10 Witches We’d Love (or Hate) To See ‘Hansel & Gretel’ Fight
by Andrew Dyce
(11 of 10)
They haunted our childhood with their nose warts and evil cackles, but as we aged, the fear of the most famous witches from TV and movies never left us. Sure, we realize now that the makeup and cobwebs were more set dressing than actual horror, but those psychological scars aren't going anywhere.
Now a pair of champions - Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters - arrive in theaters, with Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton as the fairy tale tykes all grown up. But one question remains: which witches will they be hunting?
With that in mind, we've named the fictional witches we most hope to see the siblings unleash bullet and bolt upon; as well as those we dearly hope haven't made their hit list. See if your own tormenters can be found on our list of 10 Witches We'd Love (or Hate) To See Hansel & Gretel Fight.

This is out in some markets. Any word on its quality yet?
1 review on RT by roger moore says it tries to be like brothers grimm but ends up like an overly bloody f-bomb using van helsing
Roger Moore as in the Bond actor?
Bellatrix, how we miss thee.
She was probably the best acted character in the Potter movies, she was so evil she was pretty damn attractive. Put a spell on me anytime Bella.
I’d love to see Hansel & Gretel also go up against Delores Umbridge, since I always hated her more than Bellatrix.
How come you forgot about the likes of Yukari Sendo or Ruby Tojo from Rosario + Vampire on the half of the list in terms of the “Hating to see get targeted by the siblings” side of the list?
Its understandable why Hermione of the Potter-world or Willow from Buffy got in the list, even to head it, but why did you forget the two Witches I’d not above?
What about the Witches from Madoka Magica and where would they stand in regards like these?
I-No from Guilty Gear as one of the targets for the duo to hunt down would make a lot of sense, one of the questions to ask is this:
Does the Duo have it in them to pull it off successfully without getting killed many times over?
These questions and more are in need of answers if anything, and these are at the top of my head.
You are a nerd. And not in a good way.
I…..
*tries to think of a non-insulting response*
I think the article is trying to list witches that most people have actually heard of.
You need to get out more. *facepalm*
I sort of agree but in a way, I also don’t because that’s not very nice to insult the guy/girl like that.
I do apologize for that inconsiderate comment. I wanted to erase it but couldn’t. Even though I did find Commander’s comments quite nerdy and with references that aren’t well known to majority of us, I shouldn’t have posted such insensitive reply. I’m sure he didn’t ask for my input, so Sorry again.
Kudos to you for the maturity to admit the mistake and apologize for it.
Who are these no-name witches? I thought I was about as nerdy as they came, but you’ve taken it to another level. I don’t know if I should thank you or feel offended.
Outside of Japan, at least in the United States, much of anime people know of is only that which is shown on television, and even then most probably still wouldn’t have much recognition of it. Granted there is a fanbase that might have recognition of the characters you mention, I do believe that most would not. As for myself, I only recognize the titles of one of the shows you speak of. Guilty Gear (I know it’s a game) could also be considered obscure for anyone outside of the anime fanbase, it being notable in the fanbase for possessing anime style graphics.
Still, people don’t have a right to dub you a nerd or insult you for having an interest in something as semi-obscure (in the US at least) as anime.
the chicks from the craft, especially that cray-cray b**tch Nancy.
I’d like to see them go up against the Sanderson sisters from “Hocus Pocus” or the girls from Charmed.
Lets not forget about the witches from True Blood
“…..[trees rustling]……[twig snap]………”
Haha I love how that’s the only quote for the Blair Witch. Hopefully Hansel and Gretel turns out well!
Bellatrix and The White Witch would wipe the floor with them, if they could cooperate with each other long enough. Hermione and Sabrina would get their asses handed to them.
In any case, just from the trailers alone, this film already looks horrible. This decade’s “Van Helsing”. Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton aren’t the greatest of actors, the story seems lackluster and without substance, and who is Tommy Wirkola? Has he directed anything notable? Also, produced by Will Ferrel? That doesn’t give me much hope. He’s great…sometimes (love him in Stranger than Fiction). Not even the inclusion of Famke Jannsen can make this film seem like it would be good. Nevertheless, I will still watch, just so I can make a proper, fully informed conclusion.
See, I liked Van Helsing and I like Will Ferrell too so those alone would make me consider watching.
The fact I’m saving my movie going experience for Iron Man 3 however takes away from that.
I agree with your jermey renner statement, he does good in some roles. But he is nothing special kinda like colin farrel
You got it right about Colin Farrell.
Have to say the Sanderson Sisters from Hocus Pocus.
Hocus Pocus was the first thing that popped into my head when i read the title. And after going through it i’m a little surprised it wasnt on the list. It seemed you were scrapping the barrel a little adding Hermione and Sabrina to the list.
Also…
Naomie Harris from the “Pirates of the Caribbean” series
Usela from “The Little Mermaid” (or any Disney witches for that matter)
Willow (my friend is telling me there are a few witches in that film, i never actually saw it)
and
Witch Hazel from “Looney Tunes”
Didn’t the Sanderson Sisters get defeated by some children while all the adults were held in captivation by a spell?
Wasn’t the Wicked Witch of the West defeated by a bucket of water?
Yes, and also The White Witch by children, though they had help.
SHE WASN’T BEATEN BY CHILDREN THE WHITE WITCH WAS MAULED BY ASLAN AN HAD HE FACE RIPPED OFF.
Anybody remember Miss Switch, the conservative cartoon substitute teacher voiced by Janet Waldo? Secretly a witch? She’d probably get crossbowed by these two but it would be very sad.
No contest: Endora would send the hunters to a gogo bar on Neptune.
“…..[trees rustling]……[twig snap]………” lol
I half-expected to see Witch Hazel in this list.
The Charmed ones vs Hansel and Gretel. Yeah, I said it.
Which was already said.
Samantha would simply send them both away to somewhere very cold and uncomfortable, she is far to powerful for anyone other than a stronger witch.
Melisandre from Game of Thrones, anyone?
