Summary: Magical!
Review: Both set one and set two of the Worst Witch DVDs are amazing! Not only are the episodes delightful, but the quality is fabulous! The author's words are truly magically spun into artistic splendor in these sets. All ages will enjoy the mischief and life lessons illustrated here.

The Main character, Mildred, is always in trouble, but manages to mantain her values and kindness towards all living creatures. She has a zest for battling the odds and coming through, even when she is prepared to truly give up. All of us have a little Mildred in us, hopefully, and the power to act and move forth. Bravo!

Summary: THE WORST WITCH WILL CHARM YOU!
Review: I love this adorable cable series. This isn't the Fairuza Balk film version. Stars Georgina Sherrington as the cute bumbling witch-in-training Mildred Hubble (Always in trouble!)Georgina is wonderful as Mildred, & Emma Brown as her ever loyal friend Maud Moonshine. Based on the books by Jill Murphy, which came out before Harry Potter (I might add).

Heart-warming, great cast & excellent acting. All of them embody the characters so well. There are a few new faces, Jadu Wali and Ruby Cherrytree as Mildreds friends.

I also love the sets, very authentic. The castle is really brilliant, It makes me want to live there.

Kate Duchene is wonderful as the dreaded Miss Hardbroom. I think she has great comic timing and really embodies, and perhaps brings even more to the part. She seems to enjoy the role too. And Una Stubbs is so endearing and charmingly quirky as the eccentric Miss Bat.

Felicity Jones is the PERFECT match for Ethel Hallow! She is absolutely mean. Poor Mildred runs afoul of her on her first day. I also like Holly Rivers as Ethel's sidekick and partner in crime, Drusilla Paddock.

I wanted to point out that if you play the dvd on number four (British English) in the audio section, you hear a lot more than the "American English" audio track. In episode 4 (A Mean Halloween) for example, when Mildred creates a voice changing potion, in the American English version you really can't hear much of a difference, but in the British English version her voice is REALLY high-pitched and squeaky (it's a lot funnier), plus I'm POSITIVE they've removed lines on the American audio track, because it was filmed originally British English. Anyways...

THIS IS A FANTASTIC SERIES! Much, MUCH better than the Fairuza Balk film version! It gives me warm fuzzies...:-)Goes great with cocoa. ;-)

Summary: A converted fan!
Review: I saw the original movie as a child and bought the dvd along with this series. I'd never seen the HBO series but I read most of the books. I wasn't sure what to expect but I loved it! It filled out a lot of the gaps in the movie version and I love this new Ms. Hardbroom. I've recently bought set 3 and 4 and I know I'll just love that too. I'm impressed that the audio tracks are multi-lingual...I'll get a kick out of watching it in Spanish and German! It's a great family show and the chemistry among the cast is great....I almost wish I was a kid again and in Ms. Cackles Academy!

Summary: worst witch is great
Review: My kids and I were lucky enough to get a advance promotional copy of this great DVD/VHS set. We have been fans of this show since it's been airing on HBO. If you are a Harry Potter fan than these videos and DVD's you will surely love. My girls just love all the capers and buggelings of Mildred (the female Harry Potter)and these programs are perfect for anyone who wants their kids to watch wholesome great family entertaiment.

Summary: The Worst Witch Collection, The Worst Collection Is Wright !
Review: Obviously Tracey Hogan, of Amazon.com.uk didn't see the original movie. While it's true that at first this collection may satisfy your hunger for more antics by Mildred Hubble....
This Mildred (Georgina Sherrington) needs acting lessons !!!!!!!!! They all do !!!!!!! If you've seen the original movie, like I have. This series is disappointing to say the least !!!!!!!!!
The girl that played Mildred Hubble (Fairuza Balk) in the original movie was perfect for this role. She's enchanting especially when she's clumsy. Her wit and charm will keep you spell bound. This movie leaves you wanting to know more and wondering what happens next year like Harry Potter you're intrigued to go on.
The girl in the TV Series, however, leaves a sour taste in your mouth. When I bought the first video, by mistake, thinking that it was the original movie, I could not wait to get rid of it. I did not want this eyesore to contaminate my collection.
Even my niece who was 7 at the time, hated this movie but loved the original. When she saw that there was a series on tape she made me buy the first one then cried when she saw it and wanted to break it.
If you want quality and to have a great time, get the original, The Worst Witch (The Movie) and get it on DVD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They made a real big mistake not casting the original actress to play Mildred Hubble maybe that's why it took so long to make.

Summary: The Very Best Witch
Review: This is one of the cutest shows for young girls in a long time. I'm just sorry it got canceled. All the preteen girls (and teens, mind you)in my family are just crazy about it. It runs on a continual loop on HBO/family at 6:00 every night but it only shows the first two seasons. Mildred and her friends are not the most popular or the most athletic but they manage to be the best of friend and always come out on top. It teaches girls lessons that american tv doesn't show anymore. I just wish they would put the 3rd and 4th season on tv or sell them on disk. They're out there somewhere. Amazon.com help us find them.
