2/5 starsWhether Practical Magic 2 was genuinely conjured into existence by fan demand – as its PR campaign claims – or is simply the result of Hollywood scraping the intellectual-property barrel and mining anything with a vague following, this long-delayed sequel to 1998’s Practical Magic is a disappointment.Ultimately, this reunion with the magically inclined Owens family from Massachusetts is anything but spellbinding.Once again, we meet the central coven of witches: Sally (Sandra Bullock), her younger sister Gillian (Nicole Kidman) and their eccentric aunts, Frances (Stockard Channing) and Bridget (Dianne Wiest).Practical Magic 2 | Official TrailerWhile Gillian remains resolutely single, Sally has raised her daughters Kylie (Joey King) and Antonia (Maisie Williams) to be blissfully unaware of their extended family’s magical powers or the curse that led to the loss of their father.As we are told early on, “Any man who loved an Owens woman was marked with tragedy.”
