The Hottest Witches of All-TIME

By Peter Ha | March 1, 2010 | +

On this date 318 years ago, the Salem Witch trials began when Sarah Good, Sarah Osborne and Tituba, a slave from Barbados, were charged with witchcraft. By all accounts it appears the odds were against Good from the get go despite false accusations that were proven as such in court. But then again, Good did declare Minister Nicholas Noyes of being a wizard from the gallows. The “curse” went something like this, “You are a liar. I am no more a witch than you are a wizard, and if you take away my life God will give you blood to drink.” He died 25 years later from a brain hemorrhage that caused him to choke on his own lifeblood.

In honor of the Salem Witch trials, the Hive Mind has compiled 13 (spooky!) of the most eye-pleasing witches from Zatanna to Willow (Buffy!). Here they are in no particular order.

You Can Pre-order the Samsung Galaxy S III Now, but It’ll Cost You

It’s “friggin’ huge,” as my colleague Jared Newman recently quipped, and Samsung’s Galaxy S III is also going to be friggin’ expensive if you’re in the U.S. and want firsties. While the phone’s stateside launch date is still “early June,” Amazon has started taking pre-orders for the international version.

Windows Aero: Why I’m Glad It’s Dead

One of the last major vestiges of the unfortunate Windows Vista era is going away. Good!

dudes, Glinda? you have cheapened the very institution of the all-time hot witches list.

Dude, Circe? Also, Allie picked Glinda.

Circe — her beauty made pigs of men! Also her magic. But it was definitely part beauty.
Allie Townsend

“She was both beautiful and young to their eyes. Her hair was a rich red in color and fell in flowing ringlets over her shoulders. Her dress was pure white but her eyes were blue, and they looked kindly upon the little girl.”

Baum says she’s beautiful even if that unfortunate actress is not. So shut your yaps.

Seriously? No Sally and Ginny Owens (Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman) from Practical Magic?

Erm, that should be Gillian Owens…

Wowzers, a Practical Magic reference, I can’t top that. I’d just like to cast a vote for that chick from Witchblade. I seem to remember her being a cop or something and not exactly a witch, but the word ‘witch’ is right there in the title so it seems like she should count.

Side note: I’m not sure Tilda Swinton qualifies so much as “hot,” more like “ashen and vaguely androgynous”

If you’re set on Glinda, there ARE more attractive versions. Such as Kristen Chenoweth.

Don’t forget emerald-eyed, red-haired Sally Canfield. She is not in pictures yet but descriptively she’s the hottest of the period when Montooth and the Canfield Witch takes place (Fifties).

What about Cher in “The Witches of Eastwick”?. Or Sara Jessica Parker in “Hocus Pocus”. And the evil french witch Isobel Theroux/Lana Lang (Kristin Kreuk) in Smallville.

How can Michelle Pfeifer in “Stardust” not be on this list? She’s absolutely beautiful in that movie! :-)
tommybieg

I can’t believe there is no mention of Bell,Book and Candle’s Kim Novack as Gil. She is one of the sexiest witces ever. If you haven’t seen this classic with Jimmy Stewart, Jack Lemmon, Ernie Kovacks.
DO IT

Wait, you’re arguing over Glinda, but no one’s questioning Sabrina? She registers on the ‘cute’ scale, but not really on the ‘hot’ scale.

And yeah, Michelle Pfeifer in Stardust – the woman is beautiful.

What, no love for Morrigan? Isn’t DA:O kind of a big deal?

Actually, Tituba was a Native American woman and was never really tried for anything. The Crucible is a work of historical fiction, and not entirely accurate.
