Hello.  I also saw the movie this afternoon only I was extremely 
disappointed with Lupin.  Why in the world did they have him yell at 
Harry after the Snape incident when Harry was roaming the hall with 
the map?   That was totally unlike Lupin in the book.  In this movie 
he had a very snotty personality so unlike the caring Lupin we fell 
in love with in the book.  Also, he is supposed to be poor. He did 
not come across as poor at all. There did not seem to be any close 
connection between Lupin and Harry. David Thewlis just did not do 
Lupin justice IMO.  Another thing that totally bothered me regarding 
Lupin was the fact that he did not wear wizard robes at all 
throughout the movie.  He wore a muggle suit, which does not make any 
sense.  Didn't mean to go on and on about poor Lupin but he is one of 
my favorite characters and I felt like the movie was ruined only 
because of him.  I wanted to cry in the theatre!! :-(
