My favorite witch house is the Victorian house from Practical magic, is so lovely and cozy I love it.

Howl’s Moving Castle is somewhat modeled after the traditional Slavic Baba Yaga home, which is elevated upon chicken legs. Baba Yaga is a witch that lives deep in the forest, according to lore.

Charmed house and witches of east end house are pretty amazing as well

[Rabellaka.]

I would have liked to see the house from Charmed, in San Francisco too. Actually, the house across the street too! I know the interior was a set, but I’d love to know more about the style of the house.

I'm so glad you included Howl's Moving Castle. I love the book and the castle is an active character in the story, and demonstrates Howl's power as a wizard. The animated movie really went to town with the chicken legs and multiple buildings all crammed together, like it's trying to disguise itself as a house but goes overboard.

I am personally affronted by your omission of the Innes house featured in Charmed

[vintagegal]

The chocolate shop in "Chocolat" is a magical place as well. Vianne, played deliciously by Juliette Binoche, is a good witch using her chocolates to cure peoples sadness, loneliness and mediocrity. Her mother was from an unusual tribe of Amazon jungle and she was considered odd, something that Vianne inherited.

I loved Sabrina the Teenage Witch because it was on TV during my teenage years when I became interested in witchcraft. The house and the show made me feel like it was normal and not going to send me to hell - even though it was a bit campy overall, the house was beautiful.

[holytankadinSabelane]

The Practical Magic house is beautiful, and the Charmed house definitely deserves to rank on this list. Great job!

[Toribell]

What I love about the castle in Howl’s Moving Castle is that in the book it’s nothing like that! It’s just a floating castle 🏰 I think it’s a brilliant decision though. Howl puts on this amazing display, perfect hair, perfect clothes, etc. But he’s a mess! And Sophie being the one to tear it all down and then they rebuild it better and more beautiful together😭❤

[thomasruggiero]

AHS coven house is also very fun. White exterior and interiors with accents of black or dark browns and a green house in the back! The green house room in practical magic though is my favorite ❤

[Hali.e.R]

“Mansard roof… more than just a Vampire Weekend song “ 👌😂 it plays in my head every time

[Niteotter]

If I do have to come back to Earth for another reincarnation, I want the home from Practical Magic, as well as the Aunt’s wardrobes. Perfection. 🗝️

[Castlependragon]

The Pratical Magic one...i loved that house until i read the book. The description in the book always made it seem grimy, like the aunts didn't give a fig about clean windows etc. Great vid😊

[becait]

Surprised not to see the charmed house. I also love the witches of east end also has a great witch house

[KatMNature]

Not ONLY is this list a fantastic idea but of all the stupid internet searches I’ve done some of these have never come up! Excited to watch these.

[briannathomas]

Practical magic house always, but I do like the Lovecraft country house.

[kimberlynann]

Oh my god, i think i watched Eve's Bayou as a kid and completely forgot about it until now... one of those moments when you rediscover something so pivotal that you've never consciously considered before! Plus she's in Lovecraft Country as an adult???

[maddiredfern]

You could do a part two and include the house from Charmed and the house from American Horror Story Coven. Those are my favorite witch houses!

[judalea]

just a quick comment - in Practical Magic, it wasn't the mother who cast the spell against falling in love, it was Sally (Sandra Bullock's character, played by Camilla Belle) as the curse was all the Owens women would lose the men they loved
