Edgar Mint Vs. August Rush

Has anyone seen the movie August Rush? I thought that Barry from Edgar Mint was alot like the character Wizard in the movie. They are both controlling and minipulative, and they both hang around with little kids. Barry even says that the Madsens are trying to make Edgar diffrenet and religous, and Wizard tells August that the school for music he is going to is trying to change him also. I thought that there are even similarities between August and Edgar in that they are both orphans on a quest.

They are similar characters in that they are both controlling of children who do not have anyone to protect them; however, wasn't Wizard making the children play music and give him the money. That is more like slavery than just mental abuse.
