I do feel like the dumbest kid at school now....

Although the article implies so, the actor/kickboxer didn't exactly 
say he was to play the "wolf" Lupin. But if he is, then I am 
confused. Isn't a werewolf supposed to look just like a normal wolf 
instead of a man-wolf (wolf-man?)? Or is he going to play 
Lupin/werewolf during the transformation only? If it's so, would it 
be possible that they are using the ballet dancer to play 
Sirius/black dog in the same way?
