Practical Magic is a 1998 American romantic fantasy movie based on the 1995 novel by Alice Hoffman. The movie was directed by Griffin Dunne and stars Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman, Dianne Wiest, Stockard Channing and Aidan Quinn. Bullock and Kidman play sisters Sally and Gillian Owens, descended from a long line of witches. Raised by their aunts after their parents' death from a family curse, the sisters are taught the uses of practical magic as they grow up. Years later, they must use their magic to destroy the evil spirit of Gillian's abusive boyfriend before it kills them.

Practical Magic was released by Warner Bros. on October 16, 1998, and grossed $68 million worldwide against a production budget of $60-75 million. The movie received mixed reviews from critics, who found the film's combination of different genres, including supernatural fantasy, domestic abuse drama, romantic comedy, and crime procedural, to be jarring. It has since gained a cult following. A sequel, Practical Magic 2, was released on September 11, 2026.
