Original subtitles

- Are you crazy, this is spring,

it's not the season for pine cones.

- Hocus pocus, egg of toad,

to me white cloud now quickly float.

Draw together open up, hunus, punus, fill our cup.

- Clothespins, eh, okay.

- Not what I meant.

- Why not make it rain something yummy instead, breadcrumbs?

Oh, raisins.

- I just don't get it, an ordinary rain spell

shouldn't be this tricky.

All right, I'll try again.

- And I shall take cover.

- Hocus pocus large in size, to me white cloud

now quickly rise, draw together I shall offer,

uh, legal-a-loggoly, make the ground softer.

- What are you, a magpie?

Shiny spoons, woo-hoo-hoo.

Oh dear, help me.

- At least a ladle's kind of practical.

- I'd much prefer a woolen cap, thank you.

- I wanna go inside now.

- What's the matter?

- Nothing.

- You're upset about tonight's Walpurgis dance, aren't you?

You weren't invited to Brocken Mountain

again this year and your feelings are hurt.

Well you do realize that they have very strict rules.

Walpurgis night is only for the big witches.

At 127, you're still considered a little witch.

- 127 years, two months, and 22 days.

It's just not fair, I wanna dance on Brocken Mountain too.

- They'll invite you some day I'm sure of it, be patient.

- What if I just flew up there in secret?

If they've already started dancing

they wouldn't even notice me.

- That's a horrible idea, what if they catch you?

They may ban you, and you'll never go, and then what?

- Do you think they would?

- Walpurgis night sounds like a lot of fun,

if you have an invitation, that is.

I don't advise taking the risk.

Please be patient, there's always the possibility

that you'll be invited to join next year,

or the year after that.

- Be patient, but for how long?

- Move it you .

- Thomas, wait up.

- It's Walpurgis night you know.

- Let the witches dance, they don't scare me.

How can you tell if someone's a witch?

- Well, they're really old and really ugly,

and they just look wicked.

- Have you ever seen a witch?

- Of course not, and if I'm lucky,

I'll never see one either.

- Sh, sh, sh, sh, sh.

- Rock candy.

- We celebrate Walpurgis night,

every witch's pure delight,

many here shall be inspired,

to spin around the witches' fire.

Sing and dance and act all right,

this is our Walpurgis night.

- Hello, Aunt Rumpumpel.

- So you want to dance here with us, do you?

- I'd love to.

- You know, little witches like you are forbidden

from coming here tonight under any circumstances.

- Yes, I know, but if you don't tell,

it can just be our secret.

- It seems we have a visitor.

Whoa.

- Who? - Who is that?

- It's my little niece.

287 times removed, that is.

- I've never seen her.

- How old is she, anyway?

- 127 years, two months, and 22 days.

- So young!

- 127 years, you say?

How dare you show your face here tonight.

A witch of your young age is explicitly forbidden

from dancing on Walpurgis night.

- I'm sorry but, I was so curious, I just had to

jump on my broom and fly over.

- She just had too.

- Is she serious?

- Hop on your broom and fly back home Little Witch

before I get mean.

- But I--

- No buts, and don't let me catch you here again.

- And, what about next year, can I come back then?

- What?

- Hm, well if you work hard and become a good witch,

then I'll consider it.

- Really?

- Perhaps.

- Then I shall become a good witch, I promise.

- It will never work, just take one look at her.

- She's far too thin, she smells far too good, uh?

- How small she is, way too small.

- And she's stupid as well.

- I'm not stupid,

I'll be as good a witch as any of you.

- Whoa! - We shall see about that!

In one year, on the night before Walpurgis,

I shall assemble a council of witches,

and we will put you to the test.

- Um. - Um-hm.

- We will then find out if you have what it takes

to be a truly great witch, you agree?

- Mm-hm.

- And if you should fail, well, you'll be banned

from celebrating Walpurgis night forever.

- Yes, yes.

- The book.

- What's this?

- Hm, in this book, all the things good witches know awaits.

- Mm-hm.

- One year from now, you must show flawless mastery

of every last spell therein, if you wish to pass.

Do you understand?

- Yeah, sure do, I'll start studying tomorrow.

