Nathaniel, a twelve-year-old magician-in-training, thinks he’s ready to take on more challenging spells. With revenge against the proud and ambitious Simon Lovelace on his mind, he masters one of the toughest spells of all and summons Bartimaeus, a 5000-year-old djinni, to assist him.

The magic comes to cinematic life in The Amulet of Samarkand. This is Bartimaeus as you’ve never seen him before.
