You got it! I think that is the perfect solution. The charm wouldn't
have to be anything special, just a standard common barrier charm. I
think it's pretty safe to say, that as long as Lupin was a werewolf,
he couldn't cast any spells. So HE was trapped until he became a
wizard again. Brilliant, I like it.
