* TheFairFolk: The fairies in the series appear to be based more off this than Japanese magical girls as in the cartoon.

** In the series, Alfea is located in the Kingdom of Solaria. In the cartoon, Alfea is located on the planet Magix, while Solaria is a different planet altogether, as is Eraklyon.

** Beatrix is this to the all three witches of The Trix. She has Icy's style and [[ColorCodedCharacters blue motif]], Darcy's appearance, personality, and ShipTease with Riven, and Stormy's powers.

** In the German dub, Giovanna Winterfeldt (Krystal) is Stella.

** In the cartoon, the Winx Club become close friends very quickly, while in the live-action series, it takes considerably longer for them to warm up to each other. Bloom and Stella were best friends, as were Musa and Aisha, but in the series Bloom is closest to Aisha and Musa is closest to Terra.

** So far, Tecna, Brandon, and Timmy are not included despite being main characters in the cartoon. Flora has been replaced with Terra and despite being name-dropped, she does not appear in the series. Bloom's rabbit [[TeamPet Kiko]] is also gone. Another important character who was cut is Daphne, Bloom's SpiritAdviser [[spoiler:and [[LongLostRelative long-lost sister]]]].
** The Alfea teachers not included are Griselda, Palladium, and Wizgiz. The teachers from Red Fountain, Saladin and Codatorta, are also gone. While Alfea and Red Fountain were merged into one school, Cloud Tower School for Witches is completely absent, along with Headmistress Griffin and two students named Mirta and Lucy. [[spoiler:Although, blood witches are confirmed to exist in this continuity]].

** In the cartoon, fairies can regularly transform, which gives them wings and the ability to fly. In the series, it's explicitly stated that fairies lost their wings many years ago. [[spoiler:Bloom gains a pair of fairy wings that look like they're one fire in the first season finale while fighting a horde of Burned Ones]].

** In a flashback on, Bloom accidentally starts a house fire after arguing with her parents, causing her tremendous guilt. She also feels guilty about hiding her powers from them. In the cartoon, Bloom discovered her powers while trying to protect Stella from an ogre, she never gets into a fight with parents, and her parents are fully aware of magic from the beginning.

** Aisha deduces that Bloom is a changeling because her magic is too strong for her not to be a pure-blooded fairy. Since her parents are human, that would they weren't her biological parents.

** In contrast to the cartoon, Stella has a troubled relationship with her mother, feels great pressure to keep up appearances, and [[spoiler:accidentally blinded her friend because she couldn't fully control her powers]].

* HotterAndSexier: Played with. The young girls in the cartoon wore skimpier clothes, but the series has multiple sex scenes.

** In the series, Sky's father was a famous warrior who died when Sky was a baby [[spoiler: or so everyone thinks]], thus Sky grew up in his father's shadow. There's also [[MissingMom no mention of his mother]], since he was raised by Silva. In the cartoon, both of Sky's parents are alive and involved in his upbringing.

** Magic is more commonplace and [[MundaneUtility casually used]] in the cartoon, while in the series it's primarily geared toward combat. The cartoon also has a variety of magical creatures like ogres, trolls, water nymphs, elves, and leprechauns. In the series it's explicitly stated that only fairies can use magic naturally, [[spoiler: although it's later revealed that blood witches are regular humans who obtain magic through sacrifice and other unnatural means]].
** The Specialists train dragons in the cartoons, but not in the series.

** In the cartoon, witches have innate magical abilities like fairies, but in the series [[spoiler: blood witches are regular humans who obtain magic by unnatural means, such as sacrifice and death]].
* AdaptationDeviation:

** The destruction of [[spoiler: Aster Dell]] in the series is clearly meant to parallel the destruction of [[spoiler: Domino]] in the cartoon, but there are several major differences between them. One difference is that in the series [[spoiler: blood witches are the victims and fairies were the culprits, while in the cartoon it was the other way around]].
** In the series Stella's mother is the Queen of Solaria in her own right. In the cartoon Stella's father King Radius was the King of Solaria and Luna gave up her title when they got divorced.
* AdaptationDistillation:
** The series opens with Bloom arriving at Alfea and we're shown how she discovered her powers in a flashback. The cartoon began with Bloom living a normal life and goes over how her discovered her powers and chose to attend Alfea. Stella helping Bloom impersonate someone else to get into Alfea is also cut.

