Grand High Witch

As one of the most influential and powerful sorceresses on Earth, she leads a secret society of like-minded witches in their never-ending quest to kill and torture children.

In the past, the Grand High Witch faced off against Helga Evesheim (Luke's grandmother) during the latter's quest to find out more about witches, and even considered her an "old adversary" upon their chance meeting at the hotel in England.

During each and every single meeting she ever attended, she would murder one of her own followers simply to keep the other witches focused.

This was considered to be her ultimate punishment, and the other witches were terrified of her.

The Grand High Witch especially had a plan that would climax in turning all the children of the world into mice, to be disposed of either by the witches themselves, or by their unsuspecting parents.

She demonstrates her formula by inviting a boy called Bruno, who had been previously given a chocolate with the formula, as he slowly turns into a mouse.

However, the meeting was being eavesdropped by Luke, a boy who was in the hotel with his grandmother Helga, who warned him about witches and is implied to have faced the Grand High Witch before.

One of the witches catches the scent of Luke, so the Grand High Witch tracks him down and force-feeds him her formula, turning him into a mouse as well.

He manages to escape and meet with Bruno, the two going after Helga's room, where they plan to stop the witches plan.

Luke manages to steal the formula and slip it on the witches soup.

In the end, the Grand High Witch suffered a somewhat fitting demise when her own magic was used against her and she (along with all of her followers, except Susan Irvine) is transformed into a mouse.

While the mice-transformed witches run rampant around the hotel and are killed by the staff, the Grand High Witch is killed by the hotel manager, who uses a cleaver to slice her in half.
