Hafele Magic Corner II is a storage solution that maximizes the use of space in kitchen cabinets. It is designed to provide easy access and organizational options for corner cabinets. The Magic Corner II consists of a series of shelves and baskets that can be pulled out and rotated to reveal hidden items in the cabinet. The system is installed inside the cabinet and is designed to make use of all available space, including the corner area. It can hold pots, pans, and other kitchen items, allowing for efficient storage and access to these items. The shelves and baskets are mounted on a sturdy frame, which ensures stability and durability.
However, today we’re going to focus on the first adaptation of the books: A made-for-TV movie in 1986 that stars a very young Fairuza Balk (Return to Oz), Charlotte Rae (Facts of Life), and Tim Curry (Clue). Balk is Mildred Hubble, an oh-so-slightly clumsy first-year witch who is the only kid in this all-girls school who isn’t instantly perfect. Thus, she’s the “worst” witch who does things like stumble into other kids and not get her potion mixture right. This marks her for extreme persecution by fellow students and Miss Hardbroom, who I’m convinced was Severus Snape’s mother.
Rowling didn t conjure up Harry Potter out of thin air, as the idea of magicians being trained at boarding schools actually dates back to 1974 s The Worst Witch. To finish, The Worst Witch isn t perfect, but it s very entertaining, and I definitely recommend it, especially for Halloween, if you can fit it in to your undoubtedly busy schedule.
The shelves and baskets are mounted on a sturdy frame, which ensures stability and durability. The Magic Corner II is designed for both left and right-hand corner cabinets, making it suitable for a wide range of kitchen layouts. It is also adjustable, allowing for customization based on individual needs and preferences.
Not This Time, Nayland Smith
A particular Halloween favourite for many people over the years, The Worst Witch is a 1986 TV movie from Britain, about the misadventures of a magical schoolgirl.
At the witch school Cackle's Academy, Mildred Hubble is constantly failing. She's naturally clumsy, and has a bad memory, often leading to her getting into trouble, and causing her to be known as the 'worst witch' of the school. The worst might be the best, however, when a coven of evil witches attempt to invade Cackle's.
While The Worst Witch is a bit of a mixed bag, I can easily see how this is a treasured Halloween special. It's very enjoyable, well-written, and quite funny. Unfortunately it's very short at just over 70 minutes.
Onto the acting. It's very bizarre watching a Worst Witch movie with this cast (for reasons I'll get to later), but that wasn't too distracting once I got used to it. Fairuza Balk is adorable as Mildred Hubble, even if she doesn't even attempt to hide her accent (thankfully this isn't an environment where an American character would be totally unbelievable), while Diana Rigg is perfectly mean as the strict teacher Miss Hardbroom. Charlotte Rae on the other hand is terrible! She's ok as headmistress Miss Cackle, but as the evil Agatha Cackle she does dreadfully! Tim Curry isn't in the film long, but he shines as the Grand Wizard, especially in his musical number! The rest of the acting is all decent, minus the evil witches.
More on them-The evil witches in this film are such a drag! They're really annoying, and in one scene, they even get a musical number! Right when I was hoping for a scene change to hurry along!
The set design, as well as the general look of this film is very stylish, from the nifty uniforms, to the star-shaped blackboard, or the ooky skull ornaments. The effects (such as green screens for broomstick flying) in The Worst Witch are pretty bad, but in that endearing cheap TV kind of way.
The soundtrack is a mixed bag. The instrumental work is all great, especially the melody when the schoolgirls are getting their cats, but the songs themselves leave a bit to be desired. I like the opening tune (after all, it is sung by the awesome Bonnie Langford), but the aforementioned evil witch one, despite not being too bad in it of itself, caps off an annoying scene. The Halloween song sung by Tim Curry is. interesting! Thinking critically, the lyrics get worse and worse as the songwriter seems to be running out of words to use, but thinking naturally, however, it's a ridiculously entertaining musical number!
To finish, The Worst Witch isn't perfect, but it's very entertaining, and I definitely recommend it, especially for Halloween, if you can fit it in to your undoubtedly busy schedule! Meanwhile, come tomorrow morn, I'll start posting my reviews for the Worst Witch TV series.
. Yes there was a Worst Witch TV series. It ran for 40 episodes. I'm surprised that so many American fans of the movie don't know that.

Reviews for "Embrace the Future of Kitchen Organization with Hafele Magic Corner II"
1. Jane - 1/5 - I was extremely disappointed with the Hafele Magic Corner II. First of all, the installation process was a nightmare. The instructions were unclear and the pieces didn't fit together properly. It took me hours to finally get it to somewhat work. Secondly, the functionality of the corner unit was subpar. The shelves were too small and not adjustable, so I couldn't fit my pots and pans in there. Overall, I found the Hafele Magic Corner II to be a waste of money and I would not recommend it to anyone.
2. Mark - 2/5 - While the concept of the Hafele Magic Corner II is great, the execution falls short. The unit is made of cheap material and feels flimsy. It doesn't hold up well to constant use and the hinges started to break after just a few months. Additionally, the corner unit doesn't provide as much storage space as I had hoped. I ended up having to stack my items on top of each other, which made it difficult to access things at the back. Overall, I was disappointed with the quality and functionality of the Hafele Magic Corner II.
3. Sarah - 2/5 - I had high hopes for the Hafele Magic Corner II, but it just didn't meet my expectations. First of all, the installation process was a nightmare. The instructions were confusing and it took me a long time to figure out how to put it together. Once it was installed, I found that the shelves were too small and didn't hold much. I could only fit a few items in there before it became overcrowded. The unit also didn't glide smoothly, making it difficult to access the items at the back. Overall, I was disappointed with the Hafele Magic Corner II and would not purchase it again.
4. Michael - 3/5 - The Hafele Magic Corner II has its pros and cons. On the positive side, it does provide some additional storage space in the corner of my kitchen cabinets. It was fairly easy to install and the shelves are adjustable, which is a plus. However, I found that the unit wasn't very sturdy and would sometimes wobble when I opened and closed it. The shelves also didn't glide smoothly, which made it a bit frustrating to access items at the back. While it's not a terrible product, I don't think it's worth the price tag.
