The third entrance in the dealership , The Prisoner of Azkabanmovie is wide regarded as one of the good entries of theHarry Potterseries . It ’s considerably gloomy than former moviesThe Sorcerer ’s StoneandThe Chamber of Secretsand sets the foundations for what ’s to take after . However , one of its biggest flaw is its bankruptcy to amply lift the chapeau on the Marauders : James Potter , Sirius Black , Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew .

The quartet was all at school together and , while that ’s something fan of the movies are aware of , the blockbusters did n’t give out every small detail about their friendship .

The Whomping Willow Was Planted Because Of Lupin

Albus Dumbledore is a great champion . He ’s kind and believes everybody deserves a fair crack at Hogwarts , regardless of their backstory or retiring . And that ’s why he allows Remus Lupin to learn at the castle despite the fact he ’s a werewolf - one of the most dangerous creatures on the major planet .

In monastic order to control Lupin could become a werewolf away from the rest of the pupils at the school , Dumbledore has the Whomping Willow planted in the Hogwarts priming . This allows him dependable passage to the Shrieking Shack , where his howling and screams would spark rumors that the surface area is haunt .

…And Wormtail Is The Key

so as to get into the Whomping Willow , it requires something - or somebody - small to press the knot in the tree . This makes the ordinarily - aggressive thing twist passive , countenance multitude to embark it ’s premises . Sirius Black apply Crookshanks to enshroud out there during his time on the running play .

But , year antecedently , the Marauders would rely on Peter Pettigrew . Pettigrew would turn into a rat , press the knot and let entry to himself and others in the operation . One time , however , matter very nigh backfired …

Sirius And James Nearly Killed Snape

Harry ’s big enemy during his clip at Hogwarts was Draco Malfoy . For the Marauders , however , it was Severus Snape . They wholly loathed the next Potions Master and , on one occasion , James and Sirius nearly had Snape kill .

The pair , know that Snape was grow untrusting of Lupin and their own selves , laid a trap . They hoped the Whomping Willow would bolt down Snape when he attempted to join them going down to the Shrieking Shack but , at the very last minute , they chickened out . James call the whole thing off and it ’s just as well . If not , Snape could have give out and would never have been able-bodied to protect Harry from Voldemort ’s anger .

Lily Didn’t Like Them

While we ’re on the subject of Snape , we may as well refer Lily Evans . Fans of the Harry Potter movies bang that the Potions Master love her dearly but she broke his ticker , instead settling down and enjoying a felicitous , loving relationship with his big foeman James Potter .

What the movies do n’t show , however , is that Lily in the first place hated the Marauders - and James in particular . She considered him chesty and Harry , during a secret dive into Snape ’s onetime memories , overhear her saying she ’d never get with him . It appears James has some magic spell up his sleeve , eventually woo her .

Only Remus Regretted His Behaviour Towards Snape

As mentioned above , the Marauders hated Snape . But , out of the quartet , the only one to show any remorse for the way they treated their grownup foeman was Remus Lupin .

Harry peach to Lupin during the events of theOrder of the Phoenix , seeking some peace after see his father bullying Snape in the Pensieve . It ’s there that the werewolf admit he and his champion ’s behavior was Snape was wrong , and that they should have know better . That aver , it still does n’t change the fact there ’s a big mutual disapproval .

Sirius Got Framed For More Than Pettigrew’s ‘Death’

In thePrisoner of Azkabanmovie , Harry overhears a conversation between Cornelius Fudge , Madam Rosmerta and Minerva McGonagall inside the Three Broomsticks . There , he listen in as they discuss how Sirius Black , having been confronted by Peter Pettigrew , blot out his capital supporter .

What is n’t mentioned , potentially because it ’s somewhat dark , is that 13 muggles also died that night . Pettigrew did n’t just frame Sirius for the deaths of himself , Lily and James but also innocent bystander . Hauntingly , Sirius just laugh . He knew he ’d been outsmarted but , deep down , swore revenge …

Sirius Escaped By Starvation

Another of the third picture ’s grown flaws is that is n’t does n’t really explain how Sirius escaped Azkaban . It ’s a dissimilar level in the source material , however , with Sirius spread up on how he was able to get away - produce wizarding world history in the process .

Sirius explains that he starved himself for months and months , hold up because of his sheer desire to get one over on Pettigrew - who he ’d recognized in the Daily Prophet disguised as Scabbers hide among the Weasleys . The Dementors did n’t sense his presence as they ca n’t detect happiness or Bob Hope . And , as a solution , Sirius is able-bodied to force himself through the bars to freedom .

They Transformed In Their Fifth Year

During Harry ’s fifth class at Hogwarts , he encounters his fair portion of job . The majority of the wizarding world does n’t believe him about Lord Voldemort ’s return , Dolores Umbridge is out to make his life a living misery and he ’s also got the pocket-sized matter of his O.W.Ls , important wizarding test that will shape his future .

thing were unlike for father James and his friend , however . After year of studying , they all became Animagi to keep Lupin company during his time as a werewolf . James becomes a stag , Sirius a dog-iron and Peter a stinker . Hence the sobriquet Prongs , Padfoot and Wormtail respectively .

Lupin Became A Parent

One of the most - gravel elision from theDeathly Hallows : Part 2was the conclusion to omit all mention of Teddy Lupin .

buff of the ledger know that Remus and Nymphadora Tonks have a child together shortly before the struggle of Hogwarts . Remus had previously considered abandoning his pregnant wife but , after Harry give him a stern prune down , he changed his thinker . He made Harry godfather to Teddy shortly afterward and the Boy Who Lived , as he plan to break into Gringotts , thinks about his recklessness and how he ’s not too unlike to Sirius Black , his own godfather .

Wormtail Redeemed Himself

The last fans see of Wormtail is in theDeathly Hallows : Part 1 . He gets criticize out as Harry and Ron flee the basement of Malfoy Manor with a fiddling avail from Dobby the House Elf .

But thing are unlike in the ledger . Peter is confronted by Harry , reminding his male parent ’s old friend that he owes him a favour having carry through his life four years previously . And Wormtail pauses , allow the Chosen One to escape . He pays the ultimate price , however , with his own fluent hand turn on him and choke him to death . Lord Voldemort had put contingency plans in place should his retainer ’s trueness ever falter again .
