The Worst Witch

When Miss Cackle refuses Mildred's request to make her mum Julie magical, angry Mildred enters the Great Wizard's broomstick-flying contest. She's determined to win a Wishing Star so she can give Julie magic herself. But Mildred is thwarted by bitter rival Ethel Hallow, and both girls are disqualified - only for Mildred to make a surprising discovery.

Ethel and Miss Hardbroom make sure that Julie's first day teaching art, as Cackle's first non-magical teacher, is a humiliating disaster. Mildred is furious at the injustice and steals the confiscated Wishing Star, vowing to make her mum equal - by giving her forbidden magic.

Julie has no idea how to control her amazing new magical powers, and Mildred realises she's made a terrible mistake. She's terrified Julie's secret will be discovered and they'll both be thrown out of Cackles - but Julie's having way too much fun to give up her forbidden magic now.

Full of bitterness and resentment, Ethel is casting spells in anger - and slowly turning into an ugly swamp troll. Transformation complete, Cackles is in uproar at this hideous creature, and Miss Hardbroom banishes Troll Ethel to the forest. Is there still a shred of kindness inside Ethel which can save her, or is it too late?

Let down by her parents (again) Enid is feeling blue but she soon finds a new purpose.
