What was the carpetversion like? I tried to avoid stuff like that, but was it different to the book?

You're right, DD could have gone down a very differnet path, but I like that whole plot because he *didn't* turn into a villain, even though he had the power. And I don't really think it was just the wand; even when he was a first year he was exceptional. It looks like we're going to have to agree to disagree on this one... :)

And James and Sirius, were pretty dickish when they were at school, but we still love them. *loves*
