List of The Worst Witch characters
Mildred Hubble is the titular character of "The Worst Witch" series. Unlike the other girls at Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches, she doesn't come from a regular witch family, but was given a scholarship which greatly impressed Miss Cackle. She is best friends with Maud Spellbody and Enid Nightshade. In "The Worst Witch", although inadvertently ruining a broomstick formation flying display when she was given a sabotaged broomstick, she saves the whole academy from Miss Cackle's jealous and rebel-ish identical twin sister Agatha Cackle, who was seeking to turn all the teachers and pupils into frogs. In the nick of time, Mildred turns Agatha and the rest of her fiendish coven into snails.
List of minor The Worst Witch characters
Dawn and Gloria are two other students at Cackle'a Academy in the same year as Mildred. The two make only a brief appearance at the end of the first book when they go into Mildred's room with Maud Moonshine to tell Mildred the good news about the school being given a holiday after Mildred saved them from Agatha Cackle. Harriet makes no appearance but it is mentioned by Maud that she was the one whom Ethel had told about her plot to sabotage Mildred's role in the broomstick display, Harriet subsequently telling everyone else in Form One. In the TV series, Dawn Raven, Hariett Goodcharm and Gloria Newt are new in the TV series and the new students were Bryony Besomsworth and Tansy Weirdstone.
