The writer JK Rowling is tired of the news that offers comments and rumors about the characters of Harry Potter and that they seem to never stop even though such rumors can be disproved easily. There are a lot of rumors that have been around for a long time and that he considers that it is time to deny, like the one he just communicated a few days ago.
The last statement that was collected on the web was that lthe illness of the character Remus Lupine, the teacher played by David Thewlis in the film, is a metaphor about diseases like HIV and AIDS.
In her latest e-book, published on September 6, the writer wrote the following:
“All kinds of superstitions seem to surround blood-borne conditions, probably due to the taboos surrounding blood itself. The wizarding community is as prone to hysteria and prejudice as the Muggle himself, and the character of Lupine gave me the opportunity to examine those attitudes. "
Likewise, the author has expressed through the social network Twitter how this news it does not suppose the “relief” that many believe it to be, indicating that there are many points that would be destroyed according to some of the interviews he conducted 17 years ago.
"Remus Lupine. The so-called 'revelation' circulating now is recycled from interviews conducted 17 years ago. "
“They asked me if Lupin's behavior towards others could be seen as a metaphor for stigmatized conditions. I agreed that it could be. "
"Indeed, on a conservative estimate, 90% of the "revelations" that continue to appear about Harry Potter characters have been recycled for years".
Lupin's first appearance came in the third book in the series, "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban."
As the latest news, the author, JK Rowling, has already written the script for the prequel film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, starring Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston and Colin Farrel.
