Plot summary

What is Hocus Pocus 2 movie plot?

Here is a short review of "Hocus Pocus 2" movie plot summary.

In 1653, a young Winifred Sanderson (Bette Midler) is banished from Salem by Reverend Traske after she defied the authority of the church and wouldn't relent in her decision to marry John Pritchett (Thomas Fitzgerald). Rather than let her sisters, Mary (Kathy Najimy) and Sarah (Sarah Jessica Parker), be taken away from her, Winifred escapes with them to a nearby forbidden forest. There, they make the acquaintance of Mother Witch (Hannah Waddingham) who gifts Winifred her magic book for her sixteenth birthday but explicitly warns the sisters against casting a spell known as the Magicae Maxima. Mother Witch also teaches the sisters to kill other children to keep their youthfulness.
In 2022, twenty-nine years after the Sanderson sisters were resurrected by the Black Flame Candle, two Salem teenagers named Becca (Whitney Peak) and Izzy (Belissa Escobedo) prepare to celebrate both Halloween and Becca's sixteenth birthday but turn down a party invitation from their friend Cassie Traske (Lilia Buckingham), from whom they are estranged. Becca and Izzy visit a magic shop (formerly the Sanderson cottage) run by Gilbert (Sam Richardson), who gifts Becca a candle for their annual ritual. Becca and Izzy light the candle and discover that it is another Black Flame Candle. As there is a full moon and the girls are both virgins, the candle resurrects the Sanderson sisters once again.
The girls manage to outwit the sisters in a local Walgreens and then escape to the magic shop where they discover that Gilbert purposely gave them the candle in hopes of reviving the sisters, having seen them on Halloween back in 1993 and been taught how to make the candle by Book. The sisters catch up to the girls and see a campaign flyer belonging to Mayor Traske (Tony Hale), Cassie's father and Reverend Traske's direct descendant. Winifred decides they will cast the Magicae Maxima spell to eliminate Traske and take revenge on Salem. The sisters trap Izzy and Becca in the basement and task Gilbert with collecting the ingredients for the spell while they hunt down Traske, his blood also being necessary to complete the spell.
