Mildred Hubble is a witch who isn't that great...She's constantly in trouble simply because of the nature of her heart. I'm 21 now and I am a male...and I'm totally secure with masculinity (I dunno why I wrote that...) But as a kid I truly loved this show, I found it sweet and charming. More importantly I was totally in love with Mildred. Now it seems that Hary Potter and Twilight are taking on the mantle of 'Supernatural' kids genre...or what have you...I honestly don't care about that I think Twilight is lame...This show is definitely one that has gone unnoticed...However it's still one of the greats of my childhood.

I don't really want to give my opinions on witches themselves, other than that it's ridiculous to form some sort of angry assumption that just because they're witches in a school that they're 'Wiccans'. It's a CHILDREN'S show. Not meant to be taken seriously, just for watching. I liked it when it was on, and think it did pretty well with the characters. If you're looking for a show that kids will enjoy watching (but hopefully won't take seriously and try to find a witch's school to join) then I think you should look into this one. It's funny, and even the girl who plays Mildred fits the part very well. Even though it's not on anymore, it was a pretty good show.

I first heard of The Worst Witch when I was 7 years old (my school librarian read part of it to the class). Then it faded almost to nothing in my mind. Then I saw Nickelodeon had a TV series, and I grew interested again. Thanks to the show, I have now read two of the books and I have also seen the TV movie with Tim Curry. It's an excellent series and I hear Mildred is now attending Weird Sister College.

10 years ago when I was a mere 8 years old I was a huge fan of "The Worst Witch" books by Jill Murphy. Then, a decade later I saw that a TV adaptation had been made and so I watched it with interest. And I was very impressed! As well as adapting the stories contained within the first 2 books ("The Worst Witch" and "The Worst Witch Strikes Again") the makers have also created some original stories which are just as good. The cast is excellent! Newcomer Georgina Sherrington was an ideal choice for Mildred Hubble, as were all of the actresses. The makers have also created characters that weren't in the books (such as Jadu Wali and Ruby Cherrytree), and developed characters that are only briefly mentioned in the books (such as Drucilla Paddock) which adds a little extra to the show. I did see the 1986 film starring Fairuza Balk and Tim Curry a long time ago (a decade or more) and from what I can remember it wasn't as good as this TV series. Overall, the cast and crew have done an excellent job and fans of the books both young and old will love it!
