Wasn't there one Irish guy, and he had an experiment blow up in his face?

Never gave a shit about the series but remember hearing about token characters having a dose of racism to them.

What's weird about that character is that the explosions and turning water into wine were (as far as I can recall) movie additions. In the books he was just another classmate.

Not just that, he was also obsessed with turning drinks into alcohol. As a 15 year old kid. I'm pretty sure he also tried to blow up multiple things as well, I don't think it was a one time thing.

We Irish weren't really bothered tbh.
