J.K. Rowling’s website has been updated to inform us that tomorrow, March 10th, is Remus Lupin’s birthday. Now, I’m all for celebrations for fictional characters (yes, I’ve been to birthday dinners for Severus Snape and am relatively unembarassed by this fact), but after Lupin’s fate in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, it’s a bit hard for me to get enthused. Lame off-screen death? Random disregard for his hot shape-shifting wife? Not cool, Lupin, not cool.