I'll be a good witch, I know I will.

I'll show you.

- Not so fast, a moment please.

Will she not be punished for this violation?

- We all know the rules, anyone who comes

to the witches' dance without an invitation

must be punished, that is true.

- Give her to me, I'll bury her up to her neck in mud.

- Let's make her lie in a bed of coals

for three days and three nights.

- Quiet!

Such venom and ire.

So, what should we say?

- Yes, I would suggest that we take away her witches broom.

That means she'll be forced to walk three days and nights

step by step by torturous step just to get home.

- Very good, that's what we'll say.

- Give me your broom.

- But.

- Be gone, boo!

- I'd keep an eye on her through this,

she still has much to learn.

- Oh, can't forget the book, come on.

- Come on, where have you been?

What happened to you, where's your broom?

- The sparks were flying, and the drums were banging so loud

and the witches were dancing like crazy.

The bonfire was giant, Abraxas,

oh I wish you could've seen it.

- Mm-hm.

- I think I could've danced all night.

- But they caught you instead.

- Unfortunately, now I have to learn

that whole book as punishment.

- That's not a punishment,

it's the opportunity of a lifetime.

- How is it an opportunity?

7,892 spells of memorization is good how?

- It'll be hard work that's true, but if you want to be

a great witch, it'll take sacrifice.

- Yeah, so I'll work, every day for seven,

eight hours at least.

But first I'll get revenge, on Rumpumpel,

that ugly old thing.

- So, what's your plan?

- I'm gonna give her a big fat pig snout.

Some horns.

And a nice flowing goat's beard on her chin.

And on her gigantic behind, a big horses tail.

- None of this is true revenge.

- Oh?

- Since Rumpumpel is an older witch, she can dispel

all these small charms without even batting her eye.

If you really want to take revenge on old Rumpumpel,

you must become a better witch than she.

And you should begin right now.

- Like right now?

- Immediately.

- Fundamentals of black witchcraft.

First, the elements.

The spells on conjuring wind, I think I can handle that.

Ventalas ventalas vantalus voontalus verivox,

verifoox voorufex hexorex.

Ventalas ventalas vantalus

voontul, vontafex?

And then it's something like veritvex, verihex.

Ought-oh.

- What's wrong?

- Must've been the wrong spell.

- Wrong spell, what do you mean?

Take them away, get rid of them now.

- That spell is way too complex, and the wind

doesn't need my help to blow anyhow.

Invoke ball lightning, cause avalanches,

release a firestorm, but what about dirty dishes?

Or mending socks, something useful.

- Can you please just get rid of these ears?

- They look good on you.

Ears, ears, ah, ears, rabbits, counter-spell,

conversio, that's it, mm-hm.

Vari verihex.

Why are you laughing?

Oh dear.

- I think they look good on you.

- Ventavus ventavus ventavus voontavos,

uh, that's not right.

Varibooks varivox.

These spells are too complicated and that book is too big.

How am I suppose to get through it?

What are you looking for, did you lose something?

- We're looking for firewood, but there's nothing

on the ground, no branches, no twigs, nothing.

- What do you mean, nothing?

- There's been no wind, and no wind

means nothing's been falling from the trees.

- I'd love to know magic right now.

- Well you don't, and why,

it won't help anything.

- Ventavus ventavus vantuvus voontavus

verivox verivoox ruafex hexarex.

- Take cover.

- Your handkerchief, I'll get it.

- That's enough, stop it, enough.

- Ah, look.

- Huh, I guess I can conjure.

Wind's a good start. - Blunderbust,

thunder tindrums, lead and hail, what are you doing?

You know you can't collect firewood here.

- How else are we suppose to heat our stoves?

- That's not my problem, empty your baskets right now.

Come on, let's go.

- Please, Mr. Forester, show some mercy.

We're not hurting anyone.

- That is not the issue, there are rules.

Now empty that basket.

- You should stay away from me.

- So, you wanna resist, I oughta lock you up

for obstructing an officer and, and, and I would be

happy to let you keep however much wood you need.

Did I really just say that?

- Thank you for being so agreeable,

I just wish these baskets weren't so heavy.

