Added DiffLines:

* RhymingWizardry: Downplayed. While spells can be used without an incantation or with a simple command ("Drawer open"), the girls have fun using the rhyming spells Alex made up for her stories as a kid, now that they have the magic to actually make them work. Also Lampshaded:
-->'''Cam:''' ''(reading from notebook)'' "To make an object disappear, tap it twice and say 'Oh dear'"?
-->'''Alex:''' What? I was seven when I wrote that! Give me some credit that it even rhymed.

Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalAngstDowngrade:
** While in the books Cam didn't know she was adopted until she met Alex, which caused some angst for her, movie Cam already knows she's adopted and is perfectly fine with it.
** Downplayed with Alex. While Alex loses her mother during the book series, meaning she had to deal with both anticipatory and fresh grief, movie Alex lost her mother a year prior to the films. While still grieving and closed off, the pain isn't as fresh, and Alex is more emotionally mature in handling her emotions due to the AgeLift.

Added DiffLines:

* IntrafamilialClassConflict: Cam and Alex, reunited at 21, clash over their very different upbringings. Cam grew up wealthy with a stable family, while Alex was raised by a single mom who she lost a year before the film, currently crashing with her friend's family and trying to find work. Cam is InnocentlyInsensitive to Alex's struggles until seeing her home, while Alex initially sees Cam as shallow and her neighborhood as snooty. However, they eventually bond and bring their respective families, plus their birth family, together.
