Center
Primary
The series focuses on apolitical themes of friendship, mystery, and the responsible use of magic, with conflicts and solutions centered on magical mishaps rather than societal or political issues.
The movie features a visibly diverse cast, including a Latina lead, without explicitly recasting traditionally white roles. Its narrative maintains a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities, with no explicit critique or central DEI themes, focusing instead on its fantasy adventure plot.
Secondary
The series "Just Add Magic" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on a magical mystery involving three friends, with no explicit or implicit LGBTQ+ representation.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The series "Just Add Magic" is an adaptation of a novel. A review of the main characters from the source material and their on-screen portrayals reveals no instances where a character's established gender was changed for the show.
The show is the primary adaptation of its source novel, which does not explicitly establish the race of its main characters. Therefore, the casting choices for the series do not constitute a race swap from a previously established canonical or widely recognized racial identity.
