Harry Potteresque?

[Musicalmistress]

Can any one recommend a film to watch with my 12year old daughter - she’s Harry Potter/Fantastic Beasts daft so something along those lines would be good.

A Series of Unfortunate Events
Spiderwick

Thanks #Remus unfortunate events we’ve done but will have a look at Spiderwick 🙂

Miss Peregrine

Or, for a wild card - has she seen The Goonies?

If she hasn't that's negligent parenting!

Percy Jackson?

Yep DS went from Harry Potter to Percy Jackson and is now obsessed with that. Loads of books but only 2 films though.

A third recommendation for Percy Jackson, but only if she's read some of the books first. (The books are a million times better than the films)

Seems great minds think alike - also watched miss peregrine which she liked, Percy J we enjoyed but she was less keen.
Don’t get me started on the goonies- been trying for a while & finally got her to watch the whole film...she was unimpressed - I swear sh must be a changeling!!!

City of Ember

City of ember also looks good

Labyrinth.

Have you watched the Netflix TV series of a series of unfortunate events. It's fantastic.

Has she seen Inkheart? I think it’s brilliant. I know they are not remotely Potteresque but Spirited Away or Howl’s Moving Castle might appeal.

Inkheart is good. As is Stardust

We got Spiderwick and Stardust in a cheap set from Amazon here. Not sure who paired them with Hotel for Dogs but never mind!

I'm a big Harry Potter fan and I loved Once Upon A Time on Netflix. I would recommend that. Plus there is about 7 seasons so if you enjoy it you have plenty there to keep you busy for while.

Legend - the Tom Cruise movie

Legend hasn't stood the test of time really though.

Worth a look just to marvel at the amount of surgery TC has had..

Bridge over terabithia

Stretching the theme, but Krull?

Willow

Oh and The Neverending Story and The Last Unicorn

Maleficent?

Princess Bride?
