Unpopular opinion. Remus and Sirius are not supposed to be hot in PoA. Sirius just got out of Azkaban and Remus is always described as looking exhausted and shabby in the book. I can see Sirius looking better in GoF but they are both supposed to look awful in PoA and only Sirius is implied to have ever been attractive in the books when he was younger as far as I remember.

If it's your ship then you can imagine them as you like, but I don't think canon Remus was ever a hunk and they'd both seen some shit by the time we're introduced to them so they probably aged like milk.

I was gonna say. Younger, yes, definitely, but 'hotter' will depend on whether you like 'fresh out of the madhouse and living on the streets as a dog' chic, at least in Sirius' case. I always pictured Remus as just sort of tired.

This. I get being disappointed that the movies didn’t parallel Harry and co. in book seven being only a few years younger than Harry’s parents, the other Marauders, Snape, etc when James and Lily were killed, because casting Rickman as Snape meant everyone had to be older. And I’m not sure the movies would’ve emphasized that parallel even if the actors had been younger.

But I’m always weirded out that the hotness of Sirius and especially Remus was and is such a sore spot; that’s not the point of the characters and wouldn’t make much sense for the reasons you stated.

Actually I get super annoyed when people harp on how an actor isn’t hot enough to play a character unless it’s a plot point because the character is a supermodel or whatever. And I do get mad when ugly characters are played by gorgeous actors, or worse, the adaptation just drops their ugliness as a plot point entirely. Us uggos deserve to see ourselves onscreen too.

TBH, I think with Remus it's not so much that he's not hot, but more that he doesn't have presence or charisma, which I think is part of the character.
