Bedknobs and Broomsticks: Difference between revisions

added tropes
(added tropes)
Line 29:
* [[Children Raise You]]
* [[Clap Your Hands If You Believe]]: Mr. Browne can't use spells himself because, as far as he's concerned, "They're just nonsense words from an old book." {{spoiler|At least until near the end of the film when he manages to transform himself into a rabbit.}}
* [[Con Man]]: "Professor" Emelius Browne.
* [[Conveniently Interrupted Document]]: Miss Price sees Mr. Brown about a spell book. She gets it and reads about the Substitutiary Locomotion spell, but the part where it talks about the incantation used to activate the spell is on a page that got torn out of the book. The group had to go to Portobello Road to look for it.
* [[Correspondence Course]]: The entire plot is based on Eglantine taking one (in ''witchcraft!'') and needing to finish the final lesson.
Line 98 ⟶ 99:
** Charlie at the beginning of the movie. Despite his siblings telling him that maybe trying to blackmail a witch is a bad idea, he persists until Miss Price turns him into a <s>toad</s> rabbit. Then, when he transforms back after almost getting attacked by her cat, he ''tries extortion again''.
* [[Unnecessary Roughness]]: In the animals' soccer/football match.
* [[Words Do Not Make the Magic]]: Professor Emelius Browne, despite having sold a correspondence course in magic based on the (half of a) medieval grimoire he owned, could not use the spells in it, but Miss Price could because she actually believed in magic. It took a great deal of concentration before he could finally get a spell to work after being shown numerous times that magic existed.
