Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Paul Feig (Bridesmaids, Spy) directing YA fantasy is WILD energy—he reportedly fought to keep the 147-minute runtime against Netflix's wishes.
The film deliberately subverts Harry Potter's sorting obsession by asking: what if the 'evil' kids are just... kids? The book fandom was divided on the adaptation's softer edges.

The costumes, special effects and sets in this. Netflix has truly outdone themselves.

That's exactly what happens when the good ones are dropped in the evil schools. They become better evils

i love how instead of everybody wearing a similar uniform like the book, they are allowed to wear their own cultural fashion. kiko looks so stunning with that japanese style gown 😭
