![]() After Michael is fatally hit by a truck, Sally and her daughters return to live with the aunts. The two have two young daughters, Kylie and Antonia. Gillian spends the next decade moving from relationship to relationship across the country, while back in Massachusetts, Sally meets and marries a man named Michael. Before Gillian departs, she and Sally make a blood spell to always be faithful to one another. When the girls are teens, Gillian elopes with her boyfriend and leaves for Los Angeles. Meanwhile Gillian, witnessing the same incident, cannot wait to fall in love. After witnessing their aunts cast a love spell for a woman obsessed with her beloved, Sally casts a spell on herself to ensure she will only fall in love with a man who possesses certain impossible traits, with the goal that she will never fall in love. As children, Sally and Gillian are frequently ridiculed by the town's schoolchildren. In the present, Gillian and Sally Owens are taken in by their aunts Frances and Jet after both their parents succumb to the Owens curse. The spell developed into a curse upon Maria's descendants, dooming any man an Owens woman loves. Heartbroken when the father of her unborn child never returned to her, Maria cast a spell to prevent herself from ever falling in love again. Why? Because it’s now been confirmed that both Hoffman’s novels are getting the HBO treatment in the not-so-distant future.In a small Massachusetts town, the Owens family have been regarded with suspicion for over three centuries due to their ancestor Maria Owens, who survived an attempted execution for witchcraft. If you haven’t read Rules of Magic already (and what kind of Practical Magic fan are you if you haven’t?), then you need to do so now. Despite the warning handed down through the family for centuries (‘know that for our family, love is a curse’), they will all strive to break the rules and find true love.” ![]() Each heads down a life-altering course, filled with secrets and truths, devastation and joy, and magic and love. “Susanna needed to set some rules of magic: no walking in the moonlight, no red shoes, no wearing black, no cats, no crows, no candles and certainly, absolutely, no books about magic… but the Owens siblings are desperate to uncover who they really are. ![]() The official plot synopsis reads: “From the very beginning, their mother Susanna knew they were unique – Franny with her skin as pale as milk and blood red hair, who could commune with birds Jet as shy as she is beautiful, who knows what others are thinking, and Vincent so dark and charismatic that he was surely built for trouble. Indeed, the author recently released much-anticipated prequel novel Rules of Magic, which is all about Frances and Jet’s childhoods – as well as their relationship with their brother, Vincent. What many fans of Practical Magic will not know, though, is that it is actually based on Alice Hoffman’s bestselling book of the same name. The film was a surprise cult hit – not least of all because of its badass feminist undertones (tell Frozen fans that this was the original ‘sister saves sister’ movie) – and is every bit as watchable today as it was all those years ago. ![]()
