Very Harry Potter-esque. Highly derivative, but maybe that's a function of the fantasy genre. I half-expected the closing line to be, "Every time a bell rings, a Satyr gets his horns!" That said, the premise is good, and so is the story. Maybe I'll even read the books. And any movie that gets kids motivated to learn about Greek mythology can't be all bad.
