Bart:
	And, of course, if you have a good student who is also a prankster, you 
have a problem on your hands. In spite of Hermoine's pooh-poohing, Fred 
and George Weasely are first class artificers (that's not a canon word, 
but it fits). Anybody here see the movie, REAL GENIUS? It's an 
exaggeration, but you might be surprised how little an exaggeration...
