Remus John Lupin was turned into a werewolf when he was little by Fenrir Greyback. In school he became a maurader with his best friends James Potter, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew. They were well known for being troublemakers. He was {{m|Harry Potter}}'s third Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at [[Hogwarts Castle|Hogwarts]]. He resigned the Defense Against the Dark Arts post because Snape told everyone that Lupin was a werewolf, leaving it open again. He was a member of the [[Order of the Phoenix]], and married [[Nymphadora Tonks]]. He was also the last surviving member of the four mauraders, [[Peter Pettigrew]], [[Sirius Black]], [[James Potter]] and himself. He fought alongside Harry in the [[4867 Hogwarts|Battle of Hogwarts]], but was one of the casualties of the war. He was last seen fighting a Death Eater named Antonin Dolohov. Lupin is one of the four that Harry brings back with the Resurrection Stone. Lupin and Tonks gave birth to a boy named Teddy Lupin (after Tonks' late father Ted Tonks).

Class 2 article


Remus Lupin, also known as Professor Lupin, is a Harry Potter Minifigure introduced in 2004 where he appears prominently with sets based on The Prisoner of Azkaban.

Description

In his first variation, Lupin wears a dark green suit which is torn in a few places, showing the lighter green shirt below. He wears a black tie around his neck and also has a grey cloak on his back. Lupin has combed over, ginger hair. His face has an inexpressive visage with a light mustache and two scratches across his face.

This is based on his appearance in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban where the character debuts.

In 4756 Shrieking Shack, Lupin also has an interchangeable wolf head which fits over the normal minifigure head in place of the hairpiece. It is large and dark grey with no additional printing. All of the details, including a scowling brow, two eyes, a nose at the end of a snout, two ears, and fur sticking out.

For Lupin's next appearance, he has a less mangy, dark tan suit with a brown tie. He has the same hairstyle but has now grown a scraggly, brown beard with with neglected sideburns. Lupin is now smiling, has brown eyebrows, and his scars are less prominent, though they are still present.

This variation is based on his appearance in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the last two installments of the series.

Images in Standing Small: A Celebration of 30 Years of the LEGO Minifigure show an unreleased variation from 2004 where Lupin has the werewolf head and rather than a suit wears a green jacket and matching pants. A similar torso appeared in 4727 Aragog in the Dark Forest used on the Harry Potter minifigure, but it is in blue and has yellow printing on the exposed chest, rather than flesh.

In the video games

Lupin appears in both LEGO Harry Potter games. In Years 1-4 he has his first variation while in Years 5-7 he has his second.

Another variation that appears in Years 5-7 that is playable in story mode for Snape's occlumency lesson is a young version of Lupin. He has no facial hair and wears his Gryffindor robes. His abilities are unchanged.

Lupinressurect

Lupin as a ghost

Lupin also appears as a ghost in Years 5-7, but this variation is not playable. It resembles his tan suit, but it has strong hues of light blue.

In both versions of the game Lupin is able to use the same spells as most other wizards, Reducto, Lumos/Lumos Solem, Wingardium Leviosa/Accio, Immobulus, Expecto Patronum, Expelliarmus, the Transfiguration spell, and any other spells purchased at Diagon Alley, in the first game while in the second he can perform Wingardium Leviosa, Diffindo, Lumos, Aguamenti, Expecto Patronum, and Reducto as well as any purchased in Diagon Alley.

In both games he can also transform into a werewolf which gives him his wolf head and replaces his spell wheel with new powers that include super strength and the ability to dig up dirt patches.

Lupin's roles in the games are the same as in the Harry Potter universe. He is playable in the story mode for the levels "News from Azkaban" and "The Shrieking Shack" in Years 1-4 and "A Not so Merry Christmas" in Years 5-7 as well as making several smaller appearances throughout both games' stories.
