This is a cute movie. Not made for the older teen audience, which is why I'm not tearing it to pieces. Anywho, they got something wrong in the movie. There is a scene in which Marnie's grandmother says that Shakespeare offered her a role in one of the original plays. Well, back then they didn't use women in theater. I suppose it's just something to add in for the cuteness effect.
True, true... but that isn't even the movie's biggest problem with facts... there's also the fact that Gwen, Marnie and Sophie's mother and Aggie's daughter, doesn't use magic for frivolous things in the first two movies, and in the third movie not only creates a dormitory-style hallway for the exchange students but also operates an *enchanted* tea set to bring Marnie hot chocolate. This isn't even an important fact, but it's kinda obvious when you look at the two previous movies as a basis of comparison. Kinda sad when the trilogy can't even keep its own canon straight, or at least offer you a spelled-out explanation (I mean, the target audience for the DCOM is ten or something).
Then, of course, there's the fact that Luke, who is Marnie's personal antagonist in the first movie and friend in the second movie, aka the goblin who has a crush on her, doesn't even get a mention in the third movie. Phillip Van Dyke can't show up due to contract negotiations or something? Fine! Just have the decency to write him out of the script... say he lost the paperwork or missed a deadline or something.
You see, there's lots of little facts that they overlooked, things within the canon of the movies that one would expect to be true or untrue in future movies in order to keep continuity between the installments.
On a slightly different note, does anyone else think that Aggie's new bag looks a lot like a Hogwarts transfiguration experiment gone wrong?
i will shed some light on the whole gwen thing, she was very reluctant to have anything to do with halloweentown(example using her magic telling marnie sophie and dylan, even helping aggie) in the first movie, she was less reluctant to have anything to do with it but still reluctant(letting aggie stay with them and have her "abnormal" room, and letting marnie go with aggie to halloweentown) And by halloweentown high Gwen accepted her magic and halloweentown(using her magic to build the rooms for the students, the magic tea set, and the spell cast on marnies love interest because she thought he was someone from halloween town spying on them, and lastly by letting the halloweentown students stay with them in the first place. so in short she accepted her magical heritage.
with dylan its the opposite he didnt like using magic at all.

They didn't get the Shakespeare fact wrong. Women were used back then but it was rare and any woman who was in the plays was labled as a whore, so maybe aggie was a little promiscuous(sp?)
