Characters
Main article: List of Winx Club charactersPlot
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).
Season One
Main article: Winx Club (season one)Bloom, a supposedly ordinary girl from planet Earth, lives a perfectly normal life in the city of Gardenia with her mother, father and her pet rabbit, Kiko, until she stumbles upon Stella, a princess from the planet Solaria, who is in trouble, being attacked by the Trix's ogre, Knut. Coming to Stella's aid, Bloom discovers her magical abilities when she dodges a group of monsters and attacks an ogre. Stella persuades Bloom to join Alfea, a college for fairies in the Magical Dimension. She agrees to go to Alfea and leaves Gardenia and her parents. At Alfea, Bloom forms the "Winx Club", whose members are her four friends and roommates: Stella, and the three friends she meets at Alfea: Musa, Tecna, and Flora. A mysterious person called Daphne keeps appearing in Bloom's dreams. Later in the series, they encounter and befriend the Specialists: Brandon, Riven, Timmy and Sky, who also become the group's love interests. They also make enemies, including a trio of witches calling themselves the Trix: Icy, Darcy, and Stormy. The Trix are witches from Cloud Tower, a college for witches and dark magic that is roughly equivalent to Alfea, and are in search of the power of the Dragon flame, which is supposedly in Stella's magic scepter.Later in the season, the Trix steal Stella's scepter and realize that the scepter does not hold the Dragon Fire. Bloom is heartbroken by Brandon, who appears to be Prince Sky as he and the real Brandon switched identities, and she leaves Alfea and goes to Gardenia. However, the Trix realize that the Dragon Fire is the source of Bloom's magic, which they steal from her after revealing to her that she is the daughter of the king and queen of Domino, which was destroyed sixteen years ago by the Ancestral Witches who wanted to obtain the Dragon Flame; that Daphne is Bloom's older sister who sacrificed herself to save Bloom by sending her on Earth; that Bloom is the guardian of the Dragon Flame. They summon the Army of Decay, which they send to Red Fountain and Alfea. The witches from Cloud Tower and the Red Fountain Heroes join Alfea and together they defeat the Trix. Bloom later finds out with the help of Daphne that she never lost her powers but that was unable of using her magic because of her own insecurities and she defeats the Trix and the Army of Darkness. She also forgives Sky at the end of the season
Season Two
Main article: Winx Club (season two)The Trix are sent to Light Haven, a place to turn evil minds pure and good.

Lord Darkar releases the Trix from Light Haven and increases their powers. Aisha tells the others about how the pixies are being held as Lord Darkar's prisoners. Aisha, Bloom, Stella, Brandon and Sky go on a mission to Lord Darkar's lair, Shadow Haunt, to rescue the pixies Lockette, Amore, Chata, Digit, and Tune. At an opening of the new Red Fountain, Flora meets her love interest, Helia. Lord Darkar is after four pieces of a magical artifact called Codex, which allows one to enter the realm of Realix and gain the Ultimate Power. Bloom wants to know more about her birth parents, King Oritel and Queen Marion, and her lost kingdom, but Darkar gives her a shadow virus. The virus turns Bloom evil and she begins to taunt Timmy.

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.
Season Four
Main article: Winx Club (season four)Taking place after the events of "Secret of the Lost Kingdom", the Winx are back at Alfea as teachers. Faragonda also teaches them that there are endless infinite stages of fairy evolution and transformation, of which they learn about a new transformation called "Believix", which can only be accessed when people in a non-magical world start to truly believe in magic. To try to help the people on Earth believe in magic, the Winx open a magical pet store called 'Love & Pet'. During their time on Earth, they also bump into four wizards known as the Wizards of The Black Circle, a group who have trapped all of the fairies of Earth and are back to get one they unknowingly left behind. The Winx and Specialists have to track the wizards back to Gardenia and save the last terrestrial fairy, Roxy, while also trying to get people on Earth to believe in magic once again. Roxy is then captured, but soon thereafter believes in fairies and helps the Winx Club to earn their Believix. On a trip to discover Roxy's past, the Winx Club also discover the White Circle, something which helps to defeat the Black Circle but also controls Roxy. Soon after the Winx must earn the three gifts of destiny; two of which are Sophix and Lovix.

