Well, there you go. Lupin was the one holding the camera. :) If Hagrid had
been able to get a picture from Sirius, it would've had Lupin in it. The
formal wedding photos (if they stood for them -- we didn't) were probably
blown up with the house in Godric Hollow.
And if you don't like that explanation, maybe werewolves in the Potterverse
don't show up on film? ;)

You're right, now that I think of it-- I don't remember those shelves
existing when I practically lived in a bookstore as a kid. And some "YA"
stuff is still filed in the regular SF&F section (e.g. Harper Hall of Pern
stories, Heinlein's "juveniles," etc.)
I think of YA books as "Adult books, but shorter, and no graphic sex."
Other than that, little or no difference.
