Practical Magic
Year: 1998
Genre: Comedy, Drama, Fantasy, Romance

<p>In April 1998, the film crew began work in Washington, D.C., which lasted over a year. Most of the time was spent building the Owens' Victorian home. Although the action takes place in New England, the producers chose Whidbey Island and San Juan Island in Washington State. Whidbey Island was chosen because of its 19th-century atmosphere. Decades later, the coastal village of Coupeville, where filming also took place, continues to perpetuate the magical tradition and celebrate the anniversary of the witch film's release.</p>

The aunts, who loved nature, inspired the set designers to design the walls with birds and vines.