- Oh for goodness sake, I should take you in

for whatever nonsense you're trying to pull here.

But, first I should carry that heavy basket home for you.

Why would I wanna do that?

- You really mean it?

- No, I mean, oh sure.

- Here you go.

Blunderbus, thunder tindrums, lead and hail,

and if you want, I can carry you if it's easier.

Really?

- Definitely not, I mean, yeah.

- Giddy up bye!

Let's go little donkey, move it.

Come on little donkey, hurry, yah!

- Bluderbust, thunder tindrums, lead and hail--

- Whoa, you can set me back down now.

Hep!

Well that was nice, now run along home.

You must be the nicest forester in the world.

- Uh-huh.

- And you'll let the women gather wood in peace from now on?

- Yes.

- Hm, he's not gonna forget that.

- You should've seen him,

all swearing and sweating.

- It was good of you to help those poor women,

but was it necessary to torture the forester like that, hm?

- Yeah, of course.

- But why?

- Because it was fun, I help good people

by punishing bad ones.

- Is that so?

Do you really think that's how a good witch behaves?

Couldn't you do good without all the tricks and shenanigans?

- That sounds boring.

- Boring, well it doesn't have to be.

You know what, sometimes I get the feeling

that you don't want to be a good witch.

- Well, that's how I get to dance on Brocken Mountain,

so of course I want that.

- Then I think it's about time that you started

acting like that's what you want, don't you agree?

- How am I suppose to know what's good and what's not?

- It's not something that you know,

it's something that you feel.

You have to listen to the voice deep inside yourself,

you'll feel it.

- Run, and take your girl

drums with you. - Go play with your dolls.

- We don't want you little sissies.

- Thanks for our new cart.

Yeah!

- Let's break it.

- Why are you doing that?

- Because it's fun.

Yeah, it's a lot of fun.

Stop staring, and stop asking stupid questions.

Cut it out, let's go.

- Thank you kindly, No-frills Jacob, now open.

I've got fantastic

exquisite supplies for the gentlemen,

and great, great lotions

I'm feeling generous today folks, almost giving it away.

Suspenders, razor blades, this big bottle

of healthy garlic juice for dirt cheap.

Step right up, I've got bargains you can't beat.

That'll be five sir, thank you, you got yourself a bargain.

The finest goods from No-frills Jacob, whatever you need.

- How much for these?

- For you my dear, just three, no, make it two, okay.

Step right up people, you'll be glad you did.

I've got flags, yarn, and ink.

- Thank you.

- I hope they serve you well, ma'am.

No-frills Jacob, open for business.

I've got just what you need at the price you need.

- Hello there.

- Hello.

Mm!

Anything else, ma'am?

- No thank you.

- Mama, will you buy us a candy cane,

or a rock candy please, just one?

- Not today Vroni, some other time dear.

- That will be 8.70 please, thank you.

- Let me help you with that.

- I need a broom, please.

- A hand broom, a kitchen broom, or perhaps a birch broom?

Maybe a scrubbing brush.

I also have many feather dusters to choose from.

- Just a simple birch broom.

- Ah, with or without a broomstick.

- With, I mean, the stick's the most crucial part.

- Here you go, my finest quality broom.

- Very nice, oh, and a large bag of rock candy, please.

A little more.

Oh, and a candy cane.

- Ah, mm, okay, that'll be 9.80, please.

- Oh, keep the change, thank you.

- Thank you.

- Mm-hm.

- Miss, handmade paper flower?

Flowers, handmade paper flowers, flowers.

- You have so many lovely flowers, I like them.

- Yeah, I made them all myself but no one wants one.

- May I?

But their fragrance smells so good.

Their fragrance?

- It smells sweet.

- You're right.

- What is that smell?

- It smells magical.

- Over there, I think it's those paper flowers.

- One flower, please.

- I want one too.

-Two please, one for me and one for my sister.

- I'll buy a couple!

- Notice something weird?

- Yeah, she's not running out of flowers.

- Hey, hey, excuse me, can you save me a flower?

Your, your flowers are quite beautiful.

- Now, you're going to be my witch's broom, okay.

