Oh my gosh, I know. I have been saying that since the first time I saw it in the 8th grade. I love subtle magic, because magic is subtle in most cases.
I dont know subtle magic is boring. it's very limited and there magic is basically non existent. if your going to be a witch then I like the bells and whistles
No one can blame Gillian for turning out the way she did. Even as adults, those very same people in that part of town were always mean to her since she and sister Sally were kids.
She didn't actually turn out that bad after all. She seems to have reformed by the end. In the book, anyway. It's somewhat less obvious in the movie. I do really, really love both, though. 💘❤💙💜💖💗💘
The scene in the classroom is one of my favorites. It’s so simple but heart warming. Sally is alone, her sister pops in and their giggling in the back of the “class” lol reminds me of my sister and I.
+Tracy Daily Right! These witches are on the right track! Lol... nothing like an Irish Witch, free from a man's control. No offence to men intended. Just let the woman connect with life and nature and see the wonders happen! Lol end of rant... ❤
Everyone is hung up on the title of this clip. Whether their ancestors were Welsh, Irish, Scottish or English, we all can appreciate the beauty in this film and agree that everyone loves an Irish witch.
@@dianeshelton9592well probably is a USA's problem or maybe is an old problem, an anglo problem... Now they talk about " latinos" when they died centuries ago but now they use the term to classify people from latinoamerica (just a cultural trait) as a race because they dont want to accept that the children of true latinoamericans are citizens of USA too.
@@ewwwitscosso2292 ~ I would have thought so, but the book makes reference to them emigrating from England. Maybe, like a great many Irish, they set sail from an English port?
Phone tree day! But Sally never gets picked cuz everybody knows she's a, (different) laugh out loud. I love this movie! How cool would that be to live in that house with those women who are your aunts. Who have brownies for breakfast and midnight margaritas not to mention they practice Practical Magic! And listen to Joni Mitchell singing I could drink a case of you and still be on my feet. From start to finish I wish I was part of that family and I wish I was there. Anyway I know it's just a movie but hey a guy can daydream 😜
A product of the ancient Brythonic Celts of Wales, the name Owens, is from the Welsh personal name Owen or Owain. The Old Welsh forms of this name were Ouen and Ouein and were borrowed from the Latin name Eugenius. This is in turn derived from the Greek name Eugenios, which means well-born or noble. Yay Wales!!
I didn't know this came from a book. Shocking, since I read constantly. So after enjoying the heck out of the movie, I got the book. OMG. I've never hated a book more. I've never even hated a book. I hated this one. The movie was better than the book? Yes. Much.
I felt the same. But the sequels/prequels are a lot better. The author aligned them more with the themes of the movie than the first book. Give them a read! Particularly The Rules of Magic, it’s amazing!
@@kaseydetrick1371 I am currently reading the rules of magic...this book is all over the place if it doesn't get better by CD 6 it's going in my DNF pile..🙄
I loved an Irish witch. Her parents were both born on the boat on the way over from Ireland and she learned witchcraft from her grandmother. We met in the Pagan forum on GEnie (before Al Gore opened the internet to everyone). eHarmony is right: As long as your values are aligned everything else works out. We talked on the phone almost every night back when long-distance was Expensive. I didn't even get a picture of her for six months and then it was an old picture. We met in person a year later and a year after that drove across the country and moved in with her. It's the only way to fly. If I had met her in person I might not have given her a second look. She was the Love of my Life. She passed almost nine years ago now.
@@lmatt88They're not fighters... The movie portrays them as regular people who happen to have abilities and use rituals and spells in their everyday lives. What exactly were they supposed to do...light him on fire...? They did kill him and then vanquish his spirit so....
One of her ancestors ( I think her grandfather but I’m not sure) was a very rich man who emigrated from England. He owned alot of land in Australia. It’s not spoken about in the media much but the Kidman family is very very rich because of this man. I think his name was Sydney, like the city
HolyCrapItsKatie they are Irish in ancestry. Thier last name is OWENS, and as an Irish crone myself i can atest, the heart of an irish witch can bewitch any man of her choosing,,,,, we are a,,,,,, special kind.
@@Prettyredflames - You're a bit arrogant, aren't you? There's no "pretense" about it. There are more people of Irish descent in America (40 million) and Australia (7 million) than in Ireland itself (maybe 6 million between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland combined?) We may not be Irish nationals, but we retain and remember where our lineage comes from. I suppose there are no Chinese in the world, accept in China? No Jews anywhere but Israel? No Hispanic populations anywhere other than Spain? And all those African-Americans must just be "pretending", as well? As far as Owens: Owens is a traditional Welsh surname found in the UK. The name's original roots come from Wales. Historically in Welsh Owen is spelt Owain. It can also be found in Ireland (especially in Ulster) as an anglicisation of the surname McKeown. Sometimes the exiles know better -- and better appreciate their heritage -- than those who got left behind (figuratively and literally).
She has kids. Probably got tired of getting it trapped inside toys, pulled by little fingers, not having enough time to wash and style it properly, etc.
