All I remember him saying was no Dark Forest and no third floor
corridor, myself.  I'm seeing it again on Tuesday so I'll let you know.

Good point, Barb -- I don't think we're told much about wandless magic
by JKR, although it obviously exists (animagus changes, for example,
and Apparation).  Maybe it's more advanced and we'll learn more in a
later book?

I guess I would have liked to see more classroom work, or students
practicing charms in the background, or something.
