	TV ACRES: Horror > Witches > Mildred Hubble (The Worst Witch)
		But, she herself was not born into a family of witches, but she aspires to master the arts of magic and earn her Witches Higher Certificate.
		And even though the school's gentle-nature headmistress, Miss Cackle, dubbed Mildred "The Worst Witch" she overlooks Mildred's mistakes because she sees that Mildred has the potential to be a truly good witch one day.
		After passing her basic witch training, Mildred Hubble transferred to a special school for witches and wizards called Weirdsister College to further develop her unique and emerging abilities and hopefully learn to cope with her fear of the dark.

	Kiddult Fiction - The Worst Witch
		One of the first things to strike me about Jill Murphy's The Worst Witch was its original publication date.
		The narrator intervenes frequently, and is sometimes didactic in tone, for example 'I mean, whoever heard of a witch who was scared of the dark?'.
		I was also amused by the relationship between the headmistress, Miss Cackle, and teacher Miss Hardbroom, who appears to be trying to assert her superiority to the headmistress, for example by quoting the witches' code to her.

		Sometimes those lines get blurred, and with what I'm about to show you, this is probably the worst instance of one of those times.
		This song doesn't have any breaks between the lines, so as we keep switching gears from one stupid effect to another, poor Tim is singing continuously as his body's being chopped into little digital squares.
		I guarantee about half of you have completely forgotten that The Worst Witch is actually about some little girl by this point.

	Kiddult Fiction - The Worst Witch
		Whilst The Worst Witch does present the alternate world that as a child (and adult) you always want to believe in, it lacks the acute detail that Rowling utilises so brilliantly to make that world seem tangible and exciting.
		In The Worst Witch there are school houses - but no names, there is no sorting hat ritual, no Quidditch and no Voldemort.
		I notice this as an adult reader, but as a child I only remember thinking that I was being told a story.

	Scifilm -- Reviews, THE WORST WITCH (1986)
		Ethel vows revenge, and so, when Mildred's broom is discovered to be unfit to fly in the school's broomstick performance (being broken from Mildred's failed attempt at flying with Tabby), gives her a magicked-up spare, which not only embarrasses Mildred but disgraces the entire school in the eyes of the Grand Wizard.
		While this is happening, a group of evil witches plot to take over the school and turn the staff into frogs.
		I also liked a few of the little details, like the broomstick toothbrushes and some of the names (although I'm a bit distracted by the fact that Maud's last name is different in all three versions of the show).

		Aimed at 5- to 11-year-olds, the set starts with Mildred's first day at Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches, a secondary boarding school that emphasizes discipline and traditional values but that also teaches young girls how to ride broomsticks, chant, and cast spells.
		The strong storylines focus mainly on whether Mildred will make the grade as a bona fide witch and her continuing rivalry with snooty Ethel Hallow.
		Whether Mildred is turning Ethel into a pig or being transformed into a frog, pre-teenagers will relate to the heroine, learning from her the importance of determination, imagination, and friends.

		Powers/Abilities: Mildred is a witch, and reasonably capable, but nerves and clumsiness often mean her spells go awray.
		Her new school proved to be for witches, and well-intentioned but clumsy Mildred became the worst witch in the establishment.
		Though she was initially quite bad at magic, Mildred's persistance and diligence paid off in the long run, and she even saved the school from hostile take-over by a group of evil witches.
