"Just Add Magic" is a popular Amazon Prime Video original series that has captivated audiences of all ages. One of the most appealing aspects of the show is its intriguing and well-developed characters. Each character brings their own unique qualities to the story, making it more engaging and relatable for viewers. The three main characters of "Just Add Magic" are Kelly Quinn, Hannah Parker-Kent, and Darbie O'Brien. Kelly is the leader of the group and is known for her determination and bravery. She has a strong sense of justice and will go to great lengths to protect her friends and family.
But in the first episode of season 3, the Becky from 1975 uses magic to travel to the present, to see how life turns out for her newborn son, Scott (Kelly's father). She meets the current Protectors, and when she learns that magic had caused a rift between her and her friends in the past, she returns to her own time and changes the timeline. Things get much worse in the present, so the current Protectors go back in time to set things right. While in 1975, the girls learn that Ida (Mama P) had been working on a spell to keep the cookbook forever. So they destroy that recipe before it can be used, and return to the present, where the timeline is back to normal.
like eight months or so after it seemed like season 3 ended, a single new episode called New Protectors was released, and once again, rather than calling it a new season, it s still season 3. Jake continues working at the shop, though he isn t very happy about all the changes, and he s hurt that Mama P left without saying goodbye, or anything.
She has a strong sense of justice and will go to great lengths to protect her friends and family. Hannah, on the other hand, is the brains of the group. She is incredibly intelligent and resourceful, always coming up with clever solutions to the problems they face.

November 15, 2016Meet Olivia Sanabia, a 13-year-old actor starring as Kelly Quinn in “Just Add Magic“ on Amazon, a TV show loosely based off a book of the same name by Cindy Callaghan. Sanabia grew up in musical theater, yet her passion for acting clicked when watching the movie “Ramona and Beezus.”
“That movie allowed me to see a young girl who was my age on the big screen. I realized that was something I really wanted to do and something I love,” Sanabia said. “I’ve been doing it ever since.”
“Just Add Magic” circles around a magical cookbook discovered in the attic. Three best friends Kelly Quinn (Olivia Sanabia), Darbie (Abby Donnelly) and Hannah (Aubrey Miller) experiment with the book and its recipes. They discover that each recipe has certain mystical effects on the consumer.
“Kelly and I both love to bake. She’s a little better at it than I am for sure, but we both really enjoy it,” said Sanabia. “I think the cool thing about playing this character is that it got me more into baking and I really love it.”

Season two of “Just Add Magic” will premiere in January 2017. In the meantime, fans can watch the Halloween episode special that aired Oct. 14.
“I really hope the fans enjoy [season two] because it’s ten times the mystery and magic of the first season. It’s really exciting and you see more of an emotional journey, and I think that was really something that was special and challenging,” said Sanabia.
Sanabia works with the charity Cookies for Kids’ Cancer, a non-profit organization that raises funds for research to develop treatments for children battling cancer.
“If I [could] create my own recipe, I would create cancer-curing cake pops. I just think that if I could give those Cake pops to people in need it would be amazing,” said Sanabia. “Unfortunately magic isn’t real so I’m going to do what I can to help Cookies for Kids’ Cancer to hopefully find a cure.”
Along with her acting career, Sanabia also pursues singing and songwriting in her free time and uploads covers to her YouTube Channel (@ Olivia Sanabia ).
“What motivates me is knowing that [my career] really could stop at any second. Every day is just a blessing. My faith motivates me. It reminds me to stay humble and to treat people with respect and do my best at everything,” Sanabia said.
Watch season 2 of “Just Add Magic “ on Amazon in January 2017.
Season One
The series is set in a town called Saffron Falls. The main characters are three best friends named Kelly Quinn (Olivia Sanabia), Darbie O'Brien (Abby Donnelly), and Hannah Parker-Kent (Aubrey Miller). They find a cookbook in Kelly's attic, and it turns out that the recipes are actually spells. (It seems like sometimes a spell affects the person who eats the thing they cook, and sometimes it can affect others when the girls themselves eat what they cooked, which doesn't really make sense to me, but whatevs.) Spells do come with a price, though, which will be somehow related to the effects of the spell itself. There are various episodes where the girls are cooking things to create spells for whatever random problem they're having in that episode, or whatever. But there's also a larger story-arc, at the center of which is Kelly's desire to find some way to break a curse that her grandmother, Becky Quinn, is under. Sometime prior to the start of the series, Becky had just mysteriously lost the ability to speak, and started seeming sort of generally confused, and stuff. Kelly's parents, and her little brother, all naturally assume Becky has some kind of medical condition, though doctors have been unable to figure it out. And it's only after discovering that the cookbook is actually a spellbook that Kelly and her friends realize the truth.
Darbie is the heart of the group, known for her kindness and compassion. She has a deep understanding of others and is always there to offer support and understanding. Other notable characters include Grandma Quinn, who is Kelly's wise and mysterious grandmother, and Mr. Morris, the eccentric owner of a local magic shop. Grandma Quinn plays a crucial role in guiding the girls on their magical journey, while Mr. Morris provides them with the tools and ingredients they need to create their magical recipes. Throughout the series, the characters face various challenges and obstacles, both magical and personal. However, their strong bond and loyalty to one another help them overcome these obstacles and grow both individually and as a group. They learn valuable lessons about friendship, trust, and the importance of using magic responsibly. The characters in "Just Add Magic" are not only well-written, but also wonderfully portrayed by a talented cast of actors. Their performances bring these characters to life and make them feel real and relatable. The chemistry between the actors is evident, making the interactions between the characters genuine and believable. In conclusion, the characters in "Just Add Magic" are what make the show truly special. Their unique qualities, growth throughout the series, and the performances of the actors all contribute to creating an immersive and enjoyable viewing experience. Whether you're a fan of fantasy, mystery, or simply a well-told story, "Just Add Magic" offers something for everyone..
Reviews for "The Lessons Taught by "Just Add Magic" Characters"
1. Sally - 2 stars - I found the characters in "Just Add Magic" to be incredibly annoying. They were constantly making dumb decisions and seemed to lack any common sense. Kelly, for example, always jumped headfirst into dangerous situations without thinking things through. And Darbie was just plain irritating with her know-it-all attitude. Overall, the characters came across as one-dimensional and unlikable, which made it hard for me to invest in their story.
2. Mark - 1 star - I couldn't stand the characters in "Just Add Magic". They were all so cliché and predictable. The main trio of girls were typical teenage stereotypes - the smart one, the cool one, and the quirky one. There was nothing unique or original about them. Even their interactions and dialogue felt forced and uninspired. I couldn't connect with any of the characters and as a result, I found the show to be boring and uninteresting.
3. Emily - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the characters in "Just Add Magic". They were supposed to be young girls with magical powers, but they came across as childish and immature. Their constant bickering and petty arguments got on my nerves. The show seemed to focus more on their personal drama than the actual magic and adventure, which was a letdown. The characters lacked depth and growth, making it hard for me to root for them or care about their journey. Overall, I found the characters to be annoying and poorly developed.
