Dead Poets Society boys = Marauders boys (parallels)
So, i think we can all agree that the Dead Poets Society boys reminds us so much of our beloved Marauders. And this thread is just to tell which character from DPS is like another character from The Marauders Era.
JAMES POTTER = NEIL PERRY + KNOX OVERSTREET
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think, James is most like Neil Perry in this movie. The ringleader of the group, kind and including of everyone, and the typical golden boy, very bright and extroverted. Protective and loyal to the people he love. A troublemaker to an extent (never doing harm). Also, his death is the great tragedy of the story, like James.
But, he is also like Knox Overstreet, on that whole lady business. Knox is totally infatuated with Chris (*cough* Lily Evans *cough*), and would do anything for her, even make a fool out of himself just to get her. Like James. Also, that grin that Knox has, you cant tell me that James didnt have that grin too!!
2. SIRIUS BLACK = CHARLIE DALTON
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Well, this is pretty obvious i believe. Charlie Dalton (Sirius) the best friend of Neil perry (James), like the Marauders. Charlie, like Sirius, is always the more reckless, rebellious and impulsive one, the very extroverted charming friend, who sometimes tend to do things that harm others, tho not on purpose. They are also the official drama queen of their groups. His family is very rich, like Sirius' family, and he has "FRUITY" written all over him. Also Sirius/Charlie, definitely had a thing for Remus/Meeks.
3. REMUS LUPIN = STEVEN MEEKS.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now, Meeks and Remus are very much like each other. They are both the "Smart guys", Charlie mentioning Meeks to excel in Latin, Trig and English, the main classes, where i can imagine that Remus is excelling in Charms, DADA and Transfiguration.
Meeks is willing to try anything at least once (except sex), and is a willing participant in most of the dumb shit his friends are doing, but he doesent seem like the type to do dumb shit, much like Remus.
Also, Remus/Meeks has a very good friendship with Frank/Pitts, and Frank/Pitts were closer to Remus/Meeks, than the others guys, whereas Remus/Meeks is more close to the other guys, but still a good friend to Frank/Pitts.
Also Remus/Meeks definitely had a thing for Sirius/Charlie, and they did fuck many times.
4. PETER PETTIGREW = TODD ANDERSON + RICHARD CAMERON
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now, i know many will probably disagree with me on this, but just hear me out.
Now, Peter is like Todd in many ways.
Todd is the shy kid. Or well, he was the shy kid until he was included by Neil, just like Peter was included by James (or so i would like to believe). He is a sweet boy and love his friends a lot (like the young Peter did). Todd struggles a lot in his classes and is afraid of presenting and confrontation like young Peter was. Todd was always outshined by his friends and brother, like Peter, but they both didnt mind very much. Todds friends tried to include him as much as possible, like the Marauders did with Peter in their Hogwarts years.
Buuuuut... Cameron was also like Peter. We see that in the bad qualities. Like, the betrayal Cameron did to Mr. Keating and to the Dead Poets. The way Cameron was reluctant to be a part of the Dead Poets schemes and rulebreaking, but still wanted to be a part of the group nontheless, like Peter with the Marauders. Both Cameron and Peter were weaker than their friends, and they both knew it, and betrayed them to be better/stronger than their friends. Also, the fact that they both got punishment for their betrayals, Cameron being punched in the face by Charlie, and Peter being killed by his own hand.
5. FRANK LONGBOTTOM = GERARD PITTS
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pitts were a part of the Dead Poets, but not that close with everyone (except Meeks/Remus). He liked to be their friend and he was a part of the the Dead Poets meetings and he talked with everyone quite well, but he wouldnt call himself their best friend.
The same with Frank Longbottom and the Marauders. Of course, in this case he wasnt a part of the Marauders like Pitts were with the Dead Poets, but they were both friends with everyone in their groups, but mainly close to one person, Meeks/Remus.
They are also both quite good in school and smart, but not that remarkable or outstanding, like their peers.
They are both sweet and kind boys, pretty much just a character that is "there", and not someone holding that much purpose in the storyline, but still a important character nontheless.
6. MINERVA MCGONAGALL = JOHN KEATING
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mr. Keating is like Minerva McGonagall in the teaching sense.
Mr. Keating were the Dead Poets favourite teacher, and he inspired them all. The Dead Poets also held a special place in his heart, despite all the dumb things they did. He was a brave professor, and he taught his students the way he wanted to, and was even fired for the ways he taught.
The same with Minerva. She was the Marauders favourite teacher too, and she also inspired them. They held a special place in her heart, and you cant convince me that Minerva didnt cry like Mr. Keating did, when she discovered that James/Neil was killed.

todd hated the idea of getting a roommate, at first. he hated a lot about the thought of going to welton, but getting a roommate was definitely high on his list. maybe because he didn't have one at balincrest, or maybe he didn't even live on campus at balincrest, and as much as he didn't love his home, it was still home, and he was sort of terrified of the thought he wouldn't have a space of his own anymore. he knew he would miss a place to call his room. so, he hated the idea of getting a roommate.
and neil seemed nice, of course. but todd's spent seventeen years on his own, seventeen years building up insecurities and terrible things to tell himself whenever he meets someone new, so he's certain neil's only nice to him because he feels bad. only nice out of obligation, because neil seems perfect. smart and popular and loud and nice to the quiet new kid just everything todd isn't. so, there's no doubt in his mind, at first, that when todd stays behind or todd's in a different room, neil's telling his friends about his roommate, the new kid, who started here too late to make any real friends, not that he'd know how to begin with, the shy weirdo loser he puts on a smile for.
but then the year goes on, and neil keeps being nice to him, and keeps dragging him along to have fun or spend time with his friends, and at some point todd stops calling them neil's friends and starts calling them their friends, his friends. and neil seems to like spending time with only him, too. todd's reluctant, at first - if you don't let anyone get close to you you can't let them down, he thinks - but neil seems sincere and neil seems perfect and neil seems nice and good and so he says okay.
so. neil's not his roommate. not only, of course. he still is, but neil's also his friend. his friend who tells him everything - almost everything, at least, there's some stuff he doesn't seem to like to talk about - and todd starts to open up to it, the insecurity starts to back off, because neil is good to him and neil treats him like a best friend. he has a best friend.
and he's still quiet sometimes, still quiet a lot of the time, he doesn't just stop being shy, it's been a core part of who he is for the past seventeen years and a few months with some friendly guys isn't going to make him a totally different person. but he lets himself laugh at their jokes, throw out some of his own and bite back when they bother him.
and so maybe he doesn't hate having a roommate so much, after all.
