Overview

  • LEONINE releases the 95‑minute family film in Germany on 25 September 2025.
  • The Wintersteinschule faces closure due to low enrollment, with an inter‑school competition serving as the class’s chance to protect their community.
  • Miriam joins the magical circle and receives Fitzgeraldo, while Max is paired with the owl Muriel, voiced by Annett Louisan.
  • Reviews highlight a visibly older cast and a shift toward adolescent themes such as bullying, shyness and first love, alongside parkour‑driven action.
  • Key locations include Schloss Wernigerode and Schloss Marienburg, and the franchise’s last three films were recognized as Germany’s most‑visited at the Deutscher Filmpreis.