See, being good can be fun.

Eh, why are you acting up?

That was close.

I'm guessing that one flips up over and

I wonder what'll happen if I do this!

Woo-hoo, woo!

Woo, now that's cold.

- Oh, I'm roasting out here.

Ah, this is so boring.

Should I cast some spells?

- On a Friday, on Friday, spells are--

- Forbidden, I know.

Well what about an itty, bitty spell?

- If you're willing to risk getting caught, then go

right ahead, but we'll see if you dance on Brocken Mountain.

- It's such a stupid rule, no magic on Fridays.

I don't understand it, why not cast spells on a Friday?

- I think we've been here before.

- Okay, that way?

- Hm?

- Oh, hey

Oh dear.

- No one's home.

- Hello.

Are you kids lost?

- No. - Yeah.

- Come on, I won't bite.

How 'bout a bite to eat, I'll go see what I have.

- It's her, that lady from the market.

- What's that?

- It's a snouted, horned, horse-tailed goat witch.

Whatda you think?

- I don't know.

- I kinda like it.

- How about some cocoa and cake?

Good?

Mm-hm.

- Yeah.

- Can I ask you something?

- You can ask anything.

- Are you a witch?

- Vroni.

- So, are you or not?

- Uh, I'm sorry about that, she's not trying to be rude.

Of course you're not a witch.

- Oh no?

- Obviously, you're not mean or ugly or old.

And you can't cast spells either.

Hey, I want down.

- So you really are a witch then.

- Will you please put me down?

- What else can you do?

- What would you like?

- Are you mad, have you forgotten what day it is, well?

- The bird can talk?

- Is he an enchanted prince?

- He's no prince, Abraxas is an old know it all

who's scared to leave the house.

- What's his deal?

- Probably nothing, but don't you think it'd

be nice if he closed the curtains.

- Can I come down already?

- Sure, sorry about that.

- Ohh.

- Any requests?

- Put the table on the ceiling.

- Don't mind that.

- Fill the bathtub with milk and honey.

- And what about you, is there something

that you'd like to see?

- Make the stove play a song.

- I see, playtime.

Hello?

Who are you?

Rumpumpel, what a nice surprise.

- I was nearby, so I thought I'd pop in.

- That's nice, I'm kind of right in the middle of

cleaning at the moment, so--

- I don't mind, just checking on how your studies are going.

- Good, very good, actually.

Good, good,

very good indeed.

What's with the curtain and those shutters

over there being drawn?

- Oh it's because it's hot outside.

- I see, the heat.

Eh!

- Uh, well that makes it easier to clean.

- Were you casting spells?

- I'd never do such a thing on a Friday.

You know spells are forbidden today, don't you?

- Don't get cute with me.

- Sorry.

Do you have visitors right now?

- No.

- You wouldn't happen to be entertaining humans?

We witches are to keep away from humans,

you know that's forbidden too, don't you?

- Of course, that's common knowledge.

- What's that?

- Um, I like to draw, it's relaxing.

- Well, uh-uh, it's not bad.

You have talent, hm.

Honey?

- Yep, it's good for the skin, you should try it sometime.

- Why, is something wrong with my skin?

Oh, you mean warts.

- Achoo!

- Is someone here?

- No, that was, achoo, me.

This time of year always gives me, achoo,

terrible hay fever, it gets worse, achoo, each year.

I just can't see to, achoo, shake it off.

- Get that away, you'd better count

your lucky stars it's Friday, or else I'd--

- Cut it out, Abraxas.

- What did you call him, that charbroiled chicken there?

- He's Abraxas, he's my raven.

He gets in the way when I'm cleaning

so I put him in the cupboard.

- You know, that we true witches, our pets tend to be cats.

- Uh, cats?

- Yeah, meow, not caw, caw, caw.

You should think about that.

- Achoo!

- Try some nettle tea with some boiled raven's feet perhaps.

- No!

That always works for me.

- Thank you for the tip, I'll have to try it.

- You should be sure to clean behind the sofa.

There's so much dirt, you'd be surprised.

- Yeah, okay, goodbye, Rumpumpel, it was nice to see you.

