Yeah, no, that main kid would be a bad actor regardless of age. I don’t blame you for not wanting to make too much fun at him, but in this case, it’s completely justified.
I think the magical parents realized that their son wasn’t ever going to live up to his potential (if your kid doesn’t know what a map is, the chances of him grasping complex incantations and dangerous powers are slim), so they talked to their magical friends and came up with this whole setup just to make Billy feel special.
The sequel has a ferret. That makes it seem better.
Why should you feel bad for mocking bad child actors? Being a child is no excuse for not putting effort into it, esecially when many of them do (like, you know, the ones from the actual Harry Potter movies).
Child or adult, if they’re bad, they’re bad, and should therefore get lost IN THE RIVA!!
And speaking of that, what the hell, Roddy Piper?! You’re better than this! Was a friend or family member associated to this project or something?
Im surprised you didnt make any jokes of how Rowdy Piper looked like Torgo. Your a wizard Torgo.
I get the premise of Billy Owens, but it was a bad idea to take Viking Norse magic and use it in a Harry Potter knock off. Its sad then The Worst Witch does a much better job and that was Harry Potter knock off before Harry Potter.
Overall though, Billy Owens was LOST IN THE RIVER.
SO I am wondering if the parents of the kid who was playing Billy Owens were pushing him towards acting, or if they were enabling their own child. Either way, watching the kid act was more uncomfortable than anything. Like, if you can see that your kid doesn’t have talent maybe you shouldn’t preserve that fact onto celluloid for all time.

obviously the best movie ever.
Mandy is the demon spawn of Hermione & Colin Creevey! Take a drink every time she says “did you know” or “for your information.”
My prediction for next year’s Harry Potterish movie: The Ultimate Book of Spells, which untries even unharder to be an unripoff. I watched it anyway….
Wait a minute, is this a Harry Potter ripoff or a spoof of The Never Ending Story 3?
26:40 What’s the Koreander creeper doing with his left hand?
What’s a map? What’s a paladin?
Sorry Lupa, it just doesn’t have the same cheesy effect without the cheesy CG effects & scruffy beard.
The longer I listen, the worse the acting sounds.
As soon as the adults are “in on it,” the movie totally retards itself.
That Viking ghost was the weakest Balrog ever.
The early 90s called; they want their crappy CG dragon back.
Isn’t that the narrator from Voltron: Defenders of the Universe?

The special effects are just… amazing.

a OSCAR SANDWICH

btw ‘Gobshite’is an Irish term rather than British, jsyk.
