The sheer number of fanvids that exist on tumblr telling the story of the young Marauders is enough to let me know that I am not alone in desperately wanting to see their story on the big screen. I don't know why JK is so resistant to developing more content about arguably the most interesting group of characters she's ever created, but it's really starting to negatively impact my day to day life.

Imagine it. An ill-fated circle of friends and lovers who launch a noble rebellion against a growing evil in the wizarding community.