- I'll keep an eye on you.

Meow, kitty, kitty.

- Who was that?

- Okay, it's time for you

to go home, it's getting late.

- Did you do that?

- Yes.

Thank you.

- Yep, that's our secret.

All right, off with you.

Is something wrong?

- We don't know the way.

- Now don't worry about that, you two just follow

your noses and it'll be just fine.

A real witch, and she's not wicked.

- But the other one sure was.

- Yeah, and so ugly.

- Hello,

are you lost, do you need me to take you home?

- Oh, spells on Friday, even worse, in front of humans.

What if you had been caught, huh?

Imagine what Rumpumpel could've done to those children.

Even you know it's extremely forbidden to cast spells

in front of humans. - Those children.

I didn't think about them.

- Because you only think about yourself.

- Because you know what's best.

- You should be thankful, without me,

everything would fall apart.

- Oh yeah, well you should know that witches

keep cats around, not bossy old ravens.

I'm sorry.

- What are you trying to say?

- Nothing, I have no idea what I'm saying.

And I'm a homebody, is that it?

- A brilliant homebody.

- It's true, I may be a wee bit out of practice,

but I could fly if I wanted to.

- If you wanted, you could fly.

- Hm-hm, somebody does need to keep an eye

on the house when you go out.

- Of course.

- Just a household tip, always clean behind the sofa.

There's just so much dirt there, you'd be surprised.

- And some nettle tea will work wonders for your hay fever,

with boiled raven feet.

But not with mine.

- It's a deal.

Oh!

- And up.

Now give it a spin, yes, nice.

- Stretch 'em nice simply to keep up

going to the clouds, three times.

Fly like a horse and stay the course.

Forest and pluck into the right box.

What does that mean?

Rabbit's foot, apple tree, spider, rat, and hazel tea.

Three, two-- Pocus hocus,

the branch is dropping oh so fine.

Hocus pocus, hot cross buns, all and everything is done.

Oh, hot cross buns, all and everything is done.

- Wake up, wake up, yes you're going to love this!

- It's snow!

Abraxas, it's snowing!

- Achoo!

Achoo!

I think you should take a little break, you look exhausted.

- No time.

- Well, a little fresh air never hurt anybody.

- Look who's talking, I'm freezing.

Let's see if I remember, ignes agnes igoonamite,

fire set yourself alight.

Well, that worked great.

I think you're right, a little fresh air

is just what I need.

- You've earned it.

- Are you coming?

- In this cold, I'm not a penguin, you know.

- Hm, coward.

- I am not being a coward, the world is quite a dangerous

place for an old raven such as myself.

I mean, birds of prey out there, and foxes.

Not to mention the rain, wind,

and snow. - Goodbye, see you later.

- But I could still fly along, if I wanted to.

Achoo!

There you are, where have you been?

Out.

- Did you steal my money?

No, I swear.

- So where'd it go, there's a bunch

missing from my wallet, uh?

- I don't know, maybe you lost it playing nine pins again.

- Ah, you talk to me with respect.

Snotty brat.

Was that your dad?

- It's none of your business so just go away.

- He pushed you.

- Yeah, so?

- That's not right, why does he treat you like that?

You can tell me, I promise I won't tattle.

You didn't really steal his money, did you?

- No, I didn't, but for the last year he's been

playing nine pins at the tavern almost every night,

and losing his money, and he always get mad

and starts making up stuff that isn't true.

- Like you stealing from him?

Ever talk to him about it?

- He gets mad every time you even try to talk to him.

- Sounds like you both have a temper.

You know, if talking doesn't help

maybe we can try something else.

- Putting up a wager, Walinger?

You just can't wait to lose tonight, huh?

- We'll see who ends up paying the tab.

Well, you wanna see what a penniless man looks like?

Oh, don't you start with me.

- All right, I'll knock all of 'em down on the first roll.

- Hocus pocus ball so-- - Watch the magic.

I pray to saint thee gently lean.

- Whoa-oh.

- What was that?

- Hey, what'd you do that for?

You trying to break my nine pins alley?

- Somethin' must be wrong with the ball.

- All right, I'm ready now. - And now.

