A Guide to all of your favorite actresses who have played WITCHES onscreen

OHMYGOSSIP – Here is a small list of all of our favorite, iconic witches from pop culture. The most popular today is probably Harry Potter´s magic world written by British author J. K. Rowling. The “Harry Potter” series followed young Harry as he attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry may have been the center of a prophecy, chosen to save the wizarding world, but he wouldn’t have gotten far without his friend Hermione Granger.

Called the “brightest witch of her age,” Hermione studied and cast spells that saved her friends time and again throughout the book series. Emma Watson, who played Hermione in the film franchise, said she has more in common with her character than she originally thought. “I feel as though I spent a long time trying to pretend I was not like Hermione,” said Watson. “And, of course, I was rather like Hermione; I’ve finally come to accept the fact.”
