[HPforGrownups] Witch Movie-sort of OT

I love that film (Bell, Book and Candle)!  I own a copy.  In that film,
witches can't cry, and they lose their powers if they fall in love.  Also
one of the few films to show male witches (Jack Lemmon plays Kim Novak's
brother).  They refer to him as a warlock, although according to the Wiccans
on the list, "warlock" is a derogatory term, no?  I really enjoyed Kim
Novak's "revenge" on Jimmy Stewart's original fiance, who was an old school
enemy of hers.  Very funny and sweet movie, including a priceless scene
where Jimmy Stewart tries to drink a potion to rid himself of Kim's love
enchantment.

Hi all.  Has anyone ever seen the movie "Bell, Book and Candle".  I
have always loved that movie and even had a cat once named Piewacket.
It has Jimmy Stewart and Kim Novak in it.  I was watching it this
morning and noticed some similarities and differences between this
witch world and Harry's.  Kim Novak is the witch and she gets Jimmy
Stewart to fall in love with her with a spell.  Of course all this
comes for naught and everything turns upside down.  The scene where
she tells him she is a witch made me think of the scene in ASA where
Siruis has to tell Cordelia.  Kim Novak tells her brother that she is
renouncing when she agrees to marry Stewart.  I guess in this world
you can marry a Muggle but have to give up your powers.  And there
are no wands, she does her magic through her "familiar"  Piewacket.
He reminds me of Crookshanks.  One very smart cat.  Well have to get
the kids to school.  If anyone else has seen it let me know if you
liked it.   Later  Shelly
