Remus Lupin

Costume Debut: February 2010

Costume Reprised: November 2010, December 2010

The weekend that Irvin and his friends went to Boston to view Harry Potter: The Exhibition in February 2010, Irvin did an impromptu cosplay of Remus Lupin. He had with him a stuffed bear dressed as Teddy. Ironically, that night there was a full moon, and Irvin and his friends stumbled upon a chocolate store reminiscent of Honeydukes. Wierd. Later, when they went to dinner, they got a high chair for Teddy, since Remus has to act like a good father. They also found a stuffed black dog, which Irvin took naughty Sirius/Remus pictures with.

In the fall, Irvin created a Dancing Death Eaters routine to "Dear Aunt Celestial" by Celestial Warmbottom, which is a song about Lupin and Tonks. So for DDE performances at the NYC Wrock Festival and at their one-year-anniversary celebration, Irvin donned an altered (more dancey) version of Lupin. This would continue to happen at DDE performances over the years, but as the costume changes got quicker and quicker, the costume got less Lupin-y and more "throw a Gryffindor tie on and let's go!"
