I don't understand how the movie totally contradicts with the book. In the book, Ma lwanted to prove that she wasn't soft and weak like her father and that she was capable of being truly evil and find her mother's staff, the Dragon's Eye, and, in the end, failed and instead, Diablo found it. But as I've seen from the trailers and a few online spoilers, in the movie, she says that they don't have to be evil if they don't want to and don't have to prove themselves to their parents, and Mal puts a love potion in Ben's cookie, when in the book, she though that love was "for the silly, the weak, the good." All of a sudden, she becomes good when in possibly a few months between the timespan of the book and the movie, maybe not even 2 months.
