The TV film "Winter of the Witch", featuring a bushy-haired
witch played by Hermione Gingold.

In Louisa May Alcott's _Little Men_: Tommy Bangs, who
is forgetful, accident-prone, and has a strained relationship
with his grandmother.

In _The Wizard of Oz_ (the book): The Witch of the West
can't touch or hurt Dorothy because of something on her
forehead.

The "Time Turner" is plagiarism because Time-Warner owns
both Time and Turner.
