This kid actress-turned-author and reiki healer burst onto television screens three decades ago when she appeared in one of Disney's most popular Halloween films to date, but 30 years later, she has turned her attention away from her famed roles to a much more personal existence.

Rather, another on-screen celebrity was wrongly identified as the face of her much-loved movie character. So can you guess which of these women really played the role of the girl who caused her brother to be turned into a cat in this film from 30 years ago?

An Unfiltered Review of "Hocus Pocus" — From Someone Who Watched It For the Very First Time

www.popsugar.co.uk, October 18, 2022
I hope this is a judgement-free zone because, no, I have not watched "Hocus Pocus" in all my 25 years of living, that is, until now. I was born four years after the spooky classic debuted in 1993, and I was in my defense. In addition,, I'm not a big cable viewer, so I didn't tune in to watch it during its numerous broadcasts on television. However, I'm proud to say that I've finally joined the "Hocus Pocus" bandwagon and understand why it's such a popular Halloween film. Max (Omri Katz), Dani (Thora Birch), and Allison (Visya Shaw) entangled the Sanderson sisters in a bizarre Halloween misadventure, which seems more frightening than it is actually is.

www.popsugar.co.uk, October 7, 2022
Hannah Waddingham's appearance on "Hocus Pocus 2" has more than enough reason to press the "play" button. Mother Witch, a silver-haired sorceress who gives the Sanderson sisters their spellbook, appears in the Disney sequel as the British Emmy winner. Despite her pivotal role in the trio's villain origin story — I mean, who would they be without Bookie? Mother Witch of Waddingham has a ridiculously short screen time. For anyone who is planning to write a formal letter of complaint, she appears for about three minutes and 24 seconds.) Performance-length concerns aside, let's unpack and appreciate Waddingham's masterpiece of a scene, shall we? As a young Winifred, Sarah, and Mary Sanderson (portrayed by Taylor Paige Henderson, Juju Journey Brener, and Nina Kitchen, respectively) leave Salem to the Forbidden Woods, they encounter a red-and-black bird that swoops down from a tree branch and transforms into Mother Witch. She's a mesmerizing sight to behold in the otherwise drab woodland, with glowing eyes, curly hair, and silver face gemstones.
