Wicked Witch (Sabrina, the Teenage Witch)

The Wicked Witch (Shelley Long) is the main villainess from "Sabrina and the Beanstalk," episode 2.16 of Sabrina, the Teenage Witch (airdate February 6, 1998). She is (mostly) based on the evil witch from Hansel & Gretel, except in the episode, she lives in a house located on top of a beanstalk, which Sabrina Spellman (Melissa Joan Hart) inadvertently grows after using a different recipe to make magic jumping beans.
Similar to the aforementioned fairy tale witch, the Wicked Witch has a literal appetite for mortals, and she encountered Harvey Kinkle after he ended up atop the beanstalk. The witch invited Harvey into her home, where she begins to fatten him up so she could eat him. After Sabrina spots Harvey inside the Wicked Witch's house, she climbed up the beanstalk and entered the house in an attempt to rescue Harvey. However, the Wicked Witch sensed that Sabrina is half-mortal, and she padlocked the front door to prevent their escape, as she planned to eat Sabrina as well.
The Wicked Witch had Sabrina and a fattened Harvey cooking in her pot, but the duo managed to convince the (literally) greedy villainess to save her appetite for the next day. Sabrina and Harvey used the witch's procrastination to escape while she was asleep, but Harvey slamming the front door woke up the witch, who chased them while wielding a rolling pin. Just as the pair reached the beanstalk, the Wicked Witch blocked their escape, leading to Sabrina to use Harvey's girth to push her out of the way. The witch chased after Sabrina and Harvey while climbing down, but she met her defeat at the magical finger of Sabrina, who used her power to turn the Wicked Witch into a vegetarian. The Wicked Witch was shown at her home with a bowl of salad at her table, much to her extreme displeasure.
