Luke manages to steal the formula and slip it into the witches soup. He manages to escape and meet with Bruno, the two going after Helga's room, where they plan to stop the witches plan. 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. 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. 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. The Grand High Witch especially had a plan that would climax in turning all the children of England into mice, to be disposed of either by the witches themselves or by their unsuspecting parents. This was considered to be her ultimate punishment, and the other witches were terrified of her. In the past, the Grand High Witch faced off against Helga Eveshim (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.ĭuring each and every single meeting that she ever attended, she would murder one of her own followers simply to keep the other witches focused. Having gotten an overdose, the Grand High Witch and all her English fellows turn into mice within minutes and are all promptly slaughtered by the hotel staff and guests.Īs 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. Despite a very close shave when the Grand High Witch returns to her room, they manage it and slip the formula into the soup being served for the witch party. They then hatch a plan to acquire a bottle of the formula and slip it into the witches' food at dinner, taking out every witch in England in one swoop and the Grand High Witch into the bargain. With Bruno in tow, the protagonist escapes back to his grandmother's hotel room and gives her the full story. Just as the meeting wraps up, one of her subordinate witches, Mildred, detects the protagonist and the Grand High Witch pours a full bottle of the potion down his throat, turning him into a mouse on the spot. This she demonstrates on a greedy boy named Bruno Jenkins, though he escapes before he can be mouse-trapped. With that done, the Grand High Witch unveils her latest plan to wipe out all the children in England by having all her subordinates purchase sweet shops and contaminate the whole stock with a magic potion that, once ingested, will turn the child who consumed it into a mouse within 24 hours, to be promptly killed by their confused teachers and parents. When one of them expresses disbelief at this, the Grand High Witch proceeds to incinerate her as a warning to the others of the price of disobedience and failure. She first appears once the witches have gathered for their meeting in the hotel ballroom, where she unmasks her hideous face (though keeps on her wig, gloves and shoes unlike the others) and expresses her displeasure with her English subordinates for failing to meet her standards of child-killing, ordering them to wipe out every single child in the country within the year. She is a prime target of those in the know about witches, known as witchophiles, but none of them have ever even come close to finding her. She is known to the public as a kind and wealthy baroness who donates heavily to charity. It also houses a machine that can print any kind of existing currency, which funds her witchy schemes, and a number of attendant witches, one of whom acts as her deputy and, in the event of the current Grand High Witch suffering an unfortunate or unexpected end, steps in to take over as the next Grand High Witch. Her headquarters, a gigantic castle, is located in Norway and is where she issues her orders from. As the leader of all the witches in the world, only she is permitted to know the identities of witches besides those in her native country (implied to be Norway). The Grand High Witch is described as the most evil woman in the world, and it is shown to be anything but hyperbole when she makes her physical appearance.
