O. K I am going to get in on this one...
Sirius: As I have stated before, I picture Sirius to be extremely
handsome pre-azkaban days....very muscular..tall, around 6' or
so..black hair obviously and a lovely smile...Post-Azkaban..thin..but
not emaciated..dirty..long dirty black hair and very pale..
Lupin: I picture Lupin to be around 5'10 or so..a handsome man in an
everyday sort of way..a little hairier than your average guy...light
brown hair...blue eyes...and a forgiving face..nice warm smile.
Pettigrew: Short...fat during flashbacks of the old days but now very
thin and balding..long nose and twitchy mannerisms..very nervous
guy...with grey hair and dark, sneaky eyes.
James: I picture James to be the tallest, around 6'2..with dark brown
hair and blue eyes...wonderful smile..glasses...nice, lean, athletic
build..
