Plot

Sadie Sparks revolves around the adventures of Sadie, a teenage girl who discovers she has magical abilities and becomes a magician-in-training. She receives the guidance of a magical bunny, Gilbert, who was sent to the human world from the Magical Realm to train Sadie and keep her powers under control, but with this new responsibility Sadie must also balance high school life.

Characters

Main

  • Sadie Josephine Sparks (voiced by Georgia Lock) is a 14-year-old girl who realizes she's a magician-in-training.
  • Gilbert (voiced by Rufus Hound) is an ancient 700-year-old grumpy rabbit who trains Sadie.
  • Teepee (voiced by Joshua LaClair) is one of Sadie's friends, who loves pop-culture.
  • Lulu (voiced by Dominique Moore) is Sadie's best friend, who is very smart with a short temper (Max has a crush on her).

Recurring

  • Valerie "Val" Garcia (voiced by Laura Aikman) is Sadie's rival and school bully.
  • Blaine (voiced by Tyger Drew-Honey) is Sadie's magician rival.
  • Cornelius (voiced by Craig Revel Horwood) is a snake who is Blaine's scorny mentor.
  • Max (voiced Cory English) is Sadie's younger brother (Sadie would rather Luke who she babysits for was her sibling instead).
  • Selina Sparks (voiced Laura Aikman) is the mother of Sadie and Max and the local journalist of Harmony.
  • Principal Covert (voiced Morwenna Banks) is the headmistress of Harmony High, and is obsessed with finding proof of magic.
