As Is Also True With Humans.

As is also true with humans. 🤟🏻 ♀️

GRYFFINDOR: He shouts to scare the monster, who will often turn aside. But the she-bear thus accosted rends the peasant tooth and nail. For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.“

–Rudyard Kipling (The Female of the Species)

Yes, it is tragic that Harry lost yet another father figure in this scene.

But what makes this the most heartbreaking, though, is Remus.

Look at his face. He is trying to restrain Harry from doing the very thing he wants to do himself - because he just lost his best friend. Again. After years of thinking Sirius was a traitor, and feeling completely alone in the world, he finally got his best friend back. Only to have him wrenched away before his eyes.

That first gif - the look on Remus‘s face is the most devastating part of this whole film. And yet, despite all he’s lost, he’s pushing through his own grief to try and protect Harry.

We’ve got to plan, we’ve got to figure it out!
