“I was conscious of that, the producers were, and our director, Julia Hart, was very conscious of it, too. That's not what this is for us — that was not the story we wanted to tell. We went into it with a clear intention that we were telling a story about a girl who is not a magical girl, who comes in and changes everybody's life, and that's it. She just sort of disappears, or kind of dissolves into her little fairy dust. This was a girl who is very much a part of the real world, and that's why it was important to us, to really clarify that her magic is real. It was important to me as the writer, to write a script that was not so aspirational that girls were like, ‘I can't do those things.’ It's really important that that character is only doing things that we can all do, that we're all capable of doing, because we're all capable of real magic and being kind to people.