Over there.

- What in the world?

- Listen friend, either you stop rollin' the ball so blasted

hard or we're never gonna let you play here again.

- Yeah. - Um-um.

- Wouldn't that be great?

- Just watch.

- Yeah.

You see, there you go, I know how

to handle a ball, right fellas?

- It's all broken now.

How does this keep happening?

- Out with you.

We told you what would happen.

- Come on guys, I swear I didn't do it on purpose.

Yeah.

- It's like there was a curse on me.

Dad, your cap.

- What're you doing here?

Here's your jacket and your scarf.

- I'm sorry, Konrad, I'm sorry that I pushed you.

- Come on, let's go home.

- What is it?

You forgot your ball.

- I don't need it anymore.

- No more?

Hey son, what do think about

going sledding, like we used to?

Yeah, or fishing?

Sounds like fun.

My birthday, I completely forgot about it.

- You've been wrapped up in your studies.

- And there's 128 candles.

- Now you'll have to

blow them out and make a wish.

- Do I have to?

It's just so beautiful like this.

- Yeah, you're right, it is quite lovely.

Uh, I almost forgot.

- For me?

- To keep you warm and cozy better, perfect.

Tomorrow's Walpurgis and I haven't

heard from any of the big witches.

- Well, did you really learn

every single spell in the book?

- All 7,892.

Hello.

- I scare you?

I am here by order of the head witch.

Your test will take place tonight at midnight.

Come to the witches' rock past the cave,

you know where that is, don't you?

- Yes, so tell the head witch I'll certainly be there.

- You don't have to come if you'd rather not.

Sometimes it's wiser to simply remain at home.

- But I really wanna dance on Brocken Mountain.

- Don't say I didn't warn you.

- Nine, 10, 11, 12.

Hello?

Yes, who's there?

- Me!

Who is me?

- Me, I've come here to take my witch's test tonight.

Now!

- She's still skin and bones.

- And she hasn't grown an inch all year.

- Excuse me. - So, you've decided

to take the test, huh?

To show us that you've become a capable witch.

Ready for your first task?

- Yes, I am.

- Here we go, conjure a whirlwind.

- Whirlwind, whirlwind.

Ventavus ventalus vantulas voontalus

verifex verifoox vurufex hexerex.

I said stop.

- Stop!

Was that necessary, why's it always my fire.

- And not bad. - That was good.

Do thunderclaps, three of them.

- Thunderous thanerous thoreous,

thornarix thinarix thanorum,

thunder thaner thinerboom.

- Oh, sorry.

- Make the throne of the head witch fly up into the air.

And make her hair burn.

Make thick smoke pour out of her ears,

and lightning shoot right out of her nose!

- No, no, calm down, calm down.

No fire or smoke, hear, I'm perfectly fine without it.

Anyone else have a task for her?

- Now cast the spell on page 3,574

from the Book of Witchcraft.

- Uh, 3,574, that was uh, it says, that one is,

I can see it, uh, ball lightning, ball lightning.

- She's correct.

- Ballight booloo spenaloose,

Ballight bowloose lightaboose.

Very good.

- So does that mean I can join the dance this year?

- The dance?

Yes, you may.

- Thank you, wonderful witches!

- Unless somebody has an objection

to you joining our celebration.

- Yes! - Hm?

- I have an objection, and I can prove

that she's not a decent witch.

Notwithstanding this tomfoolery here,

she's nothing but a farce, a very bad witch.

I've been watching her for the last year,

and I have a list of her crimes.

First, she casts spells on Friday, tons.

- Ohh.

- Is this true?

- Yes, but it was only on one Friday.

- And secondly, she did so in front of human children.

- Oh.

And these children, tell me, they no longer fear you?

- Why would they fear me?

- Don't you know people everywhere need to be

afraid of us, it's very important.

- Hm-mm.

- And thirdly, this wretch chose to punish a naughty

little boy by bewitching a snowman and bringing him to life.

- Oh!

- What's worse, she did it to help other children.

- And I also helped the wood women, and I helped

the girl at the market sell her paper flowers

by giving them an irresistibly sweet smell,

and Konrad wasn't really a naughty boy, he was just sad.

