Okay guys, I think it’s time...

So for years the Harry Potter fandom has been fancasting these four boys as the Marauders:

Aaron Taylor-Johnson as James Potter

Ben Barnes as Sirius Black

Andrew Garfield as Remus Lupin

Jamie Bell as Peter Pettigrew

Now there are some alternatives for these fancasts but the four above are the most popular and are the ones you will probably see most often. However, it was pointed out a while ago that these actors are literally old enough to now play the adult!Marauders. Our boys have officially grown up :,(

So... I decided, why not find some more age appropriate Marauders?

Obviously the four og’s will always be the go to, but I thought it would be fun to cast them with people who fit the age range. Now, this is all just my opinion so don’t take it too siriusly (lol get it? Like Siri-? Okay, moving on).

Starting off with the legend himself, we have Noah Schnapp as James Potter:

When it comes to casting James I think it is very important to remember that Harry looks just like his father. Idk if you noticed but it’s mentioned once or twice in the books 🙃

And I mean... look at this. You can’t look me in the eyes and tell me that they don’t look alike

(also s/o to @wallowskywalker for creating and posting the pic of Noah edited as Harry Potter! I edited the scar out of the first pic to give it more of a James vibe but guys the original edit is amazing and all credit goes to them :))

Next, we have Finn Wolfhard as Sirius Black:

Yes, I know, this kid is everywhere, but look at the facts:

Finn is already often used as early year versions of Ben’s Sirius and/or Regulas, so he obviously has the Black family look.

If you really wanna see Finn as a Sirius-like character, watch The Goldfinch. His character Boris reminds me of Sirius so much and he even gives his friend in the movie, Theo, the nickname Potter because of his glasses.

Plus there is the added bonus that him and Noah are actual friends in real life and have filmed together so it wouldn’t be hard to edit them together.

Joshua Bassett as Remus Lupin:

I know y’all love this recent white boy of the month so here’s why I think he would be a good Remus.

Honestly, I had trouble trying to decide who could do our precious werewolf justice. I eventually decided on Joshua because for some reason he gives off big ‘adorable and wholesome/responsible and studious’ vibes and that’s what our Remus is all about.

(Plus, imagine him and Finn as Wolfstar 👀)

Graham Verchere as Peter Pettigrew:

When I saw this kid in Stargirl I instantly thought he gave off big Peter vibes. The energy I got from Graham’s character was very ‘I’m just happy to be here’ and I think that honestly sums up Peter. Early on in the movie there was a scene where a rat climbed onto Graham’s shoulder and that’s when I knew it was fate.

(He isn’t necessarily big like Peter was described in the book but neither is Jamie Bell so 🤷‍♀️)

Bonus:

Danielle Rose Russell as Lily Evans:

Now I know some of y’all are gonna be mad and/or confused about this one.

Again, this is just my opinion!

It took me forever to find a Lily Evans that I liked. Now I know that there are about a hundred young ginger actresses and that half of them work with Finn Wolfhard, but they just don’t fit the image of how I see Lily Evans.

I’ve always had the headcanon that Lily’s hair was more auburn red or dark red rather than just ginger, and that she had little to no freckles. I mainly think this way because it differentiates Lily from Ginny.

I also know someone is going to bring up her eyes, but if we are casting off of movie!Harry (like casting Noah as James based off of his similarities to Daniel) than her eyes match Daniel’s blue ones perfectly. I mean, it’s better than Rowling saying, “The only really important thing is that his eyes look like his mother’s eyes. So if you’re casting Lily, there needs to be a resemblance, but they don’t absolutely have to be green” and then casting a girl with brown eyes to play Lily (no hate, just facts).

Plus, Danielle already plays a witch on Legacies so why not???

Final Points:

(I’m not great at editing please don’t judge me)

(Also, all I did was photoshop the new faces onto an edit with the og fancast so s/o to whoever made the original :))

You can disagree with these, that’s totally fine. Obviously, I would never try to replace the original Marauders, they’re iconic. This was just something I thought of for fun :)
