Review:

I wonder if I was a kid would I have liked this more. In a Hat Full of Spells, Harold the vampire boy was dealing with nightmares every night. He kept dreaming that the witch Vermillion was back. His parents and their friends Professor and Mrs. Adams were all trying to help him deal with it but nothing would stop his nightmares.

Trouble started once witches' hats started to appear around town, although all the witches had been destroyed their magic was still tied to their hats. Anyone who puts on one would end up casting the last spell attached to the hat. And the problem got worse when Mrs. Adams got one of the hats stuck on her head. Now it was up to all them to try to stop the chaos from all the wayward magic before it's too late.

The story was okay, I thought it was a little confusing at first because from looking at the artwork it was hard to understand what was going on. I guess this just wasn't for me, I didn't find it to be that interesting.
