As I was watching this movie I got more and more aware there were so many similarities to Harry Potter and the Sorcerers/Philosphers Stone.
I understand there are a number of films that have similar ideas of magic to Harry Potter but this seems to repeatedly hint at HP throughout.
A stone that can bring about the return to dark times if the evil guy gets hold of it.
A caretaker that is similar to Mr Filch (but not as mean)
Three children getting together - the main character, one a ginger haired werewolf and the other a girl - very similar to Harry, Ron and Hermoine.
Going through a dangerous forest to access the school/town (Forbidden Forest)
A dog guarding the Forbidden Library (like Fluffy guards the room to the Sorcerers Stone - and a forbidden library like "The Restricted Section").
If you like the Harry Potter films I'm quite sure you'll enjoy this and see so many similarities!
The language in the show has been dubbed to English and watching the lips you can see the mouths not always following the words, also there are a number of times in the show where there are signs on buildings and rooms in what appears to be Dutch (Verboten Bibliotheek for example - Forbidden Library) but overall it's a good film.
