And Maud finds that without her to help keep Mildred on her feet, Miss Cackle would have had no faith that Mildred had even prayer of ever turning around her appalling performance (nor Mildred herself for that matter) and would have expelled her that parents night after blowing up the potions lab.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Ethel, in just one case - when it comes to pushing the boat out to sea. In the book, Mildred has said she was considering using it to find the lost treasure, and Ethel pushes it out to stop her from doing so. She didn't know Tabby was on board. In the TV show, she and Drucilla push the boat out ''because'' Tabby is on board.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Drucilla has a number of moments when she disagrees with Ethel over her nasty tricks. These include expressing doubts about cheating in the summer drink project and being downright shocked at the idea of Ethel turning Mildred into a statue for no less than a few weeks, all for the purpose of winning an art competition.

* RealityEnsues: During the 2017 series, after Esmeralda was tricked into giving Agatha her powers, she tries to adjust to the normal, non-magical life, but considering she's been a witch and trained to use her powers for nearly her whole life, she does a terrible job adjusting herself to the normal life. Also she occasionally misses having her powers.

* ExpositoryThemeSong: "Growing Up Isn't Easy", sung by--of all people--''Bonnie Langford''. Yes, ''that'' [[Characters/DoctorWho Bonnie Langford]].

* FinaleCredits: Downplayed in the GrandFinale of the 2017 series. The final episode's credits has the show's theme song play one last time. At least it was enough to trigger tears of joy from the fandom.
