When an overworked Fairy Godmother botches a selfless wish in a forgotten corner of Notting Hill, she must team up with the street-smart children she let down to put things right before she loses her wand and they lose faith in magic altogether.

SYNOPSIS:

In a council estate tucked behind the postcard streets of Notting Hill, twelve-year-old Elizabeth has grown up too fast. With her father away and her mother Katherine trapped in debilitating depression, Elizabeth and her younger brother Daniel quietly hold their family together. When hope finally runs out, Elizabeth makes a single, selfless wish - not for herself, but for her mother to be happy again.

That wish is heard.

Enter Felicity: a flamboyant, overworked Fairy Godmother clinging to relevance in a world that no longer believes in magic. With too many wishes, too few fairy godmothers, and a system on the brink of collapse, Felicity gets it wrong. Instead of healing Katherine, she delivers an ice-cream cart meant for another child—blocking the family’s hallway and shattering the promise of “happily ever after.”

When the children try to call Felicity back, their complaint draws the attention of the Fairy Godmother Council. Felicity is given an ultimatum: fulfil five long-neglected wishes in one week, or surrender her wand forever. Desperate to save herself, she returns to the estate, but still avoids taking responsibility, insisting that belief, patience, and “the process” will fix everything.

The children don’t buy it. Realising that waiting for magic is costing them time they don’t have, Elizabeth, Daniel, and their tight-knit group of friends decide to act. Using Felicity’s misplaced wish list, they set out across London to complete the wishes themselves: reuniting families, creating homes, restoring dignity, and quietly proving that care and community can succeed where magic stalls. With every wish fulfilled, the balance of power shifts. Felicity begins as the authority, but becomes the one learning.

As the children grow stronger, the threats close in. A bitter caretaker calls in social services. A beloved community elder collapses. The Fairy Godmother Council prepares to shut Felicity down. And one final, decades-old wish, left unfinished and misunderstood, comes into focus, revealing that the greatest damage magic can do is leaving too soon.

In the end, the children don’t wait to be saved. They build something of their own: a rooftop performance, a shared act of belief, and a reminder that joy can be created even when it cannot be conjured. Felicity faces the truth of her failures, and for the first time, chooses to use magic not to escape consequence, but to honour it.

Super Duper Uber Busy Fairy Godmother is a contemporary family fantasy about belief without guarantees, magic without shortcuts, and children who discover that the real power was never in the wand, it was in them, and in the community they refused to abandon.
