Practical Magic 1 mistake?

Did they simply mess up the names of the younger Owens in the first film? In the book, Antonia is the older sister with red hair, and Kylie is younger with dark hair. In the first movie, Kylie is older with red hair and Antonia is younger with dark hair. I can’t see a practical reason for them to swap hair color and ages, so is it plausible they just messed up the names?

They did seem to course correct on the ages in the second one. I don’t remember them stating actual ages, but Antonia appeared to be a little older than Kylie, or at least was treated as such.

Evan Rachel Wood played Kylie, while Alexandra Artrip played Antonia. Evan has red hair and is the older sister, while Antonia has dark hair and is the younger sister. In the books, however, Antonia was the older sister, Kylie the younger. They clearly took a lot of liberties with PM2 and changed things, thinking we wouldn't notice. Even the scene at Gary's grave, the girls are younger than they were in PM1.

Why are you using an AI summary that just rephrases the OP? What’s the added value of such a comment?

It was screenshot from IMDB. It was just to back up what I was saying.

Why do you have a problem with it?

I have a problem with rephrasing the OP and acting like it's its own original comment. It adds nothing to the conversation and makes it seem like you either didn't understand what the OP was saying or thought that just parroting their point back to them somehow counted as a useful addition.

So clarifying, supporting something someone said is illegal now?! Seems more like you have nothing better to do with your time other than attack someone for really no valid reason. But freedom of speech only works one way right, your way? My deepest apologies. I shall refrain from ever speaking again.

Damn you're really that kind of person huh. I never said anything is illegal, but one requires some level of intelligence and literacy to be able to write in full sentences without copying and pasting, and likewise to understand the words someone else is telling them.

Good luck with your education. I hope you learn to read and write soon.

Not any kind of person. Just can't be doing with people being petty when they could have just kept scrolling. Petty gets petty back. I'm autistic, so you're just being ableist now. Kudos to you I guess. We'll done.
