Sarah Sanderson is one of the two secondary antagonists of the 1993 Disney film, Hocus Pocus. She is portrayed by Sarah Jessica Parker.

Background[]

Personality[]

Sarah is the most flirtatious of the Sanderson sisters and enjoys "playing" with people, men and young boys in particular. As she has a sadistic sense of humor, it is strongly implied that "playing" with people means torturing them or simply engaging in inappropriate relations. Even so, she is very obedient to her eldest sister Winifred and would unlikely be as evil as she is without her guidance. Although Sarah is an airhead (much to Winifred's frustration) and often says or does stupid things, her unique power -her enchanting, siren-like voice- make her an extremely powerful, dangerous, and valuable witch. With her voice, she has charmed all of the children of Salem, using the song quoted above.

Physical appearance[]

Sarah Sanderson is the most beautiful witch in all of Salem, with long wavy blonde hair, blue eyes and fair skin. She dresses in shades of purple including a bodice with flowery embroidery and lacy sleeves, a deep purple skirt over another, redder skirt with a slit up the side, and stockings with black boots. When outside or flying, she wears a hooded purple cloak.

Powers and Abilities[]

Sarah has magic and her special ability is her hypnotic song "Come Little Children," which she uses to seduce children. She can also brew potions with the help of her sisters in order to create the life potion, allowing them to absorb the life forces of children. Sarah can also fly with use of  a broom. 

She is a competent spell-caster, being able to transform Thackery Binx into a cat from Winnie's spell book.
