As a long-time Harry Potter fan who grew up watching the magical adventures unfold on screen, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia and excitement at the prospect of Andrew Garfield joining the cast of the upcoming Harry Potter series. For years, fans have been clamoring for him to play the role of Remus Lupin, and his recent response to being asked about it has only fueled our hopes even more.
For quite some time, enthusiasts have imagined Andrew Garfield portraying a youthful Remus Lupin in a potential Harry Potter production. With a new Harry Potter series currently underway, this idea has resurfaced in the public sphere once more. It was sparked when someone posed the question to Garfield during an interview for his film We Live In Time. However, it seems that many commentators have suggested he may be too old to portray a young werewolf character. On the other hand, they believe he would excel in playing the mature version of Lupin, and I concur with this opinion.
Andrew Garfield Was Asked About Playing Young Lupin
There’s consistently been a captivating interest towards the group of young Marauders – James Potter, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew – with the internet often discussing ideal actors to portray them. Among these discussions, Andrew Garfield has emerged as a top contender for playing Lupin, due to his undeniable suitability for the role, as numerous tweets, TikToks, and YouTube fan edits have highlighted.
Considering this, as the Harry Potter series approaches, the actor was questioned by the BBC regarding fans’ desires for him to portray a younger version of the cherished Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. In reply, he stated:
This is a question I don’t know how to answer. I will consider any role offered, how’s that?

Essentially, he didn’t provide much feedback, but neither did he reject the idea…which is quite intriguing! Additionally, the 400 thousand likes and 5 million views suggest that there’s a strong desire for this to occur. Yet, there are numerous comments from fans that highlight a potential issue with this casting choice, and I find myself in agreement with their concerns.
The Fans Pointed Out That Andrew Garfield Is Too Old To Play Young Lupin, So He Should Just Play Present-Day Lupin
It’s pointed out that in this proposed fan casting, Lupin is supposed to be a teenager, while Andrew Garfield is 41 years old. Many believe it would be challenging for him to convincingly portray a teenager now, as suggested by comments on this TikTok video.
Actually, I’ve got an idea! Instead of playing the young version, why not take on the role of the adult Lupin? That suggestion was swiftly made by fans in response to the TikTok post. Their comments ranged from:
- what about just…Remus Lupin. Not the young version of him. But quite literally just Professor Lupin. -Ren
- he could play teacher lupin, ARE WE FORGETTING HE’S GROWN ??😭 -haon
- he is THE Remus Lupin -Sarina (moony’s version)
- Not Yong lupin lol just lupin -noobmaster.69.1
- wdym a young version? he needs to be Lupin as an adult😅😂😂 -AnaWho
- Honestly at this point he should just be cast as current Lupin in the HBO show -Anna Elise
- He’s literally the exact age David Thewlis was in Azkaban. -Cobi
What To Watch Next
The movie “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” is widely recognized as one of the top films from the 2000s. For your viewing pleasure, here are an additional 99 movies you might enjoy.
That last point is a great one. When David Thewlis joined the Harry Potter cast in 2004 for Prisoner of Azkaban, he was 41 years old. His performance as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is legendary, and he’s one of the reasons why the third Harry Potter movie is so beloved.
Andrew Garfield’s energy in portraying the multifaceted wizard and werewolf character was deeply moving and intricate. His emotional depth as the professor grappling with his newfound powers while aiding his late friend’s son was outstanding. I believe that Andrew Garfield is more than capable of managing this character’s complexities flawlessly. (Paraphrased from your original text)
In a fascinating twist, I imagine the actor from The Social Network instructing a young Harry Potter on how to cast a flawless Patronus spell. It’s delightful that internet users could potentially replicate this scene themselves. Although he may be too old to reprise his younger character now, he would perfectly embody the mature Harry Potter who consistently came to the aid of the title wizard.
Currently, our fan-casting for Professor Lupin in the upcoming Harry Potter project remains a dream scenario for now. It’s something we’ll have to be patient about. In the interim, Andrew Garfield’s new film, “We Live In Time,” is out in theaters this year, 2024. And if you’re hankering for more of David Thewlis as Lupin, you can easily stream all the Harry Potter movies with a Max subscription.
