Worst Witch Battle of the Broomsticks S1 E1 Part 1

[xJuicyCouture89]

-lated to Harry potter. There was books e.t.c about wizards/ witches before Harry potter.

[xJuicyCouture89]

This is not even re

[MargeSimpson20]

Ethel actually reminds me of myself when I was put in a special school...it's kind of hard to explain,but the rivalry between her and Mildred was like me and this other girl.I also had a friend who was a grumpy redhead like Drusilla,lol.

[principessa2892]

omg i remember watching this when i was little! :)

[laurapalbom]

6:35 .... moaning myrtle?

[CJLOVESRIVER]

@laurapalbom what r u talking about moaning myrtle is harry potter

[laurapalbom]

@CJLOVESRIVER She's in both series. This show is like a prequel to Harry Potter. Before Myrtle transferred to Hogwarts and got killed by the Basilisk and became a ghost. 

[AmbiiJay10]

@laurapalbom This tv show was a good amount of time before Harry Potter. I highly doubt they even thought of Harry when making The worst witch

[TheArtObsessed]

@laurapalbom

thats Emma Brown

Shirley Henderson played moaning myrtle

they are 2 different ppl

[tony056]

the 2 girls in the beginning showing mildred into her room remind me of the twins. lol

[philee2020]

if i went to that school and Ms. Hardbroom opened my room door at night, I'd throw the fucking lamp right at her face... stupid bitch -__-

[TessiaIRWIN]

Rowling is copycat

[XxxAnarchyAshleyxxX]

I remember this :D <3

[KunstgroepNelevzw]

I remember that I watched this over and over again 6 years ago. It suddenly bumped in my head and I had to find this program and know I'm addicted again.

[karicom333]

Dude! harry potter is SO based off of this! Hardbroom = snape. ethel = draco. headmistress= dubledore! etc.

[karicom333]

YES! thanx so much for posting!

[ItsCaroParker]

LOL Ruby is like Dean Thomas

[tpay1272]

This is based on a series of children's novels written by Jill Murphy in 1974, just some trivia for ya :)

[vickyg690]

i feel that she`s so much like my dear minerva mcgonagal

[smudgers42]

Does she say, when she's crashing into the bins, 'Maud help me' ?

[KizuRai]

I never realized how similar this was to Harry Potter until I finally got off my lazy butt and searched for the name of this show (for some reason I thought it was called Mildred Hubble)

To be honest I found this show much more heartwarming than Harry Potter haha

[022mv]

Is it only me or did anyone else spot Algernon Rowan-Webb towards the beginning at 0:40 ? That may be the evidence that he saw Mildred Hubble as early as during her first day of the school.

[parfumfashion]

i rememeber this episode!!!!! hahaha gosh how much i miss this show and my childhood days ughhh the 90's was the BEST!!!!!! and early 2000's

[chickidee97]

Ethel is so much like Draco Malfoy

[LadyKatherinHellsing]

Oh! The worst wich make me remembered my infance!!! *-*

[maleekmonroe1]

oh i get it its like harry potter but with lesbians :)

[Nessarose825]

The Worst Witch: 1974

Harry Potter:1997

And people say this is the rip off!

[milypou]

@Nessarose825 The worst witch was made in 1998 !!

[Nessarose825]

@milypou I'm talking about the book

[Nessarose825]

@milypou I'm talking about the book

[NbdVideos]

Moonshine looks like moaning murtle from harry potter and the chamber of secrets to me :P

[vickyg690]

@NbdVideos you`re right cause it`s the same girl

[ParrallaxMedia]

this reminds me of harry potter but a hogwarts just for birds lol

[Timefliesbye]

Rowling! YOU PLAGIARIST!

I had stuck this show somewhere in my subconscious but now I remember. I really enjoyed this show. It was my favourite show when I was 6.

[roxyqueen2]

Oh, I remember this was when I was younger :)

[Purloin]

Before Harry Potter there was Mildred Hubble- The Worst Witch. *Gods I missed this show. I was like 5-6 when I saw this. in my 20s now*

[FrenchieLeToast]

Oh my god, I used to watch this all the time as a kid!!! I'm freaking out right now! Thank you so much for uploading!

[Tiny801]

god, i remember watching this as a kid!!!!!! <3

[Alan95Haitch]

I'd give anything to be a kid again...oh well...

[Cannibal600]

I remember reading the book by Jill Murphy when i was 10 years old 'im 26 now, and i've noticed over the years how much Harry Potter is a kind of copy of this, in my opinion anyway

[realsaraSKELLINGTON]

i miss this show!!!

