Maisie Williams, best known for her role as Arya Stark in Game of Thrones, has shared a quirky experience involving witchcraft. She once paid a witch on Etsy around £16.50 to help manifest a role in a film, but the spell didn’t work, and she says she never got her money back. This brief foray into the mystical world was part of her journey in seeking opportunities in Hollywood, though it ultimately didn’t lead to success. Now, Williams is set to portray Antonia, the youngest daughter of Sandra Bullock’s character, in Practical Magic 2, the long-awaited sequel to the 1998 film. She described the project as a “much slicker sequel” to the original, suggesting it will be a more polished and refined version of the first film. Williams also reflected on her reading of Hannah Murray’s memoir, which detailed her experience with a wellness cult. After reading the book, Williams became more skeptical about interpreting signs in daily life, fearing it might lead to seeing divine intervention where there is only coincidence. This shift in perspective has influenced how she views the world and her own experiences. She has also spoken about the impact of her early life, including her parents’ divorce and the fear that shaped much of her childhood. These experiences were later explored in a public conversation on the Diary of a CEO podcast, which she described as a “huge, defining moment of change” for her. In recent years, Williams has focused on self-care and enjoying her personal life, including dating and spending time with friends. She has also been working on a feature film through her production company, Rapt, and is interested in collaborating with experienced directors. She co-hosts the Frank Film Club podcast and has appeared in various projects since Game of Thrones, including The New Mutants, Pistol, and The New Look. Williams also shared insights into her relationship with her family, noting that she and her siblings are not as close as they once were, with much of their connection now coming through their children. She described working with Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman on Practical Magic 2 as a positive experience, noting that they shared wisdom about relationships, including the idea that being friends with an ex is a fallacy. She is currently preparing for the film’s release, which she said will be a more refined and cinematic follow-up to the original Practical Magic.
