Check in the kid’s lit section. They’re often not shelved with the rest of his Disc novels.
You took mine.
Seeing as no one has mentioned her, Malificent.
Post #23, but spelled correctly. ![]()
Probably why I didn’t find it when I searched.
Hard to ignore Veronica Lake. But everyone remembers the wicked witch of the west, and no one mentioned Margaret Hamilton, who gave us all nightmares (and made up for it by selling us coffee to keep us awake).

Hey, They were not witches! One was the nanny of the accusing sisters.
I can’t remember which ‘witch’ was the nanny, but it’s well documented. 
Well, since this thread has been revived, I might as well mention both Agnes Nutter and her descendant, Anathema Device.
Agnes didn’t resist at all when she was dragged off to be burned at the stake. She had known it was coming, of course. And had therefore hidden small kegs of gunpowder and nails underneath her skirt.
As far as top witches, it seems hard to beat Dr. Johann Faustus. He even allegedly died in a freaky alchemical explosion, subsequent to which the devil came to collect him in person.
Three pages, and no one’s mentioned Samantha’s father, Maurice (played by Maurice Evans)?
Granny Weatherwax, Tiffany Aching, Nanny Ogg and her companion GREEBO! (Especially for the brief time he was turned human, before his bad catliness took him back.
Larissa of Thessaly, from the Sandman comics. She has an entertaining shoot-first-and-ask-questions-later attitude. (Literally: she will kill you, then interrogate your ghost.)
Morgana/Morgause/Morgan le Fay, particularly as portrayed by Helen Mirren and Eva Green.
I don’t know how faithful it was to the folklore, but I kind of liked Baba Yaga as portrayed in Bartok the Magnificent.
Asajj Ventress from the clone wars never really gets mentioned, so I’m putting her name out.
1.) Virginia Matuchek from Poul Anderson’s novels Operation Chaos and Operation Luna
2.) Tansy Saylor from Fritz Leiber’s novel Conjure Wife. Ol’ Norman ain’t bad either.
3.) Keziah Mason from Lovecraft’s short story “The Dreams in the Witch-House”
4.) Agatha Harkness from Marvel Comics
5.) Could any witch be more enchanting then Gillian Holroyd (Kim Novak) in “Bell, Book, and Candle?”
6.) Empress Jadis from the Narnia books
7.) Morgan LeFay from the Arthurian Mythos
8.) Let’s have a three-for-one deal: Maleen, Goth, and the Leewit from James Schmitz’s the Witches of Karres, either the short story or the novel.
9.) Kelly Hollister from the comic Soulsearchers
10.) I saved the best for last: Thessaly from the Sandman comic
No mention of Witch Marge from the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror VIII “Easy-Bake Coven”?
Serafina Pekkla from the His Dark Materials books by Phillip Pullman.
I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for Samantha and the Wicked Witch of the West.
I’m surprised Lamia didn’t mention Lamia.
She’s probably named after the mythological creature, not any specific individual.
Rachel Morgan from *The Hollows Stories *of Kim Harrison
Samantha Stephens would top my list!
A close second would be Catherine Hicks as Amanda Tucker in the short-lived TV series “Tucker’s Witch”, which only lasted for twelve episodes in the 1982-1983 season.
