Movie Reviews of The Worst Witch Collection - Set 2
Movie Review: Essential for Pre-teen girls - Episodes 7-13, series One
Summary: 5 Stars
An excellent series about Mildred a young witch starting at Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches (a boarding witch's secondary school). It's based on the few 'Worst Witch' books by Jill Murphy (a child's easy good read as well).
This DVD set has the last seven episodes taken from the first series (year 7), and so is very good value. Note that in the US this UK/Canadian series was tastelessly dubbed in `American' but fortunately there is a `UK English' option in the DVD setup menu so you can hear the stars real voices if you ish (the choice is yours). The rest of series one (episodes 1 to 6) is on the 'Battle of Broomsticks/Mean Halloween' two DVD NTSC set', also available from Amazon.
These DVD's are still some of my 11 year old daughters favourite viewing and would suite 8 upwards. They aren't as scary as Harry Potter and all the cast are really excellent in their roles - Miss Hardbroom [Kate Duchene] even turned down a role in the Harry Potter film to remain true to her TV character.
Typical quotes: "Magic must not be used for selfish or trivial ends!" - Miss Cackle, "Confidence and control, Mildred - that's the secret of success." - Miss Hardbroom. So highly recommended for non-boy offspring - this series is easily a notch above the average TV sitcom or teen movie.
