That goes a long way toward making the audience sympathize with her. She calls her sisters useless and leeches on more than one occasion, but in the sequel, as often as she snaps at them, she’s also protective of them. Hocus Pocus, the movie’s novelization, and the sequel novel, all indicate that Winifred is power hungry. It’s a quick turnaround for her, but one that’s heavily foreshadowed at the start of the movie when literally the only thing that matters to her is to keep her family together. When Winifred realizes that her quest for power means she no longer has her sisters by her side, she is completely despondent, and even more friendly toward the same teenagers whose souls she just wanted to steal to prolong her life. Winifred, however, gets something of a redemption in the movie’s end. Mary and Sarah both demonstrate more human qualities in the books than they do in the movie as well (save for Sarah wanting Winifred to acknowledge that she is a “good and loyal sister”). In the books, Winifred is unabashedly a villain. While broad strokes of the two stories are similar in the two mediums, like a group of teens being on their own against the Sanderson sisters, there is one glaring difference between the two.
