Werewolfs in Harry Potter and in movie Van Helsing ( spoilers)

[dumbledore11214]

So,yesterday I discovered just how much JKR's interpretation of 
werewolfs influenced me for better or for worse. Duh! :-)

I bought a DVD of " Van Helsing". I never saw it in the theater and 
someone whose movie recommendations I value very highly recommended 
it to me, so I bought it, fully intending to keep it in my home DVD 
collection. I LOVE fantasy action movies, so I thought it was pretty 
safe buy. 

The movie was good, pretty much 2.5 hours of exciting non-stop 
action EXCEPT the brother of the heroine gets turned into werewolf 
and pretty much gets treated like a monster from now on ( well, 
heroine wants to save him at first, but then she sees how he acts 
and agrees with Van Helsing that he is not her brother anymore) 
Sigh... I caught myself wishing that he would drink some Wolfsbane 
potion ASAP, but nope his soul is free only when he dies.

Yeah, so I kept imagining Remus there and SO disliked that werewolf 
was treated like a monster.

Oh, and when Van Helsing gets bitten, they do find cure, but even 
though heroine manages to inject him, he kills her while she was 
doing it.

Did I manage to get the ending wrong though? Did Van Helsing kill 
Anna or she was already wounded?

In any event, I was SO displeased by the hunt for Anna's werewolf 
brother, that I am not keeping the movie , I am selling it. :-)


Just wanted to share.

Alla.
