Maybe you’ve read all of the Harry Potter books and watched every episode of Charmed or Bewitched‚ so you think you know what witches are all about. Modern witches don’t exactly fit most of the TV and movie characters you’ve seen‚ however. Are they good? Are they evil? Do they cast spells to cause bad things to happen?

A Single Smile Dagmawi Demess There are some people who can pirouette six times in a row without falling over. There are some people who can recite every line of dialogue from the Harry Potter movies from memory. There are some people who can ace every single calculus test without studying at all.

Journey To The West 西游记 Growing up‚ we all had our favorite stories. My personal favorite was the Harry Potter series; I spent hours and hours immersed in those books.
