The movies have failed to elaborate on the topic of the Marauders even when it is a key aspect of the series. Though the movies have hinted at the bond of friendship among them, they have failed to capture the profound connection between James, Remus, Sirius, and Peter. James has been portrayed as arrogant, overshadowing his bravery and loyalty. Peter’s betrayal has been portrayed more as a plot device.