* AdaptationOriginConnection: [[spoiler: Bloom and Beatrix (a composite of the Trix) both survived the destruction of Aster Dell as infants, while only Bloom was present for the destruction of Domino in the cartoon]].
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul:
** In the cartoon, the Winx Club become close friends very quickly, while in the live-action series, it takes considerably longer for them to warm up to each other. Bloom and Stella were best friends, as were Musa and Aisha, but in the series Bloom is closest to Aisha and Musa is closest to Terra.
** With Stella being a CompositeCharacter of her cartoon counterpart and Diaspro, the Bloom/Sky/Diaspro LoveTriangle is transferred to Bloom/Sky/Stella. Stella and Sky never dated in the cartoon and Stella was in love with Sky's friend Brandon, who has been AdaptedOut.
** Bloom fully trusts her teachers in the cartoon, but is more suspicious and critical of them in the series.
** Sky and Riven are friendlier to each other in the series than in the cartoon, where they were rivals.
** Stella's relationship with her mother is more loving and affectionate in the cartoon.

** Bloom's relationship with her parents, while still loving, is rockier than it was in the cartoon. [[spoiler: Mike and Vanessa's decision to adopt Bloom is replaced with Rosalind swapping Bloom with their deceased biological daughter without their knowledge]].
* AdaptedOut:
** So far, Tecna, Brandon, and Timmy are not included despite being main characters in the cartoon. Flora has been replaced with Terra and despite being name-dropped, she does not appear in the series. Bloom's rabbit [[TeamPet Kiko]] is also gone.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: While Terra is a normally very kind and caring person, she does have a limit to her patience and has no problem telling bullies to fuck off,[[spoiler: going so far as to actually wrap vines around one's throat and strangle him a bit (She didn't kill him, but still extremely intimidating and aggressive for a normally bubbly and bright Flower Girl.)]]

* CanonForeigner: Terra, Dane, Sam, Callum, Andreas, Ben Harvey, Saul Silva, and [[spoiler: Rosalind]] do not exist in the original cartoon. The Burned Ones are also completely unique to the series.

* {{Cliffhanger}}: [[spoiler: The first season ends with the girls returning to Alfea, only to find that [[TyrantTakesTheHelm Rosalind, Andreas, and Luna have taken over the school]]. ]]

* CompressedAdaptation: The first season of the cartoon consists of 26 half-hour episodes, while the series consists of only 6 one-hour episodes. Only major plot points like [[spoiler: Bloom uncovering her past]] were kept, while less plot-relevant adventures were liberally cut loose.

* DeathOfAChild: [[spoiler:Bloom is a changeling, intended to replace Mike and Vanessa's daughter, who died of a heart defect.]]

* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: [[spoiler: In the series, Musa reveals that her mother died the year before. In the cartoon, Musa's mother died when she was a little girl]].

** The destruction of [[spoiler: Aster Dell]] is the show's equivalent of the destruction of [[spoiler: Domino]]. However, [[spoiler: the former was a small town and the latter was ''an entire planet'']].
** In the season 1 finale, [[spoiler: the Burned Ones break into Alfea, but only focus on Bloom and leave everyone else alone]]. In the cartoon, [[spoiler: the Trix took over Cloud Tower, destroyed Red Fountain, and besieged Alfea, with the teachers and students having to fight to defend themselves]].

* NecessaryEvil: [[spoiler: Rosalind argues to Bloom that wiping out the people of Aster Dell was necessary because they were blood witches and Bloom accepts her explanation at face value despite previously calling the destruction of Aster Dell a war crime. Later when Dowling and Silva learn this, they quickly agree that Rosalind was right to want them all dead]].

* ObligatoryWarCrimeScene: [[spoiler: Beatrix takes Bloom to the ruins of Aster Dell and reveals that the teachers of Alfea destroyed the town, killing nearly everyone save the two of them. When Bloom confronts Dowling about it, Dowling explained that Rosalind had lied about the town being evacuated and the rest of them didn't know there were innocent people still in the town. Rosalind then claims that the people of Aster Dell were actually blood witches, therefore she was justified in wiping them out. Despite having no evidence of this, Bloom, Dowling, and Silva all believe her and agree that the attack was justified]].