[tomhulcelover]

OMG!! i used to love this show when i was young haha abc family all the way!!

[Kats987124]

I remember these from when i was younger ahhhh

[BLACKETHOUSE]

@xromanticxshadowx You are right, but you are thinking of the movie (the one with Tim Curry). For 'Northanger Abbey' fans this does feature a very young Felicity Jones as Ethel Hallow.

[moondustyperson]

omg, this randomly came into my head the other day when i was thinking about my cousin and how we watched this together... i couldnt remember the title of it until i phoned up my mom XP i guess she was surprised i was asking her this since im in college...

[Sucrahey]

Aww I used to watch this like crazy :)

[NathanJesseMcCarthy]

miss bat <3

[ComedyMaster007]

ehtel should have just said iv'e seen here

[knobylob]

MY CHILDHOOD

[HarvestStation]

6:30 That girl reminds me of Moaning Myrtle xD

[moondustyperson]

@HarvestStation omg thats so true hahahaha!... spot the harry potter characters time!

[xromanticxshadowx]

the main character was also in the craft. she looks nothing like she did as a kid. )she is the dark haired one that ends up institutionalized in the end of the craft)

[knobylob]

@xromanticxshadowx the girl who plays mildred? she isn't in the craft.

[xromanticxshadowx]

@knobylob look up her filmography....

The actress's name is Fairuza Balk, she played Mildred and in the craft she played Nancy! check it out before you disagree... thank you

[AllstarCanadian]

My forth grade teacher was like Miss Hardbroom

[sophiiee208]

god miss hardbroom and the head remind me of dumbledore and snape.

[LoveYamachan]

i used to watch this on weekends!

[matthewpeter]

god I haven't heard that theme tune for years!

[Ballet4Everz]

i gess none of them got accepted into hogwarts

[Trixxieheart]

@Ballet4Everz I always imagined the salem witches institute being Miss Cackle's ;)

[Arcadiac08]

i used to watch this on hbo



[bryan140140]

"form teacher, who will beeee, me"

shit

[slavesacrifice666]

i am getting goosebumps! i used to watch this all the time when i was little~ <3

[hannahmonlaza]

This was my favourite programme for years !! (: I love the theme music...so many good times with the Worst Witch :)

Thanks so much for uploading !

[YvaineProductions]

lmao miss Hardbroom is so like Professor Snape.

[AkumaNoTenshi2309]

@YvaineProductions Are they dating or married? Hmmm...?

[Ulvestorm]

Wow it's been so long since I watched this! The effects seemed so much better when I was little, haha, but still very nostalgic!

[wendctrl]

and the frizzy haired teacher looks a lot like professor trelawney

someone got her ideas from this show

[wendctrl]

the girl with glasses looks a lot like moaning myrtle.

[jspoor100]

08:20 lol

[jspoor100]

were Mildred and Ethel enemies beforehand or was it when Mille flicked the branch at her

[MargeSimpson20]

Mildred certainly has a creative sort of spark in her,doesn't she?Maybe she's the best witch after all.

[Sillilesshells]

i can't be the only one who pictured jk rowling watching this for sutble ideas xD. comon, i can see the harry potter resemblence :)

[DatalovesTasha]

2 people need detention with Miss Hardbroom!

[FeeFee97]

if i was locked out i would nock on the door

[eizhowa]

Mildred reminds me of Neville Longbottom.

[chikolocu]

@eizhowa And i suppose ethel is a mean version of hermione granger

[JackCannery]

@eizhowa You mean Neville Longbottom reminds you of Mildred hurhur

[a2ilool]

used to watch this everyday after school on nickolden

[justintime2989]

@a2ilool you sure it was nick, since i remember this being hbo and one reason had loved hbo so much

[a2ilool]

@justintime2989 it was nickolden and CITV that brodcast this in the UK

[kiwiifruiit]

memories.. when i have kids im going to buy all the series for her (:

[dalivsta]

I used to wear my hair in the different characters styles for different days- pony tail for Ethel, plaits for Milly, Plait for Enid, bunches for Maud! was very obsessed! love this show- have watched every ep or all season and shows, read all the books. Thank you so much for uploading! x

[MargeSimpson20]

Sorry for being a nerd,but at 6:42,you can tell that Maud is really saying 'you mustn't go back to the first school,or you will see your alter ego and have nightmares forever'.

[MrChantelleA]

Omg, I remember this! Well, something just reminded me of it the other day, but I couldn't for the life of me remember what it was called. Thanks for uploading! Used to be my favourite show.

[CecilMuffin]

Wait my bad. There's a 70s version. But still just because two characters have similarities doesn't mean anything was copied.

