yeah oh my gosh i distinctly remember that feeling too. lupin truly was the finest.

and it's great to find so many people agreeing with me on this point! when i talk to people IRL about it they're so quick to judge... guess they just haven't latched onto the wolfstar lifestyle yet...

And another one — I remember feeling, “oh no, wait, there has to be a way he stays in this story!” I agree with the tightness of the story and, of course, the scene in the shack. I loved that scene before I was a shipper as well because I loved the characters and finding out the whole story. There’s also such a sense at the end of POA that this is it — this is when things get much more serious. Not that they weren’t before, but the shift to much more sinister content happens there, IMO.

oh yes definitely, PoA is the point where you start to worry. GoF puts the nails in the coffin, but i love the creeping unease of PoA. the public vs private sirius is great foreshadowing for how unreliable the wizarding media becomes later in the series.
