10. The White Witch, The Chronicles of Narnia

Not only does she cast her land into a state of perpetual winter, but Tilda Swinton's witch can lift people off their feet, break iron with her bare hands and turn people into stone.

9. Alex Russo, Wizards of Waverly Place

Even though Selena Gomez seems like a normal teen—who's secretly a witch (that's normal, right?)—her cleverness and troublemaker tendencies keeps us from wanting to get on her bad side.

8. Winifred "Winnie" Sanderson, Hocus Pocus

Even though she was ultimately defeated by children, the leader of the Sanderson sisters' short temper and use of violence makes her someone to fear. And with lines like "I've always wanted a child. And now I think I'll have one...on toast!" Bette Midler continues to give kids everywhere nightmares.

7. Wicked Witch of the West, The Wizard of Oz

Margaret Hamilton's cackling, green-skinned, wart-covered witch is one of the most iconic of all time. Oh, and do you know what else is bitchin'? Flying monkeys, that's what.

6. Piper, Charmed

You don't have to be evil to be bitchin'. Not only does Holly Marie Combs' witch possess the power of premonitions, the ability to freeze time and the to make objects spontaneously explode, but Piper is driven by the desire to protect her family and won't let anything get in her way.

5. Willow, Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Revenge is a powerful thing, especially when dealing with a witch. In the case of Willow (Alyson Hannigan), the desire for revenge changed her from a shy nerdy girl to one badass witch determined to end the world.

4. Hermione Granger, Harry Potter

She may be young, but Hogwarts overachiever (Emma Watson) knows how to use her powers. As one of Harry's best friends, she summons her intelligence and logic to protect the ones she loves, again and again. Also, come on...so cute!

3. Nancy Downs, The Craft

The words evil, crazy and powerful come to mind when describing this witch. Fairuza Balk's dark character has no problem with torturing and killing people, makes us a little more cautious when picking our friends.

2. Bonnie Bennett Vampire Diaries

What's more bitchin' than a witch with powers? One that can channel and use the powers of multiple witches. As Bonnie (Katerina Graham) becomes more confident, nothing can get in her way of saving her friends—not even death.

1. Bellatrix Lestrange, Harry Potter

As Lord Voldemort's most loyal Death Eater, Helena Bonham-Carter's super dangerous witch has no problem torturing and killing people. And she does. A lot. She's merciless and sadistic, with a knack for the Dark Arts, but wow is she fun to watch.
