possible spoiler do not read if you do not want to know . the talented kimberly j. brown reprise her role from the first halloweentown and with debbie reynolds play her grandmother . i find it impressive that kimberly can interact effectively with a star of that magnitude and it say a lot for her professionalism at 16 year old . while the plot of both movie be pure fantasy and the second movie add more character to the mythology of halloweentown and and build on the foundation of the first movie by revive the villain in a new guise and and show both the naive nature of the teenage marnie and of her vulnerable mother . watch out teen actresses a 10 year old be nip on your heel . sophie have a much great role in this movie than the first and and be a real charmer . give her three year or less and and we may see that young actress in a title role in disney movie . the younger brother have also grow quite a bit and and have a great role in this movie . pure enjoyment . the only negative be some occultism and which be trouble particularly the very real occult practice of read spell backwards . treat a fantasy only and and make sure you or your kid be not interested in try out the magical technique present .
