Magic by Mikala is a TikTok and YouTube commenter who makes videos on Harry Potter among other things.
Tropes:
- Abled in the Adaptation: In her video about Ron
, the "Movie" version of Ron walks away from Harry and Hermione, despite his counterpart being unable to walk due to a broken leg. The "Book" version states that his leg is broken shuffles his feet in a way not possible for an severely injured person to do. - Adaptational Jerkass:
- This video, when Harry accidentally joins the Triwizard Tournament, has Dumbldedore not only slam Harry into the wall and yell at him like the movie, but threatens to "send you straight to Azkaban" and "fight you in the Hogwarts parking lot" and insults him for his parents dying.
- Her version of Ron casually abandons Harry and Hermione in the face of Sirius Black, who they still believe is a killer, casually eating Cheetos while doing so.

- Adaptation Personality Change:
- Her Ginny video demonstrates movie Ginny's shyness versus book Ginny's sassiness.
- In this video she compares the gentle dreamy Luna from the movies to the spouting nonsense Luna from the books, but makes Luna more loud and obviously deranged.
- In this video not only does Ron not stand up to Sirius Black, who is still thought to be a murderer, but he walks away from Harry and Hermione while munching on Cheetos. This video demonstrates how Ron agrees with Snape's insults of Hermione in the movie as opposed to defending her. Her version are both exaggerated as "Movie" Ron repeatedly insults Hermione, while "Book" Ron goes at far as threatening to fight Snape.
- Her video about Snape shows how he demonstrates concern for the Potter family in the movies but only Lily in the books, but also gives Snape a nervous giggly demeanor while admitting to Dumbledore that he wanted James Potter dead. In the following video she she demonstrates Snape's bullying of students which gives him a mean-girly vibe.
- This video compares Dumbledore's reaction to Harry accidentally joining the Triwizard Tournament, calmly asking him in the book and slamming him and shouting in anger in the movie. Her version of Dumbldedore goes further than the Anger Born of Worry in the movie and goes as far to threaten Harry and insult him for his parents dying.
- Her Ginny video
- Crosscast Role: Mikala plays various male characters such as Harry, Dumbledore, Snape, and Ron.
- Inappropriate Hunger: "Movie" Ron has a tendency to casually pull out and munch on Cheetos, during times such as the middle of class and when his friends are facing down someone who they believe is a killer.
- Murder the Hypotenuse: Her version plans to convince Dumbledore to save his object of obsession, Lily, while leaving her husband and young son to die.
- Trademark Favorite Food: The "Movie" Ron loves Cheetos and pulls them out and munches on them at inappropriate times.
