I can't say much about this movie. It's pretty simple and small-budgeted. The special effects are amateur and the children actors are, well, children actors. They're not at all bad, but it does sound like just repeating lines at times. If you don't like that type of performance and prefer the trained technique, you might not like this. But the movie is charming and the story line is even more interesting, especially if you like Harry Potter and all that wizard magic stuff. I personally found this better than Harry Potter. Just ignore the newbie acting, and enjoy it as an indie wizard movie. I'm sure the actors and director had a lot of fun making it. I have to say one actor was particularly good in his role, and that was the teacher. Also the gypsy woman at the carnival was not bad. She gave me the creeps I needed. I recommend this movie to anyone who likes magic and adventure, and does not feel awkward watching a children movie. Kids will love it, but adults may enjoy it as well.
