* WhereTheMagicWent: Halloweentown is a town in a dimension separate from the mortal world where magical creatures live, which includes witches, ogres, goblins, ghosts, vampires, werewolves, and other various creatures. It was created by witches and warlocks after they left the mortal realm to keep themselves safe from the mortals who were frightened of them, and to keep themselves from turning hateful in turn, during the Dark Ages. The portal between the realms only opens on Halloween [[spoiler:until the Cromwells open the portal permanently at the end of ''Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge'', [[TheMagicComesBack after which point magic is slowly introduced to the mortal world]]]].

'''Kal:''' Nobody cares about the code of Merlin anymore, Marnie. You need an update. And besides, what do you wanna hang around a bunch of moldy old creatures for, anyway?
'''Marnie:''' These creatures are my friends.
'''Kal:''' Your mom's about to become a really moldy old creature.
'''Marnie:''' Leave my mother alone!

** In the first film, Marnie, Gwen, and the others following Aggie to the movie theater to protect her ends up distracting her enough to get caught in Kalabar's freezing spell. Otherwise, based on Aggie's comment that Cromwells tend to be quick, she may have escaped fine.
** In the second film, Marnie bringing Kal to her grandma's room kicks off the whole plot, allowing him to steal her spell book and curse both Halloweentown and the mortal world. Justified, since Kal manipulated her into doing this.
** In the third film, Marnie accidentally bets the family magic that humans have changed, not counting on the Halloweentown Council taking her figure of speech literally. [[spoiler: Dalloway takes advantage of this while tending to support her effort.]]

* ObliviouslySuperpowered: Exploited. While Sophie can do things like sense when someone is coming to the house or unconsciously levitate a cookie towards her, her mother purposely makes sure Sophie doesn't realize it's magic, either by hiding the evidence or insisting it's nothing, since she is trying to hide her daughters' magical heritage from them until they lose their powers permanently at 13. Also discussed -- Marnie later learns from her mother that she used to use accidental magic without realizing it as well.

** Gwen's insistence that her children are normal, and if they aren't, she'll make them be normal, even when they are telling her that they don't want to be and she's making them unhappy, is very reminiscent of parents attempting to, "straighten," children who are queer, or, "correcting," a disability.
