She demonstrates the formula on Bruno Jenkins, explaining that one drop of the serum will turn the drinker into a mouse within an hour increments of the dose work faster.

In reality, the Grand High Witch reveals the existence of a new formula, which she aptly names 'Mouse Maker'. Then Grand High Witch leads her coven of witches to a local hotel under the guise of a 'Children's Protection Society'. While the mice-transformed witches run rampant around the hotel and are killed by the staff, the Grand High Witch is killed by the hotel manager, who uses a cleaver to slice her in half. In the end, the Grand High Witch suffered a somewhat fitting demise when her own magic was used against her and she (along with all of her followers, except Susan Irvine whom she banned in the celebration) is transformed into a mouse. Luke manages to steal the formula and slip it on 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 Afraid parents. This was considered to be her ultimate punishment, and the other witches were terrified of her. As 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 wipe out children once and for all.ĭuring each and every single meeting she ever attended, she would murder one of her own followers simply to keep the other witches focused.
