    Nothing like the book

    I can get why they didn't make it like the book but at least make a bit similar to it, make the plot lines similar or something, i absolutely despise this movie if 2nd grade me saw this they would be so sad because of how much of a disappointment this movie is. If you like this movie what is wrong with you. Even the characters are nothing like how they were in the books, you can picture Elliot as some cool dude not some weird idiot. you can picture Andres as a nerd with no control over anything but again in the movie they make him into some perfect boy who ends up with the main character. Oh and don't get me started with all the character that were cut, All of the characters were cut except Nora Andres, Elliot and Pepper. and they turn the nice inspiring teacher into the opposite of what she was a boy who is janitor who puts the students down on their weird magic instead of putting them up.

    Suitable for children

    Suitable for children under 13, not suitable for adults like other well-known magic movies

    Disappointing.

    Honestly, it's a rip-off of Harry Potter. The plot was so predictable and the characters had cliche personalities and overall the message kinda sucked. I don't recommend. (This is my first bad review)

    Good message

    I thought this movie was pretty good. I like the message of "be the best version of yourself." These kids are outcasts but in the end turn out to be better than anyone realized. I have an autistic child and this message resonated with me for him. The story and characters were cute and it kept us engaged.

    Great message

    It's great what this book/movie is trying to teach the children of this generation. The whole mantra of this move is self acceptance and finding your own power especially for kids who might not fit in or have learning disabilities. Teaches acceptance and tolerance and Lays foundations of good morals and ethics and life skills. it gladdens me to see movies like this now a days.
