this film's premise is similar to The Vampire's Assistant
(trailer & clips here), the first film adaptation of Darren Shan's Vampire Blood trilogy
(the first of 4 trilogies in his fictionally biographical Saga of Darren Shan
arc). Assistant had some great story elements, a lot of humor, and occasionally stellar special effects work; it was entertaining, but short of outstanding. not having read the books, i can't comment on them personally, but i gather J.K. Rowling liked them.Apprentice looks like it had a lot higher budget- your typical Disney summer blockbuster / family-oriented action-adventure film. i was skeptical but, judging by the trailer, this could be fun.

miscreants will be silenced, and hunted down by an ever-growing, unsleeping horde of darkly efficient Hideous Minions, each more terrible than the last, singularly and collectively gripped with an insatiable lust to brutally inflict whatever arbitrary and horribly whimsical retribution seems most ridiculously inappropriate to them at the time.
