At first this comment confused me, but I think I figured it out now.:-) I may have given the wrong impression because I made an HP reference in there without actually saying I was doing that. The Devil's Backbone was never a book, just a movie. I was just sort of thinking about how both HP and this movie had a character I really liked who started out as the bully, but in HP Harry reacts sort of like a girl in hating the mean boy forever but in DB Carlos ends up becoming the kids best friend.:-)
