Unauthorized Magic

The Magicians
S01E01

The American Hogwarts is a graduate school. It should have been a regular 4 year college because they behaved like high school kids with their cliques & Mean Girl behavior.

I really liked that there was an evil school & that the muggle girl was able to figure out how to cast spells. Not sure why cutting herself helped her remember.

I did not like the Lucy Pevensie character, she was being really annoying. She should have just explained to American Harry Potter what is going on.

At least he can do magic on his own without Draco-Hermione so that's good but he did it at the worst possible moment.

I'm curious how their diploma will work, is it magical? If you fax it to an employer, will it magically make them accept it as being accredited?

The last 5 minutes were really good: The suspense as everyone was suddenly immobilized & the American Voldemort was already pretty creepy with his butterfly-swarm-head but then he killed the Defense Against The Dark Arts professor & he even killed the Dumble-Dean. It was pretty shocking.
