The Halloweentown series consisted of four fantasy horror television films aired on The Disney Channel presented as Disney Channel Original Movies between 1998 and 2006.
Although magic is present in many of the details of daily life of Halloweentown, it appears that only a limited number of persons actually practice or control magic. These people are mainly human, and are called witches female and warlocks male. These beings appear human, but possess some sort of biological extrasensory ability which allows them to harness magic unlike their mortal counterparts. Magic is also hereditary in their families.The Halloweentown movies concern episodes in the lives of the CromwellPiper family. The family matriarch, Agatha Cromwell, has been a pillar of Halloweentown society for centuries. Her daughter, Gwen Piper, married a mortal and chose to leave Halloweentown for a life in the Mortal World. At the time of the movies, she is apparently widowed. She has decided to raise her three children Marnie, Dylan, and Sophie apart from magic, and thus rejects contact with Halloweentown and the influence of her mother. ........
