Phooka - On their way to the elves, the Grace kids find a phooka, a shapeshifter resembling a cross between a monkey and a black cat. Mulgarath was voiced by actor Nick Nolte, an onscreen force who has been acting for a long time, lending his talents to such classics as "48 Hrs.

Julian (Jules) Vargas - Nick's older "annoying brother", who spends all day surfing, stays out of his dad's way, and treats Nick like a kid. I thought Mark Waters did a great job directing and that Freddie Highmore and Sarah Bolger played the kids pitch-perfectly. Bolger played Mary Tudor on the Showtime series "The Tudors" and guest-starred as Princess Aurora on ABC's "Once Upon A Time. She also had a starring role as Jade on AMC's "Into The Badlands," and is currently starring as Emily Thomas on FX's "Mayans M.When Jared explains his discovery of the Book and the existence of magical creatures, his family does not believe him.
