Chapter 3
How a person becomes a werewolf:
A person becomes a werewolf when a werewolf dies on a full moon. (example: Remus Lupine) If a werewolf dies a person while it is not a full moon, the vistime becomes half-werewolf, which means he is not entirely a werewolf. So he does not turn into a werewolf, but he is attracted to blood and raw meat. (example: Bill Weasley)
Appearance:
A werewolf looks very much like a normal wolf. The differences between them are subtle and make it difficult to physically distinguish them from one another. The only signs that make it possible to notice the humanity of a werewolf are the small size of its muzzle and its pupils as well as its less provided tail.
Behaviour:
Although a werewolf is physically very similar to a common wolf, its behavior is quite different. A wolf is not naturally aggressive and will only attack a human in exceptional circumstances, while a werewolf will be extremely aggressive and bloodthirsty towards humans, but will hardly ever take an interest in other creatures.
Reproduction:
It is extremely rare for a male werewolf and a female werewolf to interbreed on a full moon night and decide to breed. In this case, they give birth to cubs perfectly similar to real baby wolves (both in their physique and in their behavior), but endowed with an exceptional intelligence. This exceptional fact has reportedly only happened twice so far and one of those litters was once released into the Hogwarts Forest.
History:
It is assumed that the first werewolves originated from northern Europe.
In 1637, the Code of Conduct for Werewolves was created in order to identify werewolves and force them to make a solemn commitment not to attack others and to shut themselves up once a month, during the full moon, to protect those around them. However, no one agreed to sign this code as no werewolf was willing to disclose their condition.
A few centuries later, the Werewolf Registry established by Newt Scamander in 1947 faces the same problem: Werewolves, too ashamed and afraid of being rejected from society, remain silent. A few still agree to be added to the list, but it remains incomplete for many years.
Over the years, the Department of Control and Regulation of Magical Creatures has repeatedly transferred the case of werewolves to the Animal Section and then to the Being and vice versa, no one being able to agree on whether a werewolf is a being or an animal. The decision was finally made to place the Werewolf Registry and the Werewolf Capture Unit in the Animals Section and the Werewolf Welfare Office in the Beings Section. But again, no werewolf dares to call on these services for fear of the reaction of those around him. Unused, this structure is finally abandoned.
In 1993, Dolores Ombrage drew up some anti-werewolf laws, almost forbidding them to find work.
Anecdotes:
According to some werewolves, Muggle flesh tastes different from that of wizards.
Tom Riddle relates that Rubeus Hagrid allegedly got himself into trouble during his schooling at Hogwarts by raising baby werewolves under his bed, which is actually a lie intended to slander Hagrid.
Remus Lupine as a werewolf in the third movie.
In the movie Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the werewolf that Professor Lupine transforms into does not match the description in the book. While the differences between a wolf and a werewolf are normally subtle, the film features a half-man, half-wolf hybrid that is very easy to tell apart from a real wolf.
The question "Give five signs allowing to identify a werewolf" was asked during the OWLs of 1975.
When Severus Snape replaces Remus Lupine as his Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, he asks for two scrolls of parchment on how to recognize and kill werewolves.
The werewolf is Penny Haywood's bogeyman.
Walks with Werewolves is a book written by Gilderoy Lockhart in which he recounts his (so-called) exploits.