[CecilMuffin]

Well Harry potter was actually written well before this would have been. So the character of snape would have been formed well before the lady in this show :)

[AnalieSkywind]

Bitch zapped her earphones.

[1NaturallyChanel]

Why does it feel like Harry Potter took ideas from this show? I mean the girl in black looks like a female version of snape.

[MissRooziii]

I wish i could go to that school too =(

[crouchingtiger1000]

@MissRooziii but then you would have to have there uniform

[MsBondiRescue]

Heartbroom sounds like one of my teachers .

[WellDressedDanielle]

@MsBondiRescue hardbroom :)

[Aliciajoy96]

i wish this show was on television still.

Put it back on!

[MultiDisneyfreak]

i think i found Snaps wife

[Spikeskitten]

The girl who plays Mildred and the girl who plays Ethel, they both look really familar.

[sunnysideup703]

awww the first worst witch episode.



[MargeSimpson20]

If Mildred expected Ethel to give her a lift,what was she supposed to do with her own broomstick?

[LiraelRyelle]

Miss Hardbroom looks like a dominatrix.

[drwho10companion]

This was the best series, Felicity Jones played the best Ethel Hallow, I never liked the new one.

[Skyebright1]

@drwho10companion agree. that felicity has reappeared in tv and in film.

[MoreThanFabolous]

Ethel was actually my favorite character :D

[eizhowa]

@MoreThanFabolous Ethel was my childhood hero:)

[wthigo]

So funny!

Maud: "I'll see you in the morning."

Goes to the door.

Maud: "I hope"

Mildred: "So do I!"

[Skyebright1]

@wthigo isn't this exciting! yes... (thinking this girl's bonkers)

[wthigo]

I don't know if any of you guys have seen the series The Legend of the Seeker, but Miss Hardbroom dresses like the Mord-Sith Cara! hahaha

[MISSYANN301]

i soo remember this show but i only remembered Mildred's name thats all

[seventydreams]

THIS IS THIS SHOW. i was thinking about my childhood and i remembered that i always used to dress up as a witch and pretend to ride on a flying broomstick and i knew it was because i'd seen something on tv. well this is it. thanks for the upload!!

[MegaNefesh]

@seventydreams OMG i did the same thing lol

[whocantsay]

Is the one with the glasses and bunches Moaning Mertal from Harry Potter?

[titanicpiano14]

Check out my organ rendition of the Worst Witch theme!

[QueenDeaconite]

Ooh look, Mrs Snape and Dumbledore. Deary me, quite a HP fan, but absolutely nothing in it is original. XD

[Ravencroft77]

@QueenDeaconite Worst Witch actually came first ;)

[QueenDeaconite]

@Ravencroft77 Yeah I know, that's what I meant, I like Harry Potter, but it's rather unoriginal.

[2010charliek]

@Ravencroft77 JK Rowling started HP in 1991 so actually her idea came first

[Meaju]

@2010charliek Err, no... The Worst Witch books were written in the 70's.

[Ravencroft77]

@2010charliek The Worst Witch started in 1974... by my math, that's before 1991.

[AliceTank]

@Ravencroft77 I've consulted various physicists and mathmathematicians and we've come to the conclusion that your math is, in fact, correct.

[Ravencroft77]

@AliceTank Haha, I'm glad you've been good about it. I hate it when people get into arguments on Youtube... Still, both HP and WW are very good.

[TheJessiebean]

@QueenDeaconite

Well since this was written decades before Harry Potter, its VERY original actually....

[QueenDeaconite]

@TheJessiebean ...For the second time, it was Harry Potter I was saying was unoriginal, not the Worst Witch.

[xoxIsabellaAUSxox]

Miss HardBroom is just like Snape

[JalexNSemmaLuver]

lol



[TheMoonPower]

Harry Potter ripped this series off so much.

[FlyteWizard]

@TheMoonPower Not really, yes there is no originality... but ideas have to come from somewhere... sp really everything is a rip off of the first legends.

[LagBoy86]

i would like to be a victim of Hardbroom's Dungeon. WHIP!

[rachelfrench1992]

I remember when I was 10, I dressed up as Mildred Hubble for a Hallowe'en competition in Brownies, and I won! Lol. Naturally, I fell down the stairs afterward, making up for the chaaracter.

[copyplanter]

It's horrible to be late the first school day

[98slbrookes98]

Thanks so much for this episode. Do you have the one where Ethel turns Milly into a frog?

