Lupin and Tonks

[Carol]

valerie:
> I hope they don't cut the scene where Tonks rescues Harry from the 
train and Harry realizes that Tonks is all drab and depressed and 
thinks she is heartbroken over Sirius's death. It was an interesting 
plot twist when we find out that she in fact is in love with Lupin,
who certainly deserves love, but wants to protect her from his Wild
Side.  Those two seem so incredibly different; I found it an
intriguing  pairing. Granted it's a small plotpoint but I quite liked it.
> Valerie, hoping that in the DH movie they give Remus and Tonks a
heroic death scene.

Carol responds:
I'm pretty sure that the whole Tonks-losing-her-Metamorphmagus-powers
subplot will be eliminated, along with Snape's cutting remark about
her changed Patronus. (I think its whole purpose was to foreshadow
*his* changed Patronus and to parallel Merope's story as part of the
unrequited love theme or motif.) But I expect that you'll get your
second wish, and at least one of the two (probably Lupin, whom the
filmgoers have known longer than Tonks) will get a heroic death. I
also expect, or rather, hope, that the exchange between Voldemort and
Bellatrix about pruning her family tree will be included early in the
film to indicate the particular danger that the newly married Lupins face.

Carol, looking forward to a cute, moving photo of a chubby baby with
turquoise hair in DH
