The Worst Witch | Cast a spell IRL! | CBBC
Here is the Behind the Scenes of The Worst Witch, based on the popular children book series by author Jill Murphy. The main character is Mildred Hubble, a young witch who attends Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches, a school of magic. Although well-intentioned, Mildred's clumsy personality leads the girl to disastrous situations, and she is thus considered the worst student in the school. The benevolent headmistress, Miss Cackle (Clare Higgins), is generally understanding, whereas Mildred's form teacher Miss Hardbroom (Raquel Cassidy) thinks she just isn't trying hard enough. Mildred's friends include Maud Spellbody (Meibh Campbell/Megan Hughes), a rotund, sensible girl who is always trying to avoid confusion, and Enid Nightshade (Tamara Smart), a practical joker who is more likely than Mildred to get them all into trouble. The three girls have a strong rivalry with Ethel Hallow (Jenny Richardson), a high-born, snobbish and vindictive classmate. Mildred was portrayed in the first three seasons by Game of Thrones star Bella Ramsey, until she was replaced by newcomer Lydia Page, after Bella left the show to focus on her mental health.The fourth series began airing on CBBC on January 27th, 2020. Then Netflix released the fourth series on October 1st, 2020.
