Rafi the Wishing Wizard
Rafi the Wishing Wizard is a warm, funny CBeebies animated sitcom about a seven-year-old in Manchester who gets one magic wish a day, with gentle chaos and big heart following each one. This report covers Series 1 (26 episodes), with Series 2 in production at the same time and due to follow.
A lovely pick for children aged 3 and up, and the short 7-minute episodes make it easy to fit into any part of the day.
