noting some more inconsistencies

[me, previously]:
>>That, and what was Peter trying to do with Lupin's wand? It 
wouldn't make much sense if you needed a want to transform into an 
animal, since Sirius does it without a want. I guess they were going 
for dramatic effect there.<<

GulPlum responded:

>>For one thing, he did so in the book. ;-) For another, the movie 
goes to some lengths to indicate that a magical person needs their 
wand (I'll have more to say on this elsewhere). A wizard's first 
instinct is to make sure he has a wand with him, and that makes him a 
dangerous person. By implication, Wormtail is now without a wand and 
needs to seek a source of power elsewhere...<<

::embarrassed look:: I guess he does do that in the book...but he was 
*chained* to Ron at that point, so I guess it made more sense there. 
Maybe it just didn't visually work for me, he seemed to be reaching 
for the wand and pointing it at himself, instead of just running away 
once he had his chance. BUT, thank you for reminding me that he did 
that in the book, I was worried they were trying to make it look like 
he needed a wand to transform, which would have been just silly.
