Teachers and parents! Our Teacher Edition on Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince makes teaching easy.
One of James Potter’s best friends, a werewolf and member of the Order of the Phoenix. Like Sirius, Lupin is a link to Harry’s father – but he’s more thoughtful and less impetuous than his friends, allowing him to provide measured guidance to Harry. In Half-Blood Prince, Lupin works as Dumbledore’s agent among the werewolf population, who are largely aligned with Voldemort. He’s also in love with Tonks but resists embarking on a relationship with her, not wanting her to share his poverty and the outcast status he endures as a werewolf.
