Storyline

Marni and Dylan have graduated high school and are now going to go to college at Witch U in Halloweentown. Marni is offered a full scholarship, Marni's mother of course does not want her daughter at school in Halloweentown so she forces Dylan to tag along. At the school, witches and warlocks can't use magic. Marni soon makes a new friend named Aneesa, whom is a genie. Marni soon discovers that she is partly to blame for the rules against the use of magic at school. At one point a box, with the name "S. Cromwell" inscribed on it, magically appears in front of her. Most people at the school believe that Marnie used her magic to conjure up the box, but it was brought to her by fate. The final installment of the Halloweentown series.

User Reviews

Lucas Grabeel&Sara Paxton were amazing!

I was so geared up to see this movie since August and it was truly the best of the 4! Lucas Grabeel (HOTTIE) was awesome Sara Paxton (whom I normally don't like) was amazing as well! They have great chemistry Lucas and Sara!

Ethan did something I didn't except! I'm not gonna give it away for people who haven't sen it! And Marnie really was shocked but got over it quickly! And I mean *very* quickly!

The Sinister sisters (Kristy Wu, Kellie Cockrell, and Kattie Cockrell) were awesome! I'm not saying I actually liked them, but I think they gave this movie a little comedy!

My favorite scene: The laundry room scene between Ethan&Marnie!

Least favorite scene: When the Sinister sister turned Dylan into a dog!

Funniest scene: The very last scene!
