       Actually, my impression, from PoA, is that Potterverse werewolves *do* 
become wolves, not the movie humanoid variant. I believe that this is the 
more traditional version, with the wolfman variant only appearing with the 
movies due to the difficulty of getting realistic wolves for the part. My 
reading of the transformation scene and Lupin's comments in PoA is that he, 
in fact, takes on a wolf-like form not a humanoid one.
