* BadAss: Most of the main cast. Particular marks to Jack, who easily holds of Bellatrix with only SuperReflexes and 3rd year spells for 5 minutes, allowing Sirius to snipe her with a stunner. Moody notes admiringly that he has serious combat experience and that it took 12 top aurors to take her down last time.
