s01e13 — The First Day

It gets better and better with each episode

Naturally, the creators couldn't do without references to Harry Potter, right? 🤣
The secret room, the distribution hat, one magic per student, yeap, everything as we love!
PS: and of course only Ida wanted to study all kinds of magic, right? Although it's strange, it seemed to me that her sister Lilith also studied all kinds of magic...

Show me the flashback about the young Ida already.

This is too wonderful a series, definitely one of my favorites 👁️👄👁️
I am very glad that Luz will study a little bit of everything. I'm already wondering what will happen next 😄

Autumn is a cool episode, the references and the costume are all so native

"You go to the same school now, but it doesn't change anything." One short scene, and Luz and Amity's online shipping jumped by 500%.

Ida is such a cool redhead)))

Mr. King would really make a good teacher. It's a pity that he was leaked from this role.

It's time for the director to retire ahah

The moment when Luz got a new school uniform / just new clothes (?) just reminded Sailor Moon 😂😍
and of course a bunch of references to Harry Potter, so cute✨✨

Finally, the day came when Luz began to officially study at the school of magic and sorcery. About the many references to Harry Potter have already been written above. I also saw homages to the Dead Poets Society and the Breakfast Club.
To be honest, I don't quite understand how this system works with one type of magic. Just for admission, you need to be able to perform two spells. The same Willow and Gus when witchcraft always draw a circle of the same color and that's it. Does this count as owning multiple spells of the same type? And in the last episode, we were shown how Amity learned the fireball spell, and I highly doubt that this spell is the same type as the spawn summoning spell. It's just strange then, if everyone teaches only one type of magic at school, how can you even join the Emperor's coven, where all kinds of magic are used? Wouldn't it be more logical if students studied everything they wanted at school, and at graduation they had to link their lives with a certain coven? And so it turns out, it's unclear, because a student who studied potions will not be able to join the coven of illusionists, he will only be able to join the coven of potion makers. What is the choice then? It seems that the director said that students are allowed to change the direction of training, that is, you can have a semester here, a semester there, but if so, what's the point of not giving several directions in one semester to those who want to do it.
How then did Ida and her sister know all kinds of magic, and I got exactly that impression if it was impossible to study all kinds of magic at school? Again, I had previously assumed that Ida and Lilith wanted to join the Emperor's coven precisely so that they could continue to use all kinds of magic. Attentive viewers will correct me, because the director mentioned that Luz was not the first one who wanted to study everything, the red-haired Ida was the first. But he didn't really say how she was able to study them if this system doesn't allow it. And how did Lilith study them? In general, this school system clearly requires reforms.
I was hoping that Amity would be shown more in the series, it was funny to see how nervous she was about Luz studying at the same school.
And yes, how long will school take, Luz obviously won't be able to finish school in a couple of months or how much time she has left, because she's supposed to be in summer camp right now, and when summer is over, Luz will have to go home.

It suits the king very well to be in the role of a teacher

I may be wrong, but this is the first time I've seen a basilisk or other creature feeding on magic from other creatures suck the witch's energy through a spell. Is that how I usually saw it? The creature swallows spells - it tastes good, approaches another creature (including a witch or magician) and sucks out its MAGIC/STRENGTH - it is also delicious and good for him. And then the basilisk sucked out almost all the magic of her "performer" through a spell. Yes, the basilisk just crawled up to some of them and sucked them out, but I'm talking about the described option.

I'm so glad that this animated series is slowly developing the plot and characters in each episode, there aren't even any fillers here (a stone in Stephen's garden and Amphibians). Despite the rating, there are plenty of cool jokes here and watching the series is not boring.

This is a reference to Harry Potter😍😍💔💔

The best version of the distributing hat

I was pleased with the reference to the Distributing hat from the GP😁😁
