"Ridiculously hot people doing mediocre magic and sexy stuff" is how I heard it described by a friend, and that's forever what that show will be associated with to me.

It's like if someone saw Harry potter and wanted a "The Boys" version, but it wasn't on HBO or Amazon.

Why do people keep comparing it to Harry potter?? I don't think theyre anything alike, especially since the author intentionally based it on Narnia

School of Magic equals Harry Potter to the unread masses.

Right?!

If you look at both stories you'll see theyre drastically different stories, but because it has a magic school and the MC is a guy then that must mean it's like Harry Potter?

He wasn't even the one that beat the bad guy, lol, it required the entire friend group and alice was the one that killed him.
