The "New Worst Witch" is a popular children's book series written by Jill Murphy. It is a spin-off from the original "Worst Witch" series and follows the misadventures of Mildred Hubble's niece, Enid Nightshade, as she attends Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches. The series introduces a new generation of witches and wizards, including Enid's friends and classmates like Tanya, Maude, and Emily. The main idea in "New Worst Witch" is the humorous and often clumsy antics of Enid as she navigates her way through life at Miss Cackle's Academy. Enid is known for her often disastrous attempts at magic, causing chaos and trouble wherever she goes. This creates a contrast to her studious and accomplished cousin Mildred, who was the central character in the original series.
Cressie is going to fail her Broomstick Test. When she does, Hettie persuades Miss Cackle and Miss Hardbroom to let her try again. Mona and Hettie try to think of ways to inspire her confidence.
The New Worst Witch was initially planned to have a third season in 2007, however Alice Connor who played Henrietta Hubble in the series along with several other cast members decided not to sign onto the third season and thus was subsequently canceled the same year. It works for the most part in the first season, though by the second season the teachers seem to have caught on Miss Hardbroom in particular goes from treating Belladonna favorably in the first season to having absolutely no patience with her in the second.
This creates a contrast to her studious and accomplished cousin Mildred, who was the central character in the original series. Enid's journey is filled with friendship, challenges, and laugh-out-loud moments, making the "New Worst Witch" series a beloved read for children of all ages. As the series progresses, Enid learns valuable life lessons about teamwork, perseverance, and being true to oneself.

Reviews for "From Broomstick to Wand: Transformations in the New Worst Witch"
1. Emily - 2/5 stars - "I was a huge fan of the original Worst Witch series, so I was excited to give 'New Worst Witch' a try. However, I found it to be a disappointing reboot. The new characters lacked depth and the storyline felt rushed and predictable. The special effects were also lackluster compared to the original. Overall, I was left feeling nostalgic for the old series and wishing they had just continued with that instead."
2. Ben - 1/5 stars - "New Worst Witch is a complete letdown. The acting is subpar and the dialogue is cringe-worthy. The attempts at humor fall flat, and the plot is disjointed and confusing. It feels like a cheap knock-off of the original, with none of the charm or magic. I would not recommend wasting your time on this lackluster remake."
3. Samantha - 2/5 stars - "As a fan of the original Worst Witch, I was excited to see a new version. However, 'New Worst Witch' fell short of my expectations. The storyline felt repetitive and the new characters lacked the charisma of the original cast. It felt like a watered-down version that was trying too hard to be modern and trendy. I was left unimpressed and longing for the nostalgic magic of the original series."
4. Jake - 2.5/5 stars - "I found 'New Worst Witch' to be a mediocre attempt at reviving a beloved series. The execution felt forced and the new characters failed to capture the essence of the original cast. The plot was predictable and lacked the excitement and adventure of the original. While it was not terrible, it did not live up to the standards set by the previous series."
5. Melissa - 2/5 stars - "I was a big fan of the original Worst Witch, so I was excited to see a new adaptation. However, 'New Worst Witch' failed to captivate me. The storyline was lackluster and the new cast lacked the chemistry that made the original so enjoyable. The special effects were also disappointing, and it felt like a half-hearted attempt to cash in on the success of the original. Overall, I was left feeling underwhelmed and wishing they hadn't attempted a reboot."
