Before the Wizarding World of Harry Potter hit the big screen, Hayao Miyazaki gave us a remarkable movie about magic with Kiki's Delivery Service.
The Big Picture Harry Potter's Wizarding World has helped define the realms of magic and sorcery for an entire generation of filmgoers and wannabe warlocks. The adventures of young Daniel Radcliffe as “the boy who lived” and his classmates at Hogwarts aimed to balance the dramas of blossoming adolescence and academic trials of witchcraft with epic sagas of wizardry warfare.
Why Is Kiki Learning Magic in 'Kiki's Delivery Service'? Unlike Harry Potter, the world of witches that Kiki is brought up in is not a widely kept secret community of creatures and organizations that hides away from the likes of mere muggles. Kiki’s magical upbringing is that of a cultural family tradition that is passed down among a lineage of women who openly train in different specialties of magic to build lives of their own.
The biggest obstacle that Kiki faces on her journey to become an accomplished witch is not the likes of dark lords or Death Eaters or even rival wizards, but very real-world adult dilemmas that are new to anyone her age. Kiki’s year-long trial does not pit her against threats to have her face magic with magic, but to see if she and her magic can find a place in the world as a functioning self-made adult.
