- Bette Midler as Winifred Sanderson. Just try to think of Hocus Pocus without immediately hearing Midler's hilariously calling out, "Sisters!" The iconic actress gave one of the most memorable performances of her career in the cult hit, with thousands of fans still dressing as her Winifred for Halloween every year.
- Sarah Jessica Parker as Sarah Sanderson. A pre-Sex and the City Parker stole the show with her air-headed Sarah, whose voice lures children out of their beds in the night during the culmination of the movie.
- Kathy Najimy as Mary Sanderson. If Sarah was the pretty Sanderson sister, then Mary was definitely the sweetest — and most hilarious. Najimy's twisted-mouthed, almost timid performance as the sister who ends up having to fly around on a vacuum cleaner is still a highlight.
- Omri Katz as Max. The virgin who lit the black candle and got the party started. Katz's wide-eyed Max, who would do anything to protect his little sister Dani, is the grounding force of the movie.

- Bette Midler. Bette Midler is an award-winning actress as well as singer. Long before she was playing a sinister yet kooky witch, Midler was selling albums, going on tour, and hitting the top of the charts.
- Sarah Jessica Parker. After portraying the promiscuous Sanderson sister that just so happened to share Sarah Jessica Parker's first name, she went on to become one of the most empowering women characters in all of television history in the dramedy series, Sex in the City.
- Kathy Najimy. Between Kathy Najimy's feral growl and perfect facial expressions, fans cannot soon forget the most eccentric Sanderson sister. Just four years after Hocus Pocus aired, Najimy would find herself starring in the NBC sitcom Veronica's Closet as well as voicing the matriarch of King of the Hill, Peggy Hill.
- Doug Jones. In Hocus Pocus, fans were made to believe that Billy was Winifred's unfaithful boyfriend, but come to find out in the sequel, he was merely a boy she had a crush on who met a horrible fate after the young witch discovered magic.
