- The Witch (2016) Director: Robert Eggers. From its first moments, The Witch strands us in a hostile land. We watch (because that’s all we can do, helplessly) as puritan patriarch William (Ralph Ineson) argues stubbornly with a small council, thereby causing his family’s banishment from their “New England” community.

- Davina Claire — The Originals. The Originals is chock-full of powerful witches. This New Orleans-based drama showcases a legion of witches trying (and often succeeding) to put an end to the Mikaelson family's vampiric reign.
- Glinda — The Wizard of Oz. It’d be difficult to talk about iconic witches without mentioning those present in The Wizard of Oz. Most people are familiar with the tale of Dorothy, a young girl traveling down the yellow brick road and befriending an eclectic group.
