GFF26: SCHOOL OF MAGICAL ANIMALS 4

Australian premiere

Die Schule der magischen Tiere 4 

The magical phenomenon returns with this highly anticipated fourth instalment of the box office hit franchise, based on Margit Auer’s bestselling book series, featuring stunning visual effects and valuable life lessons.

For three months, Ida’s best friend, Miriam, will be attending the Winterstein School alongside Ida. Unaware of the magical community, Miriam’s world is upended on her first day at school when she receives her magical animal, an energetic tarsier, Fitzgeraldo, while her classmate Max receives the perceptive owl, Muriel.

But their joy doesn't last, because Ida discovers that Winterstein School is about to be sold, due to a lack of new enrolments. However, an upcoming school challenge just might be the key to attracting attention and new students.

With her former school also competing, Miriam faces pressure from both sides, and with their entire magical community at stake, will the Winterstein students be able to lead their team to victory?
