As Practical Magic 2 approaches this September, we’re beginning a special lead-up series here on Magnolia Street—revisiting all four books (chronologically) in the Practical Magic series by Alice Hoffman to help freshen up the Owens family story before the next film arrives.

In this first installment, we start with Magic Lessons, the origin story of the earliest Owens ancestor, Maria.

Together, we’ll walk through the major characters, family connections, timelines, emotional threads, and the moments that matter most moving forward into The Book of Magic—the novel that inspired the upcoming sequel film.

In this episode:

✨ Character breakdowns

✨ Timeline & story structure

✨ A note from Alice Hoffman

✨ Full summary of Magic Lessons

✨ Connections that carry into the rest of the series

Next month, we move into The Rules of Magic—following Jet, Franny, and Vincent Owens in the 1960s as the family curse begins tightening its grip.

So grab your Midnight Margaritas and settle in… we’re heading back to Magnolia Street!
