If you loved the enchanting, dreamlike atmosphere and sense of wonder in Practical Magic, you'll be swept away by The Night Circus. Like Hoffman's Owens sisters, Celia and Marco are bound by mysterious, unpredictable magic that shapes their destinies. Morgenstern’s world is brimming with evocative, haunting imagery and spells that are more felt than explained, making magic feel both beautiful and dangerous.
If you cherished the tangled bonds between Sally, Gillian, and their aunts in Practical Magic, you’ll be charmed by the Waverley women in Garden Spells. This novel also centers on sisters with complicated relationships, family curses, and a magical home that’s as much a character as the people themselves. It’s full of warmth, gentle magic, and the healing power of family.
If you were captivated by Sally and Gillian’s emotional evolution in Practical Magic, you’ll love following Franny, Jet, and Vincent as they confront family secrets and embrace their true selves in The Rules of Magic. The characters’ growth is deeply felt as they struggle with love, loss, and the weight of their magical legacy.
If you admired the strength and complexity of the Owens women in Practical Magic, you’ll find a kindred spirit in Elizabeth, the immortal witch of The Witch’s Daughter. This novel follows her across centuries as she faces both heartbreak and danger, using her power and wisdom to survive and protect those she loves.
If you were drawn to the close, almost claustrophobic world of the Owens’ Massachusetts home—where magic seeps into everyday life—you’ll be enchanted by the Hempstock women’s farmhouse in The Ocean at the End of the Lane. Gaiman crafts a story where childhood, memory, and the supernatural blur together in a setting that feels both familiar and otherworldly.
