Sorta on, sorta off topic

     When I really like a book or movie I will play with it in my head, putting the characters in difference situations to get a feel for how well conceived they are.   I was considering the Potterverse last night and thinking how very carefully, and beautifully, constructed it was in terms of the characters that "fit" in the general feel of the place. Almost every character  or situation I thought of, from novels to plays to movies would be terriblely jarring. 

     Then it hit me, a vision: Captain Jack Sparrow, wand in one hand, wand in the other. Captain Jack Sparrow sailing the Black Pearl in search of a lost dragon's treasure.  Captain Jack Sparrow, drunk as a skunk, waving his wand in the middle of a battle and coming up with the most unexpected spells. 

    Dumbledore would love him, Snape would hate him, Hagrid would buy dangerous animals from him............

PS Jack Sparrow is a character from the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean"
