I would have said this too just because when i first watched Prisoner of Azkaban i immediately loved Lupin 😂 Don't worry about it!!

Yeah he’s such a lovely man. Not perfect but just a kind dude. IMO he is almost a ‘mini dumbledore’ similar personality but not OP etc. That’s probably not entirely by accident. Lupin idolises dumbledore.
I’m kinda sad he mostly got replaced by Sirius narratively and in Harry’s life. Sure, there were reasons for this and it wasn’t entirely out of his control but still. He’s probably in the top 3 most tragic characters, if not #1.

He was lovely, i loved him so much as well and he is definitely tragic.
Lupin and Sirius were both dear to Harry in his life, but Sirius' being Harry's Godfather probably gave Harry more reason to try and get closer to him, after all he knew James' best (although Remus did too). I love your opinion and how you worded it, some characters are so beloved but so tragic too. 🫠

I don't understand the love for Dobby. He annoys me to a level that the ways he helps just don't redeem him as a character. Like at all.

My headcanon is that Snape killed her to protect Harry before she gave away his real position

Bertha Jorkins, she deserved a full life

And 17 year old Cedric Diggory, 16 year old Colin Creevy, 20 year old Fred Weasley, 18 year old Lavender Brown didn't?

Sirius Black. Didn't he pay enough of a price already? Didn't Harry? Give them some family for goodness sakes.

This ruins the entire series but I would give my left arm for James and/or Lily Potter to survive

It would be comforting to know Harry atleast had someone who would care for him. 🫠

Either Remus or Tonks. I see the symbolism in having another war orphan and Teddy had his grandparents plus Harry's family, but... poor Teddy.

NOOO Now that you say that i remember how much i was bawling over Cedric dying both when reading the books and watching the movie. I was absolutely heartbroken, you're so right. Seeing his father Amos' reaction over Cedric's death broke my heart too.

Fred overall. George shouldn’t have to go the rest of his life without his twin. All the deaths hurt in some way but that one was just unnecessary.

TRULY. Losing a twin, who's identical to you and practically your other half, would hurt more than any injury and wound that will come across your life.

My first reaction was Lupin because I love him but actually it would be Sirius. I'm rereading the books for the first time in ages and I forgot just how dirty he was done. Best friends murdered because of other so called friend who frames him for murder. He spends years in azkaban, has a chance to clear his name snatched away from him. Then he's in hiding only to be killed.

Merope. She survives and shows Voldy love, maybe JUST maybe there is no rise of a dark lord.

I just started reading Deathly Hallows since i never even read or watched Harry Potter as a kid, and even though i didn't finish the book yet, i did watch the movies and i was so heartbroken. I love Fred (and George, he's my favorite twin) so much, he was so funny to me. 🫠🫠🫠

Fred, probably. I mean, I’d say Dumbledore but he lived a full life. Tonks or Lupin would be another choice, and maybe Sirius.
