Unforgettable TV and Movie Witches
Not all witches have warts on their noses, or are seen riding brooms past a full moon in the dark of night.
The Wicked Witch of The West
The Wicked Witch of The West, perhaps the most well known stage witch, was played by Margaret Hamilton in The Wizard of Oz in 1938 .The Wicked Witch of the West seeks revenge on Dorothy after her house falls on her sister The Wicked Witch of the East. Margaret Hamilton was a school teacher who played small parts until her role in The Wizard of Oz.
Glinda The Good Witch of the North
Glinda the Good Witch of the North was played by Billie Burke. Glinda brings Dorothy the Ruby Slippers that The Wicked Witch of the East was wearing when she was killed and tells her to head for Oz.
Matilda
Little Matilda Wormwood , played by Mara Wilson, displayed special talents from a very early age. At the school that Matilda attends, the children are terrorized by their evil principle Agatha Trunchbull, but Matilda finds many unique and hilarious ways to get back at her for her wrongdoings.
Samantha and Tabatha Stephens
Much to the chagrin of her spell-casting family, Samantha, played by Elizabeth Montgomery is married to the mortal Darrin. Samantha gives birth to Tabatha, who has her mother`s ability to change things and cast spells with a wiggle of her nose. The two are truly Bewitched.
Endora
Endora, played by Agnes Moorehead, is Samantha Stephens` mother on Bewitched. Endora hates mortals and casts many spells while trying to destroy her daughter`s marriage to a mere mortal.
Witch Hazel
Witch Hazel, the green skinned, brew cooking witch made her debut in 1954 in the Looney Tunes episode Bewitched Bunny. Although she was attempting add children as an ingredient to her bubbling brew, she seemed to be good natured and was prone to fits of cackling laughter.

None of my pictures showed up. I will fix.
A great list of witches!
I wanted to be the Wicked Witch of the West as a kid.
Some great witches here lol
most of the witches i liked are there… thank you!
My favorite one was the Wicked Witch of the West. I also loved all her monkey cohorts.
Great article and nostalgic walk down memory lane.
I grew up watching The Wizard of Oz. It was on once each year until long after I was married, then I watched with you kids. Witch Hazel was my favourite witch though. She always left the scene in a flurry of flying hair pins.
I enjoyed these very much.
Of course, Bewitched is one of my all time favorite TV shows!
Nice article!
Blessings.

I haven’t seen any of these, but they must be fun and wonderful.
I remember them well! I saw Wicked on stage in London and the first two witches featured in that too. I used to love the Bewitched series on TV and really enjoyed the movie recently. This is a great article so close to Halloween.
