An excerpt from an interview with Georgina Sherrington where she discusses her time on the set of "The Worst Witch." Here, she talks about her adult co-stars and shares a funny story about Kate Duchêne's audition for Miss Hardbroom.

You can watch the full interview on Youtube here or watch her in Stop/Eject.

Severus Snape And Constance Hardbroom Are Twin Flames. But They Do Differ In Various Ways:

-Snape is an INTJ while Hardbroom is an ISTJ.

-In comparison to Hardbroom, Snape seems a lot less incline to follow rules/tradition. This could be emphasized with their hair; Constance's long, dark hair is condensed in an extremely tight, neat bun (possibly tighter than McGonagall's). Severus's greasy, long, black hair would out and almost wild, itself.

-Snape has more of a sweet-tooth (*cough* *cough* Holiday Blancmange *cough* *cough*) along with being a jazz man judging by "Cauldron Full Of Hot, Strong Love". With Hardbroom, she mostly finds herself too disciplined to succumb to sweets. As for music, she often leans more towards traditional chants. That being said, Snape, himself, may be into that music genre too as "In Noctem" is another of his favorites.

-While Snape does care for the well-being for his students (notice how he'd be the first to show up in the incidents in "Chamber Of Secrets"), we all know he would be better off doing something else other than teaching. With Hardbroom , it can be argued that she always wanted to teach and does care for the education and well-being of her students.

-It is true Hardbroom favors Ethel Hallow while Snape favors Draco Malfoy. Yet, Constance favored Ethel not (just) out of classism but mostly due to Ethel being a prestigious student. And, to Hardbroom's credit, she would punish Ethel when she finds the Hallow girl has done something wrong. Snape would let Draco and the Slytherins get away with murder.

-While stoice, Constance is often more prone to expressing herself a lot more than Severus does. When Hardbroom's angry, she mostly yells. When Snape's angry, it's more (what TVTropes calls) "Tranquil Fury". Still not sure which is worse...

-While Constance is often critical of Mildred Hubble, she doesn't hate her; she just wishes for Mildred to not be...Mildred. As for Snape, he HATES Harry Potter for the "sin" of being James Potter's kid. But, at the end of his life, Snape may have grown to...care...for the boy due to finally seeing that Harry's also being Lily's son.

-While we don't really know Constance's childhood (did Kate Duchene ever say anything about that in her interviews?), it's implied that her "road to villiany" was due to being tutores under Heketty Broomhead during college. With Severus, his "road to villiany" was due to an abusive dad, a negligent mother, a band of bullies, teachers who barely took action against either the bullying or domestic abuse, losing the one true friend he had due to his own mistakes, and taking part (and abandoning) a terrorist wizarding group.

-While Constance doesn't shy away from dark green as seen in her Halloween attires, she seems more incline with purple/lavender judging by her pajamas. As for Snape, you could say his second favorite color is the Slytherin green.

-To Alan Rickman's dismay, poor Snape basicallly wore the exact same wardrobe throughout the films. With Constance, the woman's a low-key fashionista! Wearing so many kinds of black dresses and pajamas!

-Speaking of meta, while (according to Georgina Sherrington) small children were afraid of Kate Duchene's Hardbroom, it was almost the opposite with Rickman's Snape as costars like Evanna Lynch would recall a happy Rickman-in costume-being around cheerful kids. Ironic as Snape's technicallly the more...deadliest...out of him and Hardbroom.

a fave scene from the original Worst Witch series

“I only know one tune, Mildred Hubble, and I can’t dance to any other.” 

[alverixorcustransfrogamorphus]

I have a MIGHTY NEED for a scene similar to this one in the 2017 series.

my first gifset, so I hope it’s alright!

Some pics from The Worst Witch S1 E7 ‘Miss Cackle's Birthday Surprise’

After Millie and Enid escaped the cupboard Ethel locked them in (and also having to preform a sudden unexpected air display introduced by Maud on one broomstick!) Mildred, Maud and Enid enjoy some cake after Miss Cackle’s birthday party,

Miss Hardbroom appears and congratulates Maud on the ‘ surprise’ seeing as it saved them from “A fate worse then death”

Millie finds out she’ll be going on the school trip.

"Ethel Hallow was the form sneak" (A Bad Spell for the Worst Witch book) is one of the nicest ways I've ever heard anyone say "she was a bitch."

TWW S4 E3 (Contains Spoilers)

So it looks like the writers are giving us what I ordered last decade in my s4 wish list (Miss Drill backstory--what I mean by this is that they’ve hinted at some sort of childhood drama between Miss Drill and the new teacher, kind of reminiscent of Pippa and Hecate). They also almost gave us Hecate becoming a parent! But then in the end she did the same thing that Indie’s bio mum did? Gave her up blindly and hoped for the best? Like did she think to ask her? I know Indie already told her that she wished she had never been a witch, but still, I feel like Hecate should have given her the choice, though it’s definitely not in her personality too. Idk if the tww writers read fanfic but it already feels like we’ve had some subtle references to some of the fanfic out there this season. 

My question is where was Indie this summer? Did she go home with Mildred? Stay at the school? I guess now we’ll never know? A little detail, I guess, but I had envisioned Miss Hardbroom taking care of her over the summer. Maybe the writers felt that would have made the ending of this episode too sad. 

Also what’s up with The Great Wizard just being able to randomly grant parental rights? No court case at all? Just, oh, I like you, I’m sure you’ll do fine?!??

(AND HECATE WENT TO THE ARCTIC CIRCLE FOR INDIE!!) worst part is Indie never knew Hecate wanted to adopt her. But if she did she might have--might--have wanted to stay I guess. 

In the end, Indigo got back the years she lost, and she even got to see the school that had been erased from her memories, but what about Hecate? She lost those 30 years of her life. 

As a side note Lydia Paige is doing a fantastic job of playing Bella playing Mildred, and her voice occasionally sounds like Georgina Sherrington so although I was really upset over Bella’s departure at first I feel like her replacement is somehow bringing even more nostalgia to a show that is already incredibly nostalgic? 

I like that the rest of this season looks upbeat, and I’m already nerding out over the potion that makes Mildred an elegant speaker--love that they’re including that from the 98 version!
