| Previously banished to the Omega Dimension, the Trix are able to escape with Valtor, an evil sorcerer partially responsible for the destruction of Bloom's home planet,Domino. They choose to cooperate and plan to invade several areas in the realm of Magix and seek vengeance on those who imprisoned them by stealing their exceptionally strong, powerful, magical and mystical treasures and immeasurable power sources of each realm. Soon the Winx find a new power called Enchantix, which Aisha was the first of the Winx to get it. With their newly strong and powerful Enchantix powers, Flora, Stella, Aisha, Tecna, and Musa are able to use strong, incredible power and can miniaturize themselves. Bloom, however, cannot miniaturize herself due to the fact that her Enchantix is not complete. The Winx begin their third and final year at Alfea, learning about their Enchantix transformations, acquired by selflessly sacrificing themselves for someone from their home world (or even everyone from every world, in what ends up being Tecna's case). With no one from her home planet to save, Bloom must acquire her Enchantix on Pyros, the island of dragons. She also learns more about her home world of Domino, as well as the truth about where her birth parents, Oritel and Marion, are. | Previously banished to the Omega Dimension, the Trix are able to escape with Valtor, an evil sorcerer partially responsible for the destruction of Bloom's home planet,Domino.

Main article: List of Winx Club episodesThere are two different Winx Club plots, listed as follows:
- The original story-line, which was produced by Rainbow S.R.L., was mainly focused on Bloom's story.
- The series went through a reboot after Rainbow S.R.L. partnered with Nickelodeon, where the first and second season were made into four special 1 hour episodes (3 for season 1 & 1 for season 2) and the third and fourth seasons were dubbed again, following the original story-line, albeit with minor differences.
- The commonly called 4Kids version which, as part of 4Kids Entertainment's policy of adapting foreign animated shows to an American audience, was heavily edited and often diverged from the original story-line, including name changes (such as the original name of Bloom's planet of origin, Domino, which was replaced by Sparks in the 4Kids version; Aisha was named Layla in the most dubs), as changes in the role of characters (such as Daphne, who is Bloom's older sister whose role was changed to that of being only a nymph protecting both the Dragon Fire and Bloom's crown by 4Kids) and changes in the character and personality of characters (Tecna was given a British accent and Musa was given a hip hop-like personality by 4Kids).
</ref> On 2 September 2010, Nickelodeon announced through a press release that they will be co-producing seasons 5 and 6 of the series. On February 26, 2014, Romi Dames, the voice of Musa, confirmed that Nickelodeon did not renew the show for a seventh season via twitter. Rainbow will produce the seventh season without Nickelodeon.