- Oh-oh!

- Disgusting, why would you tell us all about

what a bad witch you are?

- Bad, but I only cast spells to do good things?

- Yes, exactly.

Witches that cast wicked spells, they're the good witches.

But you, on the other hand, are a bad witch,

because you only see fit to cast good spells.

- Well, I didn't know.

- Unbelievable, you didn't know?

- No.

- A proper witch doesn't know this,

she feels it deep within her bones.

- But I did feel it in my bones.

- You also feel like you deserve

to dance on Brocken Mountain.

- I know what she deserves, we should make her

collect the wood for the bonfire, all by herself.

- And after dancing a few rounds, we can snatch

this pretender up, and pull out all her hair,

one strand at a time.

- Kind witches.

We are not kind witches.

- I mean you wicked witches, I can make up for it

by being really, really wicked as well.

- Oh yeah, then prove it to us.

- Sure, so what do you want me to do first?

- Oh, oh, mm, hm.

- Have her turn those two human children into stone.

- You have until midnight tomorrow to make it so.

Either you do exactly as you're told

or your magic power will be forever gone.

- And once that happens, you will be banned for all time.

- And you'll have to live like an ordinary girl,

all by yourself.

- It's time to decide.

- Is that really the only option?

I'll collect all the firewood that you want,

I'll gladly take the test next year, or the year after that.

I'll juggle my broom.

Where did you go?

- They're really forcing you to do that?

These poor children are innocent,

you know you can't turn them to stone.

- I can't, if I refuse they'll take away my magic.

- Yes, it's just so unfair, I'll bet none of these

stupid witches know the Book of Witchcraft

as well as you do.

They should be punished, by taking away their magic powers.

My blood is just boiling over this, I'm so furious.

- This is all your fault.

- Excuse me?

- You're the one who told me

that I should be doing good deeds.

- Now hold it right there, those good deeds

were entirely your idea, were they not?

- You always know what's best.

- And you are a good witch who would

never dream of doing bad things.

- And what if I don't wanna be a good witch.

- Nonsense, you shouldn't say such things.

- Oh yeah, then tell me what you think I should do.

- Uh, I've no idea.

- Really?

Rumpumpel was right, what good's a raven?

- What did you say?

Do you mean that?

As you wish.

This isn't you.

Love your neighbors,

you are one, keep your loved ones by your side.

Witches' dance we need the moon,

one more will be worried soon.

Have been waiting for the rain.

for Walpurgis night.

Gather neighbors far and wide,

keep your loved ones by your side.

Witches,

- So you've come to turn those children

into stone after all, eh?

That's good, because if you don't, I will.

I promise you.

You scared me to death, you okay?

- Something wrong?

- Veerum varum, veerum varum, veerum, vowum

varum vixor, varum vixor.

I can't.

- You can't do what?

- The big witches want me to do wicked things.

But I just can't.

- That sounds like a good thing.

- No, it's not good.

- Can you cast a spell?

- After tonight I can't use magic.

- Do you not have a spell book?

- What're you doing?

- I'm drawing a circle around you

to protect you from evil until Walpurgis is over, mm.

- Seems you've made your decision.

You will regret this.

- What's your problem with the children?

They didn't do anything to you so why should I hurt them?

- Because you're desperate to prove

that you're a proper witch.

- But it's so wrong and evil.

- It is, that's true, we're witches.

- Well I'm a witch too.

- Not for long.

- We'll see about that.

- Yes, your broom will burn nicely you'll see.

At the big dance

- I am a proper witch, and I'm not gonna let anyone

tell me that I'm not, you hear me old goat?

Nobody else knows that book by heart.

You'd all be powerless without your books.

Without your books.

He said, I hope that they'll serve you well.

Quiet, I'm trying to concentrate here.

Yes, that's it.

Abraxsus.

Abraxas, I put out some raisins for you.

I'm really sorry about what I said to you.

I was confused and scared.

But I'm not confused anymore.

- Hm.

- Please, watch the house while I'm gone, okay?

I'm gonna go up to the mountain.

Wish me luck.

- Brocken Mountain?

