About the conversation at the end about Lupin and Fenrir not turning into werewolves - I honestly have never payed attention enough to check if you can see the moon in any of the shots - so that would be interesting to know, but what I personally always assumed was, that it isn't actually a full moon in that moment, because of how Tonks phrased it. She said (pls correct me if I'm wrong) that the first days of the cycle are the worst - if we assume that she is talking about the moon cycle, then that would mean it's currently a new moon (day 1 of the moon cycle) and not a full moon, which would explain why they aren't werewolves. What that wouldn't explain is why they'd be affected by a new moon, but honestly, my brain has this habit of just finding even the smallest potential reasoning for things and running with it without further questioning it. So I always just thought "well, if a werewolf is affected by the full moon, then it's not a big leap to think they could be affected by other phases of the moon as well, just in different ways". But that's obviously never canonically brought up in the books. As always, a fantastic episode. I'm always looking forward to the new episodes coming out every week. I want to give a big thank you to the two of you. For the past 3 years, I've sadly been chronically ill, which has taken my ability to live a normal life. I spend my days at home, with very limited social contact. Content like yours is the thing that makes me feel connected to people and helps me feel less lonely at times. It also always manages to bring laughter and joy into my otherwise very boring and lifeless days. I hope you know that you are truly making a difference in, at the very least, one persons life. So thank you again! I'm very excited for the second episode of this movie review and to then dive into the last book with the two of you! Much love!
