Why these tropes fit
Linus Baker, a by-the-book case worker at the Department in Charge of Magical Youth, is sent on an assignment to evaluate whether six dangerous magical children at a remote orphanage pose a threat to the world. Arthur Parnassus, the orphanage's master, is fiercely devoted to protecting the children and harbors secrets that will eventually come to light. Through his time there, Linus discovers an unlikely family with Arthur and the children, and comes to realize that family can be found in unexpected places—and that it can become his own.
