Who Are the Sanderson Sisters in Hocus Pocus 2? Answered

The Sanderson Sisters make a return in Hocus Pocus 2, along with their powerful abilities and skills in witchcraft. It takes place nearly 30 years after their last attempt at luring children to their doom, and now they’re more determined than ever to finish the job. If you’re new to the franchise, you’re probably wondering: who are the Sanderson Sisters in Hocus Pocus 2? We’ve got you covered.

The Sanderson Sisters in Hocus Pocus 2

Winifred Sanderson

The eldest of the Sanderson Sisters in Hocus Pocus 2 is Winifred (played by Bette Midler), the de facto leader amongst her siblings and arguably the most dangerous. Picking her out from her siblings is easy: Winnie possesses bright red hair and buck teeth.

Though her sisters have their own strengths, Winifred’s mastery over the Manual of Witchcraft and Alchemy, coupled with her intelligence, is what puts her leagues ahead of her siblings. For that, the other Sanderson sisters look to her for guidance.

Mary Sanderson

Despite her goofy appearance, Mary Sanderson (played by Kathy Najimy) isn’t a witch you’d want to cross paths with. She’s nearly as intelligent as her older sister, Winifred, and puts it to good use by combining it with her sense of smell, which she uses to sniff out potential victims such as children.

As evil as eating children is, Mary Sanderson isn’t without feelings; in fact, she’s got quite the soft spot for her sisters, especially Winifred, whom she loves to please. Mary’s more than happy to comfort her sisters when times are tough.

Sarah Sanderson

The youngest Sanderson Sister, and considered the most beautiful, is Sarah Sanderson (played by Sarah Jessica Parker). Most men would feel lucky to catch her eye, but soon find out their fate is sealed.

Sarah is very promiscuous, in addition to being quite the deviant. She has no qualms over using her natural beauty and hypnotic voice to send men to their doom, though one of the exceptions was Billy Butcherson, an ex-boyfriend of Winifred’s.

There you have it: who the Sanderson Sisters are in Hocus Pocus 2. Even one of the sisters being alive should cause panic, due to their mastery over witchcraft and magic. For more on Hocus Pocus 2, get the scoop on who Becca and Izzy are in the movie.
