Hettie Hubble is the New Worst Witch enrolling for her first term at the witches' training academy.

Based on the best selling books by Jill Murphy and conceived long before the stories of another famous magic school this series follows on from the adventures of Mildred (Georgina Sherrington), the original Worst Witch, and sees her 11 year old cousin Hettie Hubble enrolling for her first term at the witches' training academy. Hettie (Alice Connor) has heard endless tales of drama and excitement at the school and dreams of being the best witch the Academy has ever seen. But Hettie's problem is her enthusiasm she wants to fly before she can hover! Deep down, Hettie does want to behave, but she can't stand injustice, and sees nothing wrong with speaking her mind when necessary... The New Worst Witch gives a whole new meaning to school life, where the chemistry classroom is a potions lab full of green, smelly, bubbling concoctions, there's no school bus everyone flies a broomstick, and learning to spell takes on a whole new meaning.
