18 Facts About Teen Witch—Top That!
If you’ve had the pleasure of catching a screening of Teen Witch over the past 30 years—on television, at a live sing-along, or on an old-school VHS—you know that Louise Miller is a teenager with magical powers who is gonna be the most popular girl at her high school. But here are 18 things you might not know about the 1989 cult classic.
Creating magic is also about embracing our imagination. It's about tapping into our creativity and using it to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. Whether it's through art, music, storytelling, or any other form of self-expression, our imagination has the power to make the world a more magical place.
1. Teen Witch was pitched as a female version of Teen Wolf.
While the final version of the film bears some obvious similarities to Teen Wolf—a teen balancing high school life with his or her supernatural abilities—it originally intended to borrow the title font, tagline, and general plot from the 1985 Michael J. Fox hit. Eventually, Teen Witch morphed into an original work.
Making it magic also involves a sense of mindfulness and presence. It's about fully immersing ourselves in the present moment, savoring the here and now. It's about taking the time to appreciate the beauty that surrounds us, whether it's the sound of birdsong, the warmth of the sun on our face, or the smell of fresh flowers. Another way to make it magic is through acts of kindness and generosity. When we extend a helping hand, show compassion towards others, or perform random acts of kindness, we not only make someone else's day brighter, but we also create a ripple effect of positivity and magic that spreads far beyond our initial action. Lastly, making it magic involves embracing a sense of wonder and curiosity. It's about being open to new experiences, stepping outside of our comfort zones, and seeking out adventure. When we approach life with a childlike sense of wonder, we are more likely to find magic in even the most mundane of situations. So, let's make it magic. Let's infuse our lives with a sense of wonder, creativity, mindfulness, kindness, and curiosity. Let's find the extraordinary in the ordinary and bring a little bit of enchantment into each and every day. Because when we make it magic, we make life a little bit more beautiful and meaningful..

The characters were one-dimensional and unrelatable, making it difficult to invest in their journey. The writing style was also incredibly bland, with no real flair or creativity.

I had high hopes for "Make it Magic" after reading the synopsis, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The pacing was all over the place, with some parts dragging on for too long and others feeling rushed. The magic system was poorly explained and left me confused and disconnected from the story. Additionally, the dialogue felt forced and unnatural, making it difficult to fully immerse myself in the world the author was trying to create.

The main character lacked depth and development, making it hard to empathize with her struggles. The romance aspect also felt forced and rushed, lacking any real chemistry between the characters. Overall, I was left feeling underwhelmed and unsatisfied with this book.
