* AdaptationExpansion: Season 1 expands on the franchise's human world more than the books and movie, such as showing how the magical world affects the town and how some of the townspeople respond to it, showing Mallory train as a fencer, describing Lucinda and Arthur's troubled relationship with Helen's mother more, expanding on Disappeared Dad Richard's background, whereabouts, and feelings toward his family, and having Simon's angry adjustment issues morph into more serious issues that have caused him to spend much of his life in therapy. That said, the magical world gets some AdaptationDistillation, at least for the time being (Thimbletack's scenes tend to be shorter, Mulgarath doesn't have as many minions, Hogsqeual is absent, etc.).
