I rather think of a Jack-centric, with you know, the giants, the size difference etc. That guy's been so useless so far. I think someone mentioned the possibility of Jack being Hansel? Which isn't a lot better than Jack being Facilier but at least it would give Jack some much-needed attention.

Here's a thought: Gretel and her brother (left unnamed) stumble upon the Blind Witch, Gretel becomes her slave while her brother is imprisoned to eventually be eaten. Gretel devises a plan to escape only to be caught, but instead of eating her, the Witch offers to teach her magic if she sacrifices her brother. Gretel accepts, but instead of eating her brother, the Witch reveals that she is Gothel and was testing to see if Gretel is the Guardian. Since she failed, the Witch keeps Gretel locked up while sending her brother away. Gretel becomes a member of the Coven, her brother grows up and is revealed to be Jack, awake in Hyperion Heights and seeking revenge on Gretel. That works, but I would have the brother named Hansel, and have Jack just be an alias that he was using. Shoot, I omitted I was picturing Jack as Hop-o'-My-Thumb! Ohhhh that works a lot better. All that has to be done is turn the ogre into a giant and he's easily both characters. Maybe instead of Hop-o'-My-Thumb and his brothers, we could get Jack and Henry. (maybe also not have Jack get the ogre's daughters killed?)

The problem is, how does this tie into the Coven?
