The Identity of the Witch From the Opening of Hocus Pocus 2 Explained

There isn’t too much information that we know at this time about who precisely this witch is, as she only makes a full appearance in the opening of the movie. We do, however, still know a few things about her; for instance, she is older than the Sanderson Sisters, as she is the one that bestowed Book and magic upon the trio. The Witch also states to the girls that she had a coven of sisters, but unfortunately for us, doesn’t reveal why they are no longer around.

Something else worth mentioning is that the Witch has the ability to turn into a crow, as she is seen doing when she first attacks the sisters, before realizing that they are special. This is important because the very same crow design is seen in the film’s final moments, which seemingly confirms that the Witch has been able to stay alive for centuries and has been watching over the movie’s events. What exactly this means is unknown, but there is reason to believe that it is setting up a potential Hocus Pocus 3.

That is everything you need to know about the Witch from the opening of Hocus Pocus 2. For more coverage on the Hocus Pocus sequel, keep an eye on Twinfinite, with even some coverage included below.
