Teenager Kyra accidentally uncovers a world of magic and must now learn to live with her new abilities as she becomes part of The Bureau Of Magical Things. A perfect show for kids with plenty of fun and adventure.

From Harry Potter to Just Add Magic, kids absolutely love all things magical. And The Bureau of Magical Things is no different.

The show hails from Australia and originally aired on Nickelodeon. It follows teenager Kyra who is living quite a normal life until one evening when out for a run, she sees a floating book and touches it. That then fills her with magic.

But Kyra (Kimie Tsukakoshi) is no ordinary girl and we soon discover that the book was being fought over between a fairy and an elf, that Kyra couldn't see.


Touching the book instantly gave her the magical powers of both, while still remaining mostly human. So now Kyra is a tri-ling, part-human, part-fairy, and part-elf.

Coming to terms wither her new reality is difficult but Kyra discovers a whole magical world she knew nothing about. That world is controlled by the Department of Magical Intervention (DMI) and is filled with magical creatures.

But the world is changing. The human and magic worlds co-existed in harmony, but as technology advanced, the magic world was pushed back, and fairies and other magical creatures became endangered species.

Now someone wants to restore magic to its rightful place and it is up to Kyra to unite humans, elves, and fairies in order to save them all.

With the help of Professor Maxwell (Christopher Sommers), elves Imogen (Elizabeth Cullen) and her brother Darra (Julian Cullen) and fairies Lily (Mia Milnes) and Ruksy (Rainbow Wedell), the group uncover secrets and an unexpected threat to the human world that no one could have imagined.

There's only one problem. Kyra must keep her magical powers a secret which is tricky because her best friend Peter (Jamie Carter) begins to suspect that something is up and he wants to know what is going on!

Also not helping things is the enigmatic figure that seems to want to get rid of Kyra, and plots to have her banned from the fairy world. But who is behind the threat and can the friends stop them?

The Bureau of Magical Things is everything you would expect from a show aimed at tweens and a younger audience.
