The plot: Red-haired scamp Mary (Ruby Barnhill) has moved in
with her great-aunt Charlotte (Lynda Baron) and, with a week left to go before
school starts, she has found herself struggling to find ways to occupy her
time. However, that all changes when a chance encounter in the nearby forest
leads her to the Ender College, a prestigious school for witches and warlocks,
with headmaster Madame Mumblechook (Kate Winslet) remarking that Mary could be
a truly incredible witch. To make things even more surreal, it seems that this
college isn’t all that it seems, and it’s up to Mary to get to the bottom of
the college’s less-than-virtuous ambitions.
