Men of Harry Potter

[myphilosophy2001]

Hey!

I'm new to the list but anyone who's on the main message board will 
probably recognize my name.

I was going to keep my mouth shut on this matter because I hated to 
repeat what's always been said, but I've given into temptation and 
must weigh in on my favorite HP man.

No surprise, it's Lupin. In my estimation, he really is the perfect 
man. They certainly don't make 'em like this in real life -- and if 
they have, PLEASE let me find one.

<<<Now following in that vein, out of all the "of age" characters in 
Potterverse, Lupin does seem to be the best catch. Sure he's poor as 
dirt, but he's intelligent. Good with kids. Creative (he came up with 
that obstacle course idea for the DADA final exam...I'd call that 
creative, wouldn't you?) So he turns into a werewolf once a 
month...at least you know it's coming, and you can remind him to take 
the potion.>>>

Me, me, me!!!:
I agree 100% with everything Gail says. His intelligence is an 
especial attraction. I've always had this thing for nerds (i.e. 
really brainy guys) so Lupin's irresistible in my book. It doesn't 
hurt that he's such a kind, caring, decent guy.

But that leads me to my other favorite aspect of Lupin -- he's the 
best of both worlds. He's got the whole civilized man/animal thing (I 
mean that figuratively, not literally). I mean, the "wolf" in him 
must peek out at times when he isn't transformed **wink, wink, nudge, 
nudge**. One wonders if he wouldn't prove a nice combination of 
sensitivity and aggression.

*sigh*

More Lupin please, JKR!