Don't go yet, I can help, wait for me.

There's the raisins.

What did you say, she left the matches?

Yes, I'm aware that she never gets the fire spell right.

To Brocken Mountain, me?

Well, I'm suppose to watch the house, so I can't,

no, there's no way.

Oh dear.

- Something is missing here.

- Where is the firewood?

This cannot be possible.

- Wrong, it is very possible.

- You foul fate, you dare to defy

the order that we gave you.

- Just how am I defying you?

- You were suppose to turn the children into stone

and you didn't do it.

- Yes, yes. - And what about the firewood,

the bonfire can't take place without firewood, remember.

- But the wood's there.

- Is that some kind of joke, I see no wood around, nothing.

- I think you should look again.

Hocus pocus one, two, three,

witches brooms come fly to me.

Therum arum flip and flap, on this lofty mountain drop,

fall upon this spooky place, build a roaring fire base.

- My broom, no.

- What're you doing, are you a fool?

- Hocus pocus hear me say, witches books be on your way.

High past the roofs on my behest,

please join me on this magic quest.

- Oh!

- My book!

- All right then, this is happening.

Well I will fly there, you just wait and see.

I can do it, I can do it, here I go!

That kinda hurt.

What's going on?

- What on Earth does she want with our spell books?

- Oh, that tiny girl must've gone crazy.

- You wretch.

I'm gonna make you pay dearly for this.

- Hocus pocus now hear as I say,

take their witchcraft all away.

Witches will bewitch no longer,

none is weaker, none is stronger.

Hocus pocus, blood and bone, witchcraft is for me alone.

- Oh, hump pump, I can't remember.

- Outta the way, neither can I.

- My power!

- Oh, oh.

So what do we do next?

- You will reverse the spell, right now.

- Sorry, I can't.

- Why can't you?

- Because I forgot it, I think it's on page 3,786.

- She forgot the spell?

- So, I think it's time to start the bonfire now.

- Oh no! - What?

No, stop right there.

- I really need those matches.

Ignus agnus igatrite, fire set yourself alight.

- Huh?

- Ignus agnus igatrite, or was it iganun?

She forgot the bloody spell.

- Now what was that spell?

- Well a spell book would come in pretty handy now, eh?

- I gotta think.

- No, snuff out the torches.

We'll get you, you miserable, stupid little toad.

- Uh yes, the toad, I remember.

Bufo, bafo don't remain.

- What are you doing?

- But settle in the toad's domain.

Bufo bafo all of thee, now let your inner toad be free.

Sorry, careful, pardon.

All right, time to light the fire, but how?

- I'm here, I made it, I made it.

- Abraxas? - Look at me, ought-oh.

- Abraxas?

Abraxas, are you all right?

Oh no.

- You completely forgot the matches.

You forgot to bring the matches, you've never

had any luck starting a fire without them.

- But it's been over a hundred years since you've flown.

- I might be a homebody, I can't pretend I'm not.

But this was the right occasion.

- Oh Abraxas, my dear, sweet Abraxas.

Will you please forgive me for what I said?

- Yes, of course I will, but I can't forgive you

if I can't breathe, please let me go.

I'm not joking, need air.

- I'm sorry.

- What is she up to?

- Rumpumpel, what are you doing?

- Oh, who me, nothing.

Please don't do anything rash, you and I

could be friends, don't you think?

I mean, I've never actually had a girlfriend,

but I don't know why you and I couldn't start that.

I always liked you, you know, and just because someone

accidentally casts a couple of good spells

doesn't mean she has to lose her magic, does it?

- What're we gonna do here?

- I believe we've had this discussion before.

- You mean?

- I do, pig snout, horns, and horses' tails go witch.

- Pebble scum, bubble gum, an exotic beast you will become.

Boo!

- It's quite lovely.

- All we need is music.

- Music?

- Yeah, it's time we dance now.

- What do you mean, we?

- Well, the two of us.

- Oh goodness.

- Bullyton bullyton, donkey's ear, all you instruments

will appear to lend a hand in this wonderful night,

to dance a splendid dance tonight.

- Thomas, come look, you've gotta see this.
