Peg now:
  Ron's broken wand was a disaster, but I was wondering last night if he didn't do a very good job when he patched it up with Spell-o Tape, maybe making it function much worse.  (Ron's not so great with the details, and I would imagine if you didn't line the break up correctly when you patched your wand back together, you might have problems.  Like gluing the arm of your Hummel figurine on backward after it's broken off.)  Hagrid's pieced-together wand seems to function fairly normally, although he did only manage to give Dudders a pig's tail when he intended to turn him entirely into a pig.  His excuse was that Dudley was close enough to being a pig that the spell didn't work, but maybe it was actually because of his broken wand...
