Magic School Bonus Sunday (Magoc scholl bnus sund) Last Sunday, the students of Magic School had a fantastic bonus day filled with excitement and thrills. The day started off with a special welcome ceremony by the headmaster, who emphasized the importance of magic in everyday life. Throughout the day, various workshops and activities were held to enhance the students' magic skills. One of the most popular workshops was the Potion Brewing Workshop, where students learned how to brew different magical potions. The aromas of the ingredients filled the air, creating a magical ambiance. In another workshop, the students were taught advanced wand techniques by the legendary wizard, Master Merlin.
Chaves continues, “Peter still gave his permission to let [Annabelle] be in there. The funny thing is that it was supposed to be a secret, it was supposed to be this Easter Egg, and [when the film premiered at] SXSW, there was a slip-up. The presenter introduced the movie as the next entry in the Conjuring universe. So that was a big kind of faux pas.
This despite the fact that Tony Amendola reprises his role as Father Perez from the first Annabelle movie, while The Curse of La Llorona also features a cameo from Annabelle herself. Safran is referring to the fact that Michael Chaves went on to direct mainline sequel The Conjuring The Devil Made Me Do It , and Chaves is also the director of this year s The Nun II.
In another workshop, the students were taught advanced wand techniques by the legendary wizard, Master Merlin. Under his guidance, they learned new spells and perfected their wand movements, creating mesmerizing displays of power and control. The day also included a magical creature exhibition, where students got a chance to interact with mythical creatures like unicorns, phoenixes, and dragons.
Confirmed: ‘The Curse of La Llorona’ Is DEFINITELY Not Part of the Official ‘Conjuring Universe’
Depending on who you ask, this year’s The Nun II is either the eighth or ninth film in Warner Bros. and New Line’s The Conjuring Universe, and that’s because 2019’s The Curse of La Llorona was never actually marketed as being part of the universe, despite having a clear connection to it. So what’s the story there? Is it a Conjuring movie or is it not?
Speaking with Entertainment Weekly in celebration of The Conjuring‘s 10th anniversary, La Llorona director Michael Chaves confirms that it’s NOT an official Conjuring movie. This despite the fact that Tony Amendola reprises his role as Father Perez from the first Annabelle movie, while The Curse of La Llorona also features a cameo from Annabelle herself.
“There’s so much debate about it and I think I’ve played coy in the past,” Chaves tells EW. “The idea was that [the Annabelle cameo] was going to be this little hidden thing that you were going to discover as you watch the movie. One of the reasons that it couldn’t formally be a part of the Conjuring Universe is it didn’t include one of the key producers, Peter Safran. The Conjuring is his baby, him and James, and they are still the two core producers on it.”
Chaves continues, “Peter still gave his permission to let [Annabelle] be in there. The funny thing is that it was supposed to be a secret, it was supposed to be this Easter Egg, and [when the film premiered at] SXSW, there was a slip-up. The presenter introduced the movie as the next entry in the Conjuring universe. So that was a big kind of faux pas.
“It was a big mess-up, and that’s the truth of how that all came together.”
The Conjuring Universe producer Peter Safran also tells Entertainment Weekly that The Curse of La Llorona is most definitely “not part of The Conjuring universe.”
“You can’t count it!” Safran tells EW. “It periodically gets lumped in because of Chaves and because of Atomic Monster, but it is not officially part of the universe. By the way, I think Chaves did a great job on the movie, which is why we stole him for the Conjuring universe.”
Safran is referring to the fact that Michael Chaves went on to direct mainline sequel The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, and Chaves is also the director of this year’s The Nun II.
One thing we have to mention about The Curse of La Llorona is that it didn’t quite scare up as much money as Conjuring Universe movies typically do, considered by those who count it among the universe to be the franchise’s lowest grossing movie to date. The film made $123 million worldwide, while the rest of the installments are in the $200 – $300 million range.
Perhaps The Curse of La Llorona would be officially considered part of the universe had it reached those same heights at the box office? We can’t help but wonder. But we’ll accept the official confirmation that it’s NOT part of the universe, and we’ll carry on with our lives.
Does this sit well with you? Feel free to comment below with your two cents…
“It was a big mess-up, and that’s the truth of how that all came together.”
Everyone was in awe of the majestic creatures, and some even had the opportunity to ride on the back of a friendly dragon. The highlight of the day was a magical duel competition, where students showcased their skills in a friendly battle. The audience watched in awe as spells were cast, and potions were used strategically. The level of skill displayed by the students was truly exceptional. To conclude the day, a grand feast was organized. The banquet hall was beautifully decorated with floating candles and enchanted flowers. Delicious food and drinks were served, and the students and teachers enjoyed a night of laughter and camaraderie. The bonus day at Magic School was truly a memorable experience for everyone involved. It not only provided an opportunity for the students to enhance their magical abilities but also fostered a sense of community and friendship among them. The day served as a reminder of the wonders and joys of the magical world and left everyone excited for future adventures..
Reviews for "Take your magic skills to the next level on School Bonus Sunday"
1. Emily - 2 stars - I was disappointed with "Magic School Bonus Sunday". The plot was haphazard and confusing, with too many subplots that were never fully explored or resolved. The characters felt underdeveloped and lacked depth, making it difficult for me to connect with them on any level. Additionally, the writing style was choppy and inconsistent, making it hard for me to follow along. Overall, it felt like a poorly executed attempt at a fantasy novel, and I would not recommend it.
2. Michael - 1 star - "Magic School Bonus Sunday" was a complete letdown for me. The story lacked originality and was filled with clichés from start to finish. The author seemed to rely heavily on tired tropes and stereotypes, making the whole experience feel uninspiring. The dialogue was stilted, and the pacing was off, making it a struggle to get through. I had high hopes for this book, but it fell flat in almost every aspect. I would advise readers to look elsewhere for a more engaging and imaginative fantasy read.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - I found "Magic School Bonus Sunday" to be a disappointing read overall. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked any real growth throughout the story. The world-building felt shallow, with little explanation or depth given to the magical elements. The pacing was slow, and the plot seemed to meander without any clear direction. This book simply didn't capture my attention or make me care about what was happening. I was left feeling unsatisfied and would not recommend it to others.
