“Witchy, wistful, and wrapped in moonlight. Can’t wait!” “If the Owens women don’t dance under the stars again, I’m out.” “Give us more spells, more aunts, more midnight margaritas!”
Final VerdictPractical Magic 2 has all the ingredients of a satisfying sequel — legacy cast, a richer world from the novels, and a director known for emotional storytelling. If it can balance nostalgia with new enchantment, and avoid the trap of overloading the cauldron with new faces, this could be a witchy wonder that casts a spell on longtime fans and new viewers alike.
If you believe in magic, you’ll want to see where this story ends.
