Jen D. here. I like your comparison with James although I have seen 
more of James at 15 than I would have liked and I don't get the 
impression that Ced thought that overmuch of himself. But yes, the 
comparison is apt. Two more obvious examples: Viktor Krum, not the 
DeathEater-in-training that a student of Karkarov's might be expected 
to be, and Fleur. Now I have to say the contrast in BookFleur was much 
more pronounced because we got to see that silver sheath of vela hair 
flip around a lot more and the cool exterior was played up to the 
hilt, but Fleur of the film was not the calm cool champion she seemed 
to be at the beginning. She positively fell all over herself to thank 
Harry and lucky Ron(MERCI!)at Gabrielle's rescue.And happily enough, 
these were pleasant discoveries. I keep trying to work out other 
characters. I think, hope, keep several digits crossed that in future, 
Peter will go into this category. If I don't miss my guess, he let 
Barty Crouch escape on purpose (to repay that life debt) but, as per 
usual, that's another film again.
Anymore ideas? I don't think we could have finished just yet...
Jen D., wondering what else we can dig up to fit this theme...
