Evolution of Michael Scott: Selfish Boss to Endearing Leader

 Michael Scott Michael Scott is a character from the TV show, “The Office.” He is the manager of the Dundee Mifflin Paper Company in Scranton, Pennsylvania. He usually exhibits inappropriate behavior such as rude remarks, lack of professionalism, being disruptive etc with his employees. Despite being a comic-relief character, Michael Scott undergoes significant character development throughout the show. He goes from an ill-mannered and selfish boss to a kind and helpful leader.  Family Rather than seeing his employees as purely people who work for him, Scott starts to view them as his family and cares for them.

Screen to Stone

How I would design memorials for deceased characters in Harry Potter: Remus Lupin ( https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2f/Remus_Lupin.jpeg  ) - Remus Lupin was a werewolf that taught at Hogwarts for a year. He was a very kind person that was also friends with Harry Potter’s parents. He continued to persevere and help Harry fight Voldemort. He died during the Battle of Hogwarts against the Death Eaters. I would make his memorial a floating moon representative of his werewolf powers. This moon would change depending on the moon phase and would glow differently every full moon to warn the students of any werewolves. The moon represents emotion and the periods of life which would represent his legacy living on. This would be placed in front of the forest at Hogwarts.

He was a wise and intelligent wizard who sacrificed hims...
