Sally Owens
So many of the stories and movies that depict witchcraft portray it as something dark and evil. Practical Magic, and Alice Hoffman’s novels as a whole, do not. That’s an important note for the movie. The Owens women practice magic and believe in their craft, but they aren’t the bad guys, and they aren’t the devil-worshiping villains that they are painted as. When Sally finds herself and Gillian in the middle of the investigation into Jimmy’s disappearance, she is confronted with the rumors ab...
Sally Owens
Out of context, this particular Practical Magicquote from Sally Owens sounds mean-spirited, but it’s not in the movie. The Owens women are more than ready to poke fun at one another and take the things that others dislike about them to give themselves power. Gillian loves to fall in love. Outside the family, that’s frowned upon, and she knows how people see her, which is why she also tells women to “lock up their husbands” when she’s back in town. The aunts and Sally, however, love Gillian fo...
Aunt Jet
When Practical Magicbegins, Sally Owens isn't as enamored with the family's craft as her sister, her aunts, or her daughters. She blames magic for the loss of her parents and the loss of her husband. That doesn't stop her from turning to magic to help her sister though - and to find it backfiring on her yet again. As her Aunt Jet points out in this Practical Magic quote, it's not possible for Sally to fully commit to using the craft when she's continually against it. The same is true in life...
Gary Hallet
Part of the reason Sally spends too much time avoiding magic is that she knows it's real. She understands the power of the family curse. The detective who develops feelings for her while he searches for Gilly's ex-boyfriend, however, doesn't. He doesn't understand why the Owens women are seen as witches and doesn't understand Sally's reluctance to admit her interest in them. Despite him giving Sally this line, she still attempts to keep her distance from him. Of course, since Sally's love for...
Aunt Jet
At the climax of the movie, Sally needs to build herself a coven to help get rid of the spirit of Gilly's ex for good. That's easier said than done when she keeps to herself and most of the inhabitants of her small town talk about her behind her back. She calls in the phone tree for her daughter's class, and it turns out to be one of the best decisions she could have made as the women prove that despite the gossip, they do care. Some of them even recount stories of magical moments in their ow...
Sally And Gilly Owens
This quote is said twice in the film and really symbolizes the deep bond between Gilly and Sally, even when they are apart. It is first said when Gilly decides to leave their aunts' house and the small town she and Sally grew up in. RELATED: The Best Horror Movies On Peacock All through their youth, Sally and Gilly were scorned by their neighbors and townsfolk for being witches, so when Gilly leaves, Sally is afraid she will never see her sister again.

Sally Owens
After Sally Owens puts her foot down with this Practical Magicquote, Aunt Jet calmly replies, "No, of course. The nudity is entirely optional. As you well remember!" Sally, however, is still apprehensive. The cycle has repeated. Sally has two daughters with a husband that was killed by the family curse and goes to live with her aunts for support. Sally is wary of her children living the same free-spirited childhood she and Gilly lived, so she lays some ground rules for her aunts and the child...
Gary Hallet
Officer Gary Hallet first appears and immediately is revealed to be Sally's made-up perfect man. The only issue is that Hallet is also there to investigate the murder of James Angelov, who Sally and Gilly killed in self-defense. It's also not Hallet's questioning of Sally that is the memorable Practical Magicquote here, but now Sally responds to the questioning. Jimmy was a bad guy, he was as skeezy as they come and abused Gilly while they were dating. The sisters killed the man in a moment o...
Gilly Owens
In this Practical Magicquote, Gilly is talking about love and what it feels like to fall in love, and how a person can sometimes totally lose themselves in the idea of it, in the illusions the person may grant you, that sometimes they become blinded by the truth around them. Gilly's full quote is actually: This quote pretty much sums up her romance with Jimmy, as she was blinded by how intense he was until it was way too late. She fell in love quickly due to how attractive he was but wasn't a...
Sally Owens
This Practical Magicquote was also from a letter that Sally wrote to Gilly while they were living their separate lives. Sally never wanted love when she was a child after she found out the truth of the curse that affected her family. As she grew older, she started to feel the need for a companion, a romantic partner, one who would be safe from the curse so that she could love them freely and openly. After the death of her husband, Sally felt incredibly scared to love, but the desire remained...
