It must be the season of the witches… because Practical Magic 2 is here, at last! Grab your broomstick, the Owens women are back. It’s been 28 years since Practical Magic, could they not have magicked this sequel into existence any quicker?
But good things come to witches who wait, and the story of two witchy sisters brought up by their eccentric aunts is finally getting the follow-up we’ve been quietly summoning under our breaths for years…
Practical Magic went on to become a cult classic. It cast a spell over a devoted audience who returned to it year after year, turning an annual rewatch into an autumnal ritual.
Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman and Stockard Channing are all back to play the roles of Sally, Gillian and their aunt; Sally’s children Kylie and Antonia are played by Joey King and Maisie Williams.
