Pippin:
JKR, Edinburgh Book Festival 2004
"If I could meet anyone, I might choose Lupin. I really like him. "

JKR, An Evening with Harry, Carrie and Garp 2006
(asked which five characters she would invite to dinner)

"Pretend I can take anyone? Well then I would definitely take Dumbledore.
 I'd take Dumbledore, Harry, Ron, Hermione...and.. (crowd shouts 
characters) um, Hagrid. I'd take Hagrid, yeah. "

So there is an A-list,  so to speak,  (an A-list is Hollywood slang 
for a group of the most desirable people to invite) and Lupin's not on it.
I thought there was a quote where JKR said she'd like to have Lupin
to dinner but I can't find it either.

I can't access the video of New York events-- can anyone tell if Lupin 
is one of the characters the crowd suggested?
