Hey! It Harry Potter! XD Oh wait... it's not! Why is that my summary and opening line? Well, I am a great fan of Harry Potter and look for movies of similar content and quality and then, well... I found this and now I just want to gouge out my eyes.If you are a fan of Harry Potter, with the great cast of actors that actually have acting ability, please take my advice and AVOID this movie like the plague! There's no emotion in this film at all. The kid bully, and his angry face was about the only emotion I saw in this film. I take that back, this hero kid is supposed to be worried according to the narrator, but I think he's confused on looking worried, because he just looks and acts depressed, and either way, I supposed that could be counted as emotion.The guardian is a troll, alright, I get that, since you can't have a half giant due to copyright and all of that but SURELY you can hire someone to do make up rather than purchasing some cheap dollar store mask, yes? We have the bully and he head bad guy chasing after the kid and his friends in the forest, but - oh, wait, they're just there, their not CHASING them, we'll just stand here and yell, okay? The set design in the 'spooky' cave is simply dreadful and the kids show know fear, or emotion at ALL in times of danger, and I've seen FAN videos that have done a better job than this. This is most definitely not worth the hour and a half long show. I strongly suggest giving it a pass. Now I'm going to go crawl in my bed and hopefully some REAL Harry Potter will help soothe my aching head.

It's hard to make a fun, enjoyable "bad" movie. I've seen a wide selection of b-movies, cheesy plots/writing, stiff acting, cheap effects. Some are good fun to watch. Others are painful to force yourself through without MST3K. This is one of the fun ones, filled with laughable content and easy to watch without outside riffing, one reason I gave this 3 stars.The plot moves along nicely enough, filled with bad lines (i.e. "The strongest bond between friends is friendship"), stagnant acting from most, and topped off with Roddy Piper's accent - a mash-up of Tom Waits and Christian Bale's "Batman" voice. Any fan of b-movies should add this to their must-see as a blatant Harry Potter knock-off with parts Narnia, parts Goonies, and parts SyFy Thor with extra cheese.

If you're the kind of person that loves to watch terrible movies, this is a great one to get. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I swear it was made with iMovie..You can hear the audio popping in and out, terrible sparkle effects used frequently in the movie, really horrible acting, poor sound quality in general, stupid characters, incoherent plot, and the camera angles are trash. Half the time it's a 2 minute camera view with no transitions. At times you can't see the face of who's talking. Awkward dialog... it's all so great. I'm so happy people decided to put time and effort into this trash...It's unbelievably horrid and I enjoyed every second of it. It rivals Troll 2 in my book.

Amateurish in every respect. Not watchable. This movie was a big disappointment for my wife daughter. We sat down for an evening together and ending up annoyed and feeling cheated. The movie would be useful for anyone interested in how not to make a movie. A well made movie is seamless and the viewer is not distracted while watching to wonder about he skills of those who made the movie. Conceivably a viewer might be forgiven if they thought that anyone can make a movie. This movie is a sure cure of such delusions. Just watch this and get reminded of how much effort it takes to develop a coherent plot, to have words for the characters that don't make them sound repetitious and insane and to set up shots where viewers can actually see what is going on.
