    The biggest challenge is in distinguishing the teen hero (Steven Strait: Sky High) from the teen villain (Sebastian Stan); they appear to have been cast from the same Teen Hottie (Male) mold, and in the same shades of plastic, too boot.

    They're NOT warlocks.. they're witches there's a diference.. the one in the movie that is the 5th they thought was dead HE can be counted as the warlock.
    Warlocks are bad & those IN the Covenant itself are not.
