Beneath a seemingly gentle face

I think British actors, as a generation, remember them from the `` Harry Potter '' series. Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, Kenneth Branagh, Gary Oldman, Timothy Spall, John Hurt, Julie Walters, Emma Thompson, Robbie Coltrane, Toby Jones, The Day After Ralph Fiennes. I'd also like to include Bill Nighy, but I think he played Davy Jones in the Pirates of the Caribbean series. Don't forget Richard Harris either. ``Harry Potter'' is a good introduction to British acting, with great actors supporting and sometimes standing in the way of wizard apprentice children as they go on adventures. Above all, he is an all-star with a lot of personality.

David Thewlis played Professor Remus Lupin in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban . Despite the impressive cast, it has a relatively quiet atmosphere. The character of Professor Lupine himself was pale, shabby, and worn out. However, once the class started, it became clear that he was very well received by the students and that he was an extremely talented teacher. In fact, the subject he teaches, Defense Against the Dark Arts, is a cursed subject where the teacher changes for some reason every time throughout the series, but out of all the teachers, the main character, Harry, trusts Professor Lupin the most. .

Professor Lupine, like many other teachers who were in charge of ``defense techniques'', was only able to teach for one year. Its true identity is a werewolf that transforms into a terrifying beast on full moon nights. The gap between Lupin's usual modest and gentle personality is interesting, but the fact that he is a seemingly normal person with a bit (sometimes quite a bit) of shadow and darkness is also common to Thewlis' other roles. feel like. The role of Lupin, who appears to be an ordinary character but is actually a werewolf, is truly iconic.
