You automatically assumed I have not watched the show. I'll let it be known, I have read the source material and watched the source show, and at least a few of the episodes.
It's a poor rendition of magic none the less. When I make a statement that magic in fiction rarely does a proper depiction of actual magic and witchcraft, I mean it.

I have watched the show. It's good fun and entertaining, like Harry Potter. But real? Oh, dear!

Despite what everyone keeps saying, some of the practices do exist, but they are not the same and are not as "special effects", cursing, hexing, etc are real, as are the coven system but the elemental control, weather magic and others are certainly not.
Despite the special effects the magical basis is not as bad as most shows, but don't take anything done on the show as anywhere near reality.

Leave entertainment to entertain you. Trying to learn from it is not a good idea. It is created for entertainment, why question if it's real, or like real?

That is the problem,Star! The writers of these fantasies do put in little bits of the actual Craft, and bits of Occult beliefs.That makes it seem real to youngsters. The worst thing about "The Originals" is that it is about a family of Vampires! Add that show to The Vampire Diaries; Charmed, Twilight, Buffy The Vampire Slayer; and it is no wonder we get all these kids asking about vampires on this site!

Hey there begginer259,
As you said the very magickal side of the originals like shape shifting and throwing fire doesn't exist as far as I know though I wish it did haha but scrying, curses, hexes etc do exist and are practiced by a large variety of individuals all over the globe, though not quite the same as on the originals but some magick shown in the show can be related to magick which is practiced by individuals. Best of luck in the future with your magickal path,
all the best Tom.
