having him over for tea or dinner 3 or 4 times a week, housing him during the summers, and even telling his daughter that he intends to offer to take him in after that year at Hogwarts.

Imagine if Harry ever got to live with his two Uncles - Sirius and Remus.

3 year: Remus *protects, helps, proud of harry* 4 year: Remus *helps harry* 5 year: Remus *gives advice and stops harry from doing something stupid* 6 year: Remus: *talks and gives harry a good time* 7 year: Remus *offers him help and dies for him* I mean THIS MAN DESERVES a proper funeral and to be a legend Edit: Omg thanks for all the likes 😄

3:34 The subtitles: *applause*

0:34 I'm pretty sure he went away because he didn't want to show any emotion when he said Sirius' name

*casually keeps his chocolate stash in his coat pocket*

I'm glad someone noticed that Remus did wandless magic. I also noticed that when he gets rid of the dementor the first time, on the train, he doesn't actually say "Expecto Patronum" so that also means he can do non-verbal magic as well as wandless magic. This just makes me think he is a very powerful wizard and sometimes people forget how powerful he can be. For God's sake he cast a non-verbal Expecto Patronum!

2:51 precious.

Remus is such a wonderful person he’s one of those characters who deserves his own spinoff series.

my favorite scene of remus lupin is his first scene ever. the way his eyes just open and he rises with his hair all wack, still looking half asleep, says no words, and just points the wand at the dementor like it was easy makes me giggle, hes so powerful

Harry: Professor, I think there's a black dog that keeps following me everywhere Lupin: Ah, that sounds pretty... Sirius.

I just realised that when Sirius died and Harry wanted to jump into the arc after him, Remus held Harry back even though he probably wanted to do the exact same thing as Harry since he'd just lost his only lifelong best friend left alive

0:14 Why am I getting such a strong “don’t tell your dad I gave you that” vibe? X3

You can tell you matter so much to Remus when he gives you chocolate 😂😂

When reading the book, I was so sure Remus was actually Sirius in disguise

Remus was one of the best teachers harry ever had, his way of teaching was amazing

Yah cool uncle basically sums him up. Also slightly awkward dad. I think one of my favorite Lupin moments is when he politely shut Snape down when he bullied Neville and showed faith in him. Major respect for that.

i love the fact that he actually played music while his students face the boggart 😌

I like how he called Neville to face the boggart because Neville is seen to be a very shy boy that everyone calls a wimp, professor lupin called Neville because he knew what Neville was made off and that was pure bravery

0:07 he looks so cozy in that blanket tho

I'm a simple girl. I see remus, I click

"It was searching the train for my husb- uh, I mean Sirius Black."

It helps to know that Remus was Canonically the nost level headed and Mature of the Mauraders anyways and got into trouble the least compared to Sirius and James.

After growing up reading these books, I never thought I’ll find Remus to be so handsome. Nymphadora has good taste

1:30 “should I be worried about that? Nahhhh”

Snape:why is he the dada teacher? I’m gonna expose him the first chance I get. Also Snape:I want his job. But I’m afraid he will bite me.
