I doubt he'll use it for more than when it's convenient to use a scrany boy form.

I bet he'd use Kitty's form a lot...mostly to distract male magicians :P

True.
And, of course, exagerate the curves :).

Didn't he just do that for Nat? XD
Yeah he did. Wily Bart.
Well, I think Bart would use Kitty's form only after she dies. He might wait for a 100 years & then use it. That is, if Bart gets summoned anytime soon.

But JS himself stated Nat in the end could be termed more 'noble' as he changed for the good. That might mean JS would want Bart to use Nat's form more often.

Yes, but in respect to Bartimaeus, he and Ptolemy did the same thing: sacrificed themselves to save Bartimaeus (though there are extra circumstances with Nat).

I think it'll still be Ptolemy. It won't be Nathaniel because 1) People would recognise him and 2) Bart expressed his dislike for Nathaniel's appearance, voice and bodily co-ordination throughout all 3 books.
It might be Kitty, but maybe not because he was only wearing her form to annoy Nat. Besides, she's not in hiding any more so it would probably be stupid if bart wore her form because there'd be 2 of them.
When I set out from the boy's attic window, my head was so full of competing plans and complex strategems that I didn't look where I was going and flew straight into a chimney.

Wow, you have a lot of coherent posts.

Actually not really.
There would be two Kittys, but Bartimaeus' version would be younger, and he would use a different name.
The actual, original Kitty apparently looks older than one would expect, because of her trip to the Other Place.
And yet more evidence for Ptolemy, thank you :)
Pfft.
Mine are coherent when I bother to be.
I don't bother for you :P

I'm still going for Ptolemy, and Kitty when necessary.
Though he could, of course, just use any old chick he's seen anywhere.

thankyou.
and yes i agree with Dansariki, because thats pretty much what i was saying anyway. i said it would still be ptolemy and maybe kitty, but i'm tipping that if he did wear kitty's form it would be kitty before her trip to the other place, as bart did for ptolemy. but then again, i still don't know whether bart would use her guise while she was still alive.

Doubtful, unless to lure some lonely magician :P
He's leave, out of respect, until she gave him permission (unlikely) or she died (inevitable).
And yeah, pre-OP visit.

i'd say a mix of nathanial and ptolemy.

cuz he respects ptolemy cause he trusted him (by goin to the OP) and saved him...

nathanial cuz he trusted bart (by letting him in his body) and saved him....

so they're both equal kinda :yes:

A mix? You mean as in that old TV show Dragon Ball Z where two guys would like fuse together to make a "more powerful" guy? Or do you mean he'd just change between the two guises?

The latter, I think. It will be rather funny to see them fused together. An interesting thought though.

Mmmm, well in that case I disagree. I still think Ptolemy or Kitty (pre-OP visit).
