I love the Marauders. I love that people take time to create masterpieces based on characters which we see so little in canon. Their experiences at Hogwarts were hardly mentioned, yet we’ve developed our own collective ideas of how these 4 boys lived, loved and acted.

The Marauders were a group of very different personalities which blended together wonderfully- hence why they were such envied friends. Each member balances out the others perfectly and, without one, the group would not be the same. This is where my slightly unpopular opinion comes in.

There were FOUR Marauders. Four. Not three. Obviously, three of them are rightfully favoured over the other but their story wouldn’t have existed without ALL of them.

Peter Pettigrew was a morally flawed and, in future years, disgusting literary character... but he was a Marauder. No less of a Marauder than James, Sirius or Remus. His name’s on the map, he’s an Animagus and he was one of the most important building blocks of their complicated and sorrowful tale.

Please, please don’t leave him out of your fanarts or fanfics based on the Marauder’s time at Hogwarts. You may not like how he turned out (Heavens knows, I hate the man), but during his time at school, Peter was a good friend and an interesting part of the Marauder’s storyline. He’s the soft, shy alternative to James and Sirius’ loud personalities and Remus’ angst- without him there’s just a group of harsh nature’s clashing with each other.