[cosmiceclaire]

AWW This brings back so many memories. thanks for uplaoding it :)

[kisslordorochimaru]

I love this show, I used to watch it all the time,when I was a kid.I missed it sooo much when they took it off tv.I'm really happy I can watch it again..cause it bring's back memorie's.

[CiaraR099]

I love this programe :D x

[verzkygem]

i remember watching this one when i was yet in grade school.. now im a sophomore in college.. ;) time flies so fast

[Agaotaku]

@verzkygem ask me that lol! I don't want to be old :"(

[Twilightfey]

This was one of my first introductions to witches. *giggles* When I first started rping Harry Potter, I always said that my character transferred from Cackle's Academy.

[mistressmystery022]

Does one? what a bitch...

[chenjunyang]

even drusilla sighed when hb said she's be their form tutor lol

[Anabana21yeh]

aaww i loved this! The books were amazing too! I think I reconise Ethel aswel she was in a Jane Austen movie!

[Skyebright1]

@Anabana21yeh oui, northanger abbey, she was also in brideshead revisited, the doctor who episode the unicorn and the wasp and cheri! big fan.

[CrunkKitty1]

When I was a kid I used to want to have HB's attitude when I grew up. LOL.

[attichamster]

HB = dominatrix, anyone??? :DD

[0Brilwen0]

The worst witch has been out since I was a kid and I'm almost thirty, i've always loved Mildred maybe that's what I liked about Harry Potter, it reminds me of a darker version of the worst witch.

[SheepNorway]

@0Brilwen0 Yeah, I used to watch this when I was smaller, and i'm 17 ^^ BIG Harry Potter-fan :)

[elmay22]

how can i forget Mildred Hubble. beeeen 8 years since i last saw this. love this show. oh yeah, this was was before harry potter came out.

[lfcqueen123]

for all those harry potter fans slating the worst witch because of so called copyright, there are so many writers and directors with different views on the magical world and how it would be seen as, like sabrina the teenage witch, totally different but they all share some views which are simaler.

[bedazzledcandybar]

@lfcqueen123 How in the name of Millie can people say that the worst witch is copied from Harry Potter? The worst witch came first! I like both though plus Sabrina!

[BlueLightning8769]

Hey look! Mildreds best friend is Moaning Mertyl! Don't they look an awful lot alike?

[fulaabalaaba]

@BlueLightning8769 Yes they really do look similar. :)

[evilmoofin]

@BlueLightning8769 OMFG

[BlueLightning8769]

Um, what is up with ms. hardbrooms outfit? Leather? Uh?

[BlueLightning8769]

Wish they would've kept the original mildred hubble Fauriza Balk(??)

[smoothiesarah]

just because its the same subject of magic and schools doesn't mean its a rip-off. Otherwise every teenage/highschool movie should be considered a rip-off of each other then too, shouldn't it?

[rubisuperstar16]

I watched this like about 10 years ago or a bit more! I missed it! I'm crying. More than being a British series I really loved it. T_T

[beccawthebigdwarf]

I remember this from when I was like 10 haha! I loved it xD

[shaunette9]

haha poor Ruby

[MrCheuk2009]

thanks for sharing these episodes of the new worst witch. What happened to episode 3 'Rules, Rules, Rules' and episode 10 'The Bewitching of Mona Hallow' as I would like to see these two episodes on youtube. These two missing episodes were part of season 1. thank you.

[Adrianaofficial]

@MrCheuk2009 id say youtube deleted them as they do due to copyright infringement

[bedazzledcandybar]

@MrCheuk2009 Erm have you watched these? These aren't the new worst witch. This is the original series with Mildred. The new worst witch is on youtube though.

[patat50]

i watched this serie when i was young :P

[bobbiwib]

to people saying this is a ripoff of harry potter, me, my sister and my mum were saying the exact opposite when harry potter came out several years after i first read the worst witch

[CatarinaPBatista]

Thank you (: i was desperate to find this !

[CatarinaPBatista]

I've been looking for this for so Long

[gothtart13]

i used to watch this when i was a little kid....thanks for posting my childhood on here!!!! love it!

[Metroloeb]

OMFG I REMEMBER THIS SHOW!!!

I used to always watch it <3333

[iwojima119]

I miss the Tagalog-dubbed version of WORST WITCH, that's way back 2001. Im just 14 years old that time :D

[rorolilred]

Aww this reminds me of my old school! Minus the flying (unfortunately).

[Sotkai11]

I loved this series when i was little, and i know that they turned it into a movie, but i had no idea that they turned it into a tv show!

[favm360]

I remember practically running at 3 o'clock after school just to get home and watch the epsiode. Nowadays tv sucks, the 90s were the best years.
