Die Schule der Magischen Tiere 4 Opens in German Cinemas With Higher-Stakes School Challenge

The family franchise leans into teen themes through the arrival of a guest pupil.

Overview

  • The fourth film in the series opens in Germany on 25 September 2025 with a 95‑minute runtime distributed by LEONINE.
  • Wintersteinschule faces closure due to low enrollment, turning an interschool competition into the class’s last chance to safeguard their community.
  • Guest pupil Miriam joins Ida at Wintersteinschule and receives the spirited koboldmaki Fitzgeraldo, while Max is paired with the owl Muriel.
  • Reviews highlight a slightly older tone with bullying, shyness and first love in focus, plus parkour-styled set pieces and a visibly more mature young cast.
  • Based on Margit Auer’s books, this installment adapts volumes three and four, and coverage points to strong prospects after the first three films topped the German Film Prize attendance metric.
