Agreed, I love this terrible movie. It's actually a great premise, but the execution is ridiculous. I feel like J.K. Rowling must've drew inspiration from it for Harry Potter. There are so many similarities: the mean Potions teacher, flying lessons, the bewitched broom, the Malfoy-esque snob, transfiguration, invisibility...And Tim Curry is unreal. "Has anybody seen my tambourine?!"

They used to show this every Halloween. It's incredible.
