    • Trivia
      The similarities between this and the Harry Potter series have been noted for years. Kate Duchêne was even offered a part in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002), but turned it down out of loyalty to The Worst Witch franchise.
    • Crazy credits
      The opening credits for the pilot feature a different music track than the other episodes which have the school song as the theme.

      Featured in The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon: Savannah Guthrie and Matt Lauer/Felicity Jones/FKA Twigs (2014)

    Childhood Memories
    As an avid reader, I enjoyed this delightful TV adaption of The Worst Witch! I remember being all excited to get home just so I could watch it! Miss Cackle was one of my faves, as she reminded me of one of my own teachers! There has definitely been some 'modern additions' to it, but it still retains its essence of old British 'charm'! But people should remember that this is based on an old book, intended for young children with vivid imaginations! It does not in anyway portray or is associated with wicca - as some people assume! This book was written way before Wicca became a big concept in modern society! And the producers definitely did not have Wicca in mind while producing it! So don't think that they are wrongly type casting! They just made it to the criteria in this classic book!
