Hiatus Watch: The New Worst Witch

Happy Thursday!

I'm continuing with my challenge of watching all of The Worst Witch adaptations. I finished Weirdsister College which I really enjoyed, I wish there were more episodes especially with that ending. I like that Mildred Hubble as a college student was really growing into being an adult. Yeah, she still made mistakes but she was continuing to learn. Especially learning not to be a doormat. Meanwhile, Ethel Hallow was still a jerk but I guess she was starting to change near the end of the series. Not sure she can truly be a friend nor trusted since most of the time she only help Mildred when it benefited herself. It was interesting seeing Enid Nightshade make a guest appearance and overstay her welcome when she unexpectedly visited Mildred at college. You see how she changed her appearance (goth punk) but she still needed to learn to take responsibility for her actions, which I'm glad she eventually learned.

Anyway, so now I will move on to The New Worst Witch (2005) TV series. It's the second spinoff from The Worst Witch (1998) TV series with the first being Weirdsister College. The New Worst Witch only stayed on for two seasons as it follows Mildred's cousin Henrietta "Hettie" this time around at Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches. I'm sure Henrietta will probably end up causing just as much trouble (if not more) as her older cousin did. From the promo picture, I see Deirdre Swoop and I believe she is now a teacher at the Academy. It will be interesting to see her approach at teaching. I can't wait to start watching this series, I'll probably start watching it later today.

After I finish watching The New Worst Witch, I'll only have The Worst Witch movie (1986) left to watch. Anyone else watching or have watched all of The Worst Witch adaptations? Did you have a favorite?


The New Worst Witch

Description:

The New Worst Witch continues on from the 1998 The Worst Witch TV series which was based on books by Jill Murphy. This time, it's no longer Mildred 'Millie' Hubble but her cousin Henrietta 'Hettie' Hubble who is causing trouble at Cackles Academy.

Hiatus Watch: Weirdsister College

Now that I finished watching The Worst Witch (1998) TV series (which I really loved watching), I'm continuing with the spinoff Weirdsister College that follows Mildred Hubble attending Weirdsister College. Unfortunately, the show only stayed on for one season which consist of only 13 episodes but I'm still looking forward to watching it. From the trailer, I see that Ethel Hallow is also there and I'm sure she's going to be just as mean and horrible to Mildred as she was in The Worst Witch, I'll be surprised if she's not. I also see Miss Hardbroom but it looks like it's probably just a cameo appearance. This should be a fun watch.

I can't believe this hiatus is turning into The Worst Witch summer especially if I continue watching all the adaptations. I have two more left to watch: The Worst Witch movie (1986) and The New Worst Witch (2005) TV series. So, what have you been watching during this hiatus?
