worst witch is great, November 13, 2001
By A Customer
My kids and I were lucky enough to get a advance promotional copy of this great DVD/VHS set. We have been fans of this show since it's been airing on HBO. If you are a Harry Potter fan than these videos and DVD's you will surely love. My girls just love all the capers and buggelings of Mildred (the female Harry Potter)and these programs are perfect for anyone who wants their kids to watch wholesome great family entertaiment.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Essential for Pre-teen girls - Episodes 7-13, series One, January 12, 2007
This review is from: The Worst Witch Collection - Set 2 (DVD)
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.

the worst witch, April 8, 2002
The worst witch is the best tv show ive seen in years. That great acting of kate duchene's constance hardbroom brings her tall body of 5'10 and of her scary looking face & black tight dress that of a nice purple night gown. Kate looks like a baby when her hair is down she looks less scary then when it's up . It's a good show for kids & teenagers I've seen.
