Upside-Down Magic

Great story for children below 12.

Shows the ups and downs in friendship,loving yourself.

My son and I are huge fans of the books and was expecting so much more from this I only gave it a 3 because my son still enjoyed parts of the movie but for me it was a huge disappointment They missed out several important characters, the fact Nory went to live with her aunt and also changed some characters powers completely For me it was a complete let down when it had so much potential to be something special

Best friends Nory and Reina are excited to go to magic school, Sage Academy for Magical Studies. The students are divided into five classes depending on their magical abilities. Reina is a fire starter and joins the Flare class. Nory transforms into animals which means that she is supposed to join the Fluxer class. She cannot hold onto a single shape and is instead sent to Upside-Down Magic. She joins three other misfits who cannot do their abilities in a traditional way. They are expected to wear down their magic until they can return to the world as nobodies.

I actually like this Disney TV movie for kids. The message is good. The kids are good and sweet. The production is fine for a TV movie. I don't know anything about the books and I don't want to know. It's fine. It's very fine.

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)

When I first saw the trailer I thought "ugh. Just a Disney Harry Potter knock off" but then I tried the movie and it was nothing like Harry Potter! I have watched this movie twice because I enjoyed it so much! The 2nd time I showed my mom and she enjoyed it too! I would suggest it to ages under 14ish.
