Edward Remus "Teddy" Lupin[4] (b. April 1998), occasionally known as Ted, was a half-blood wizard, the only child and son of the late Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks. He was, like his mother, a Metamorphmagus, but did not inherit his father's lycanthropy.
Teddy was named in honour of his maternal grandfather Edward Tonks, who was murdered shortly before his birth. Harry Potter was named as his godfather.[5]
Both of Teddy's parents were killed during the Battle of Hogwarts, leaving him an orphan. As a result, Teddy was raised by his maternal grandmother Andromeda, with help from his godfather. He began attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 2009. During his time at Hogwarts Teddy was Sorted into Hufflepuff House and in his seventh year was appointed Head Boy.[3] He was also the boyfriend of Victoire Weasley.
Biography
Early life (1998-2009)
Edward "Teddy" Lupin was born in April 1998 to Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks. Some months before his birth, his father expressed regret to Harry Potter of marrying Tonks and fathering a child, fearing that his child would be a werewolf and face discrimination like he had. Remus wanted to join the trio in their mission to destroy Lord Voldemort's Horcruxes until Harry chastised him for being a coward. Remus fled in anger and shame.
When Teddy was born, Remus found the trio and immediately made Harry Teddy's godfather, completely forgiving him for his harsh words. He was named in honour of his maternal grandfather Edward Tonks.
On 2 May 1998, his mother and father both fought in the Battle of Hogwarts, leaving him with his maternal grandmother Andromeda Tonks.[6] Unfortunately both of Teddy's parents died in the battle, leaving him an orphan and was therefore raised by his grandmother.[6] Teddy usually spent much of his time with the Potter and Weasley families, who were also distant relatives of his through his maternal grandmother's side of the family.
Hogwarts years (2009-2016)
Teddy began his education in the magical arts at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry on 1 September 2009. He was Sorted into Hufflepuff.[3]
Teddy, described as a "lanky, half-werewolf", attended the 2014 Quidditch World Cup with his family where Rita Skeeter, who wrote a scathing article that he featured in, felt he was behaving in a very shameful way, as he sought out dark corners and was constantly kissing Victoire Weasley.[7]
During the final of the Quidditch World Cup between Bulgaria and Brazil, Teddy and Victoire seemed to be, as reported by Rita Skeeter, "far more interested in what they were saying to each other than the match." This caused her father Bill to swap seats with his "now sulky" daughter. Later, Bill took his attention off his daughter, Victoire, allowing her and Teddy to "find their way back into adjacent seats".[8]
He was made Head Boy in his seventh year. That year, James Potter II was Sorted into Gryffindor, much to Teddy's disappointment.[3]
After Hogwarts (2016-?)
On 1 September 2017, Teddy came to Platform Nine and Three-Quarters to see off Victoire; on that day, he had sandy hair, rather than turquoise blue. It was remarked that it would be nice if he was an official member of the Potter/Weasley family. Of the three Potter children, he seemed to be the closest with the youngest, Lily. She didn't laugh at his relationship with Victoire Weasley, unlike James.[9] Lily very much hoped Victoire and Teddy would get married so that he would become a real part of their family.
Teddy Lupin did not become a werewolf like his father, despite claims by Rita Skeeter to the contrary. He was, however, a Metamorphmagus, like his mother.[10]
Physical appearance
Being a Metamorphmagus, Ted was able to change his physical appearance at will.
Magical abilities and skills
Metamorphmagus: Ted was a Metamorphmagus, a rare magical skill he inherited from his mother. As a baby, he had black hair that turned into ginger hair, and later turquoise hair.
