Plot summary
Nearing his 5th birthday, Remus Lupin, son of wizard Lyall and muggle Hope Lupin, was bitten by Fenrir Greyback, a werewolf, and became one himself. After Lyall died by suicide, Hope placed Lupin in St. Edmund's, a children's home for boys. Lupin is looked after by Matron who locks him up during the full moon to keep him from hurting any of the other boys, while simultaneously preserving his secret. As he comes of age, Lupin is visited by Albus Dumbledore who gives Lupin his acceptance letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry which he would be able to attend. On full moons, he would be taken through a secret tunnel leading to a shack where he can undergo his transformation in privacy and safety.
During his first year, Lupin befriends James Potter, Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew. Hesitant and cold towards them at first, the four become close friends and begin to call themselves the Marauders. During their years at Hogwarts, Lupin develops a close connection with Black, bonding with him over their shared scars. Black is also the first to learn Lupin is a werewolf. During their fifth year, the Marauders become Animagi to join Lupin during his transformations. Lupin also befriends Lily Evans, Marlene McKinnon and Mary MacDonald who go on to form a close bond with the Marauders. During the summer of 1975, Lupin discovers that he is gay after having intimate relations with Grant Chapman, his new roommate at St. Edmunds. Upon returning to Hogwarts for the school year, Lupin finds he has a crush on Black. On his birthday, Lupin kisses Black and during their sixth year, the two become an unofficial couple. During a camping trip, Lupin comes out to the rest of his friends and Black later tells them that they are a couple. Lupin also reunites with his mother who later dies from lung cancer.
After their schooling, Lupin and Black move into a London apartment together. They decide to join the Order of the Phoenix and help in the war effort to defeat the rising Dark Lord, Voldemort. Lupin is tasked by the Order to infiltrate a pack of werewolves working for Voldemort, lead by Greyback. Upon doing so, he becomes an advocate for the werewolves on the side of evil while also encourages liberation amongst various werewolves in the pack. On his return, Lupin attends Potter and Evan's wedding. A prophecy regarding their newborn son compels them to go into hiding. Lupin's constant werewolf advocacy leads Black to believe that he is a traitor, causing turmoil between them. While Lupin leaves to enlist the help of the liberated werewolves, Pettigrew, betrays Potter and his wife who are consequently killed. Black is subsequently framed for revealing their whereabouts and is sent to Azkaban.Шаблон:Efn

Background
Шаблон:See also "Wolfstar" is the paired-ship name between the Harry Potter characters Remus Lupin and Sirius Black.[1] In 2011, David Thewlis, the actor for Lupin on screen, stated in an interview for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 that he was told by, Alfonso Cuarón – the director of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban – "in the rehearsals, without J.K. Rowling's knowledge, that [Lupin] was, in fact, gay, so [he had] been playing the part like a gay man for quite a long time".[2] He added that after Lupin married Nymphadora Tonks, he "just saw it as a phase [Lupin must have] went through".[2] Vanity Fair writer Joanna Robinson noted that aside from the 'phase' comment, "it’s easy to see how Lupin—a man who is haunted and ashamed of a deeply personal secret, in this case, being a werewolf—could translate to many readers as homosexual".[3]

Rowling created".[9]
Screen Rant writer Meagan Bojarski listed the story on the sites Most Popular Fanfiction For Each Major Ship list, adding that "because of its length and depth, many fans consider it a proper book unto itself and accept its information as canon in the greater Harry Potter world".[1] Another Screen Rant writer, Liz Hersey, wrote that because of Rowling's controversial comments, Harry Potter fan-fiction such as All the Young Dudes becomes "valuable, as it's an artistic space that fans can inhabit without having to grapple with Rowling's involvement" adding that the story "perfectly represents what makes the Harry Potter series so beloved".[14]
