The Mystical Adventures of Billy Owens is a 2008 Canadian fantasy film, which takes place in Spirit River, Alberta, Canada, about a boy who discovers on his 11th birthday that he is capable of using magic and must save his town from destruction. This film was presented in two parts under a To Be Continued format, with a sequel, Billy Owens and the Secret of the Runes, which followed in 2010.

The film was panned by several critics. DVD Verdict said about the movie Nothing about this film is the least bit coherent. Nothing. Zero. Zip. Nada. Zilch, and went on to compare the movies plot line to that of the Harry Potter franchise. Common Sense Media gave it one out of five stars, saying At the end of the day, this is a poorly filmed, poorly executed attempt to get on board the Harry Potter train. The film was panned by both critics for both its poor quality and rushed nature.