The second gift is the give of heart Lovix made from pure ice and snow it will allow the Winx to fight Aurora. After successfully freeing the Earth fairies who turn out to want revenge, Queen Morgana and her followers will stop at nothing to wage war against all of humans. Bloom also challenges Nebula to a fight, in which if Bloom wins the fairies will stop attacking and go home but if she loses all is lost. After Bloom wins the fight, the black gift is given and can be used to revive someone from death. Nebula and the wizards determination to fight left Nabu for dead, which causes Aisha to seek revenge. In the final battle, it is revealed that Roxy's mother is Morgana. After the Winx Club freeze the wizards in solid ice, Nebula is crowned as their new queen due Morgana choosing to abdicate and live in Gardenia. Aisha mourns Nabu, but later returns to the seven Winx Club girls who fly off into the sunset, heading back to Alfea.
Season Five
Main article: Winx Club (season five)The Winx Club embark on a mission to achieve Sirenix, an ancient transformation, that can be used in the water, on land or in the air, unlike Believix which can only be used on land or in the air. It is strong enough to defeat the evil, power-mad merman Tritannus and the Trix. Icy falls deeply in love with Tritannus and he with her, leaving Darcy and Stormy frustrated. There are two new fairy transformations in this season: Harmonix and Sirenix. The ancient Book of Sirenix gave them six Sirenix Boxes that holds guardians inside them to help them gain Sirenix and the Harmonix transformation. Before they achieve Sirenix, however, they must find the Gem of Self-Confidence, the Gem of Empathy, and the Gem of Courage; otherwise they would lose their magical powers.
There is a curse upon Sirenix that had left Bloom's older sister, Daphne, a disembodied spirit. There is the ancient Book of Sirenix that helps them gain full access to Sirenix, but there is a problem when they open the book. For instance, Tecna opens it and it transforms her into a terrifying robotic version of her self, making a mess in the Magic Archive the library in Alfea when she uses its power to defend herself. Daphne is the last fairy to achieve Sirenix until the Winx earn Sirenix themselves and enter the infinite ocean. Finally, the Winx gain Sirenix after activating the source of the power in Lake Roccaluce where Daphne lives due to her connection to Sirenix. Daphne gets captured by Tritannus and locked up in a prison cell under the Emperor's throne after Tritannus has stolen away her Sirenix powers with his trident and given them to the Trix as dark Sirenix, and they plan to defeat the Winx Club. Tritannus is also second son of king Neptune had turned into evil from his merman for. He refuels by taking in toxic pollution (oil, gas, trash, acid, and garbage) with his trident from the help of Icy and her two hesitant sisters since he can't stay for long in his mutant form.
During this season there is a lot of trouble between all of the Winx Club couples but it is mainly focusing on Bloom and Sky. For the first half of the season Sky lost his memory but later regained it, later Diaspro come back and she starts coming between Bloom and Sky since her had become the kings new liaison. Stella is wanting to become a fashion designer but it is also affecting her relationship with Brandon since she would not listen to what he has to say, Musa is starting to think that Riven is cheating on her with another fairy, Tecna and Timmy's relationship is good but they are spending too much time chatting through their phones and not having any real time together. Aisha is still missing Nabu since his death from Season 4 but is also starting to develop feelings for a new Specialist named Roy who is also developing feelings for her and Krystal, a new fairy at Alfea, starts coming between Flora and Helia and it turns out that she and Helia are childhood friends.
Roxy was not a main character in this season, but did appear as a minor recurring character, as she just began her first year at Alfea. She will appear more often in future episodes. Upset that he cannot activate the power of the Emperor's Throne, Tritannus must take the seals of the pillars of light, balance and control. Tritannus steals the seal of the Pillar of Light, and Stella restores the pillar. Tritannus then steals the seal of the Pillar of Balance. He almost fails when the Winx try to ambush both him and Icy, but thanks to Stormy and Darcy controlling the Singing Whales to attack the Winx, they are able to escape. However, they do not thank the other two Trix, much to Darcy and Stormy's dismay. Musa saves the whales. With two seals gone from two pillars, the next is the pillar of control to finally activate the emperor's throne. To prevent Tritannus from activating the throne, the Winx Club decide to destroy the seal of the pillar of control. After finding out that the seal is destroyed, Tritannus plans to steal Politea's (an old friend of Daphne's) Sirenix to activate the Emperor's throne.
However, he is not the only one who is looking for her: Darcy and Stormy are done with Tritannus and want her Sirenix for themselves, but Bloom is also looking for her to find a way to break the Sirenix curse on both her and Daphne. Darcy and Stormy succeed and leave Icy. Tritannus plans a big attack on the Winx at the Pillar of light. Luckily the Winx are not alone; they are helped by Tressa, Nereus and the selkies. Tritannus kills Nereus with his trident but Nereus is resurrected thanks to Aisha's wish. While distracted, Tritannus kidnaps Aisha and brings her to the throne but is followed by Bloom. Tritannus promises Icy that she will soon be empress, and he than steals Aisha's Sirenix to activate the throne. He becomes completely corrupted and overwhelmed by the power of the Emperor's throne and attacks Icy, but she is protected by her sisters and breaks up with Tritannus. Bloom finds out that the key to defeating Tritannus is destroying his trident and she burns it using her powers. Defeated, Tritannus is banished from the magical universe and sent to Oblivion as punishment for his actions. Bloom then used her Sirenix wish for the Sirenix curse to broken, thus restoring Daphne's body. The season ends with a concert from the Winx Club on Andros and with Bloom happily dancing with Daphne. Their parents join in their celebrations in a loving hug at the end.
The Trix appear on Earth, where Bloom alone cannot do anything, so the Trix kidnap Sky and come back to the Infinite Ocean. The three witches free Tritannus and convince him to become their ally again in order to get the powerful Pearl of the Abyss. The Winx join Bloom, and together they decide to rescue Sky. Will they manage to survive to the terrible prison dimension, the Oblivion, and then stop Tritannus and his allies in the Coral Barrier, fighting not only for Sky's salvation, but even for the balance of the whole Infinite Ocean?

As always, Bloom leads the Winx Club against the witches, but then they all lose all of their Sirenix powers; except for Bloom as her magical abilities are derived from the Dragon Flame, which is inextinguishable and cannot be taken from its keeper.
