Even seven years after the launch of the ultimate film, there’s little doubt that Harry Potter has remained related. Not solely can we all nonetheless geek out, however some colleges even have lectures about it. Harry Potter is just not going away quickly, and we’ll cling to no matter theories are left.
I’ve been a diehard fan from the starting, however I’m nonetheless coming throughout theories that I’ve by no means heard of earlier than. The newest principle I got here throughout has confirmed my long-held perception that Remus Lupin is the most tragic character in the Harry Potter collection. After this, some lists are gonna want updating.
Some time again, a Potterhead took a very, very close look into the Resurrection Stone scene in Deathly Hallows, the place Harry brings again variations of his mom, father, Sirius Black, and Remus Lupin. The textual content reads:
“Sirius was tall and handsome, and younger by far than Harry had ever seen him in life . . . Lupin was younger too, and much less shabby, and his hair was thicker and darker. He looked happy to be back in this familiar place, scene of so many adolescent wanderings.”
Harry’s mother and father, Lily and James, are younger too, however they died after they have been solely 21 years previous, so it is sensible. Why are Sirius and Remus a lot youthful than after they died – youthful than Harry ever noticed them in life?
The principle goes that they are so younger right here as a result of it is actually the shadow of a soul that the Resurrection Stone brings again. The souls of Lily and James handed on after they have been 21, and whereas Sirius and Remus did not bodily die that night time, their spirits did.
I’m unsure how a lot religion I can actually put in that principle, but it surely does verify Remus Lupin’s standing as the most tragic character. Yes, Sirius’s spirit died too, in accordance with this principle, however he did not need to take care of this checklist of woes:
- Lupin suffered from lycanthropy starting at simply four years previous – four YEARS OLD!
- Not solely did he need to undergo month-to-month transformations, however he additionally needed to cope with a social stigma. Rowling paralleled Remus’s situations with the stigma surrounding the HIV/AIDS epidemic. These sicknesses killed over a million people last year, and the stigma nonetheless exists. That’s how severely we’re purported to take lycanthropy.
- He was not allowed to play with different youngsters till he went to Hogwarts. Talk about establishing the child for social nervousness.
- Three of his greatest associates died, and he believed the fourth to be answerable for it. Grief like that’s past what most individuals expertise.
- He lived alone in poverty for over a decade, which solely depreciated any mental health he had left at that time.
- He fought in one other warfare, watching extra family members perish all the whereas.
- He lastly began a household and instantly died afterward.
No one else has a listing that even compares to Remus’s. He is unquestionably the most tragic character, and the concept {that a} piece of Remus’s spirit died the similar night time his good friend did . . . properly, that solely provides extra gasoline to the fireplace.
