Directed by: Anne Fletcher
Starring: Sarah Jessica Parker, Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy
Factual error: In one scene, Winifred asks Gilbert who Trask is and Gilbert replies that Trask is the "mayor", to which Winifred just acknowledges. However, the office of mayor was not created in Massachusetts until 1823, which is 130 years after they were hanged, so given the witch's lack of knowledge of the modern day, she would have likely not known what Gilbert meant.
Plot hole: The incantation for Magicae Maxima must be repeated 7 times without making a mistake, or they have to start over. Winnie says the spell wrong but the spell works anyways. The first time she says it (with Book), Winnie says "From North, the East, the South, the West," but the last time she says it (without Book), she says "From North, South, East and West" (not in the right order).
Mary Sanderson: Boo.
Trivia: Originally, Adam Shankman was attached to direct, but ended up getting attached to another Disney sequel, "Disenchanted," so he gave up the director's chair. Anne Fletcher was then selected to replace him. Ironically, Fletcher had previously been attached to direct "Disenchanted" about ten years prior, but left after production stalled. Both movies are finally coming out in 2022 as Disney+ originals.
