If what charmed you was watching Anthea, Cyril, Robert, Jane, and the Lamb squabble and scheme while the Phoenix’s lofty advice made everything funnier, you’ll feel right at home with the four siblings in Half Magic. Here, a coin grants only half of what you wish—so a desire to be home lands you halfway, or a wish for a cat gets you half a cat (hilariously remedied). The family dynamics, clever negotiations, and escalating, wish-gone-wrong episodes echo the carpet flights and Phoenix-led scrapes you enjoyed—only with the extra puzzle of fixing half-baked magic.

If you loved how a shabby carpet and a newly hatched Phoenix could turn a normal home into a launchpad for marvels, Mary Poppins brings that same breezy enchantment to tea time and errands. The Banks children slip from a stern nursery into impossible outings—like laughing themselves up to the ceiling with Uncle Albert, or stepping through a compass adventure—just as the Phoenix’s pomp and the carpet’s flights whisked the Bastable crew into delightful trouble. It’s that blend of brisk wit, prim propriety, and sudden wonder that makes every outing feel like a secret adventure before supper.

If you liked how each outing with the Phoenix and the carpet spun into its own caper, The Enchanted Castle serves up a string of self-contained marvels. Three children find a ring that turns people invisible, wakes statues, and even brings homemade figures—the eerie “Ugly-Wuglies”—to life. Like those Phoenix-led jaunts that begin with a simple idea and end in glorious chaos, every episode here starts small and blossoms into a full-on adventure, then resets—ready for the next bit of mischief.

If the Phoenix’s grand speeches and feathered fussiness stole your heart, you’ll adore Calcifer—the sarcastic fire demon bound to Howl’s walking castle. Like the Phoenix steering the children’s carpet flights, Calcifer’s bargains and quips propel Sophie into wild entanglements with doorways that open to far-flung places, curses that twist identities, and rescues that must be timed just so. The banter is sharp, the magic is playful, and the non-human companion is as indispensable—and entertaining—as that golden bird.

If you grinned at the Phoenix’s pompous commentary and the siblings’ funny squabbles as their carpet hopscotched from scrape to scrape, The Wee Free Men delivers that same sparkle. Tiffany Aching teams up with the raucous, blue-skinned Nac Mac Feegle—whose swagger and one-liners rival the Phoenix’s comedic timing—to chase a stolen child into Fairyland. The quips fly as fast as the action, keeping even the hairiest moments as breezy and buoyant as those home-in-time-for-tea adventures you enjoyed.
