Character Evolution Molly O’Reilly is one of the most popular characters in the Books of Magic franchise. She is beloved by fans and the creators.

She started off as Tim Hunter ’s first love interest, and was notable for her independence, intelligence, and strength. At first, we see their relationship as a pure, happy thing that is meant to be. She deals very well with Tim’s magical world, and it turns out that her grandmother has some insight into the world of faerie.
