   10 Most Powerful TV Witches, Ranked   
   BY SUZANA MIHURKO   
      
   There have been many powerful witches on television, each something special   
   in their own universe. Some of their powers are general, something most   
   witches possess, while others are specific to them. But it's all these   
   abilities combined that determine which of these witches is more powerful   
   than the others.   
      
      
   10/10   
   Melisandre - Game Of Thrones (2011 - 2019)   
      
   Melisandre from Game Of Thrones was a Red Priestess, giving her a range of   
   magical abilities. She was a formidable opponent and a powerful witch, who   
   had the ability to do blood magic, pyrokinesis, glamour magic and even delay   
   aging.   
      
   However, Melisandre takes a much more passive role in the show, almost never   
   using her powers in a fight, instead relying on powerful men to do the job   
   for her. Her powers are also not exact, as can be seen with her prophecies,   
   which are often inaccurate.   
      
      
   9/10   
   Rowena Macleod - Supernatural (2005 - 2020)   
      
   Supernatural paved the way for powerful supernatural beings on television,   
   and Rowena Macleod was one of them. She was a strong opponent of the   
   Winchester brothers, so it was a lucky thing she turned into their ally in   
   the end. She even ended up sacrificing herself for the greater good, making   
   her one of the most sympathetic villains on Supernatural.   
      
   She is immortal and is able to grant immortality to others. Her spells are   
   so powerful that humans usually die from exposure, and her abilities even   
   include self-resurrection, though she can die from natural causes.   
      
      
   8/10   
   Joanna Beauchamp - Witches Of East End (2013 - 2014)   
      
   Joanna possesses all the usual witch powers, like the ability to move things   
   with her mind, cast spells and control the weather. Her powers aren't ruled   
   by a specific aspect of her personality, and as her sister Wendy said, she's   
   "the total package" and there is nothing she can't do when at full power.   
      
   She can cast spells, even without consulting the Grimoire, and has faced   
   significant threats to her and her family. She vanquished Archibald   
   Browning, managed to kill Vidar after the talisman was no longer affecting   
   her, and killed Penelope Gardiner. The latter had to steal powers from Dash,   
   Killian and Freya to even be able to face Joanna. Many villains have stated   
   they wouldn't dare attack her directly, which speaks of how great her power   
   is.   
      
      
   7/10   
   Sabrina Spellman - Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina (2018 - 2020)   
      
   Though very young, Sabrina is portrayed as very powerful, and at some point   
   in the show, she becomes the Queen of Hell. She has all the usual witch   
   powers like spell-casting, pyrokinesis, and healing powers, but has also   
   gained the power of resurrection by demanding a sacrifice in return.   
      
   She is also one of the four witches that is able to summon hellfire and walk   
   through it without getting hurt, as is seen during her Dark Baptism. Because   
   she can resurrect the dead without consequences and is able to control   
   hellfire, this makes her one of the most powerful witches ever to exist.   
      
      
   6/10   
   Wanda Maximoff - WandaVision (2021)   
      
   Wanda is likely one of the strongest witches in all of popular culture, and   
   the scene where the MCU superhero gets her powers is one of the best. Some   
   of her known powers include reality-warping, telekinesis, psychic defenses   
   and wielding chaos magic, which she's used for good and evil. She's created   
   entire armies out of thin air, was able to cure Charles Xavier's spine and   
   created two songs with only shards of Mephisto's soul.   
      
   She single-handedly altered reality and erased the powers of all mutants,   
   which some did not survive. She's both mentally and magically unstable, and   
   often uses magic for revenge or other evil purposes. She has very little   
   control and possesses less knowledge about magic than other magic users.   
      
      
   5/10   
   The Halliwell Sisters - Charmed (1998 - 2006)   
   Piper, Prue, and Phoebe   
      
   The Power of Three is the collective power of the Halliwell Sisters and is   
   said to be the strongest kind of magic that will ever exist. Even though   
   their individual powers are still great on their own, when they're united,   
   they're at their peak power. The Power of Three needs balance and is only   
   possible due to a very specific combination of three types of powers:   
   Telekinesis, Molecular Immobilization, and the power of Premonitions.   
      
   The power makes all three highly resistant to attacks from other magical   
   beings. Though the bond does have some cons, as long as they stay on the   
   same side, their powers are among the greatest to ever exist. The con is, of   
   course, that they need to be together to call upon it.   
      
      
   4/10   
   Diana Bishop - A Discovery Of Witches (2018 - 2022)   
      
   Though Diana started the show spellbound, her powers increased greatly over   
   the course of the first season of A Discovery of Witches. According to her   
   genetic markers, she has limitless potential as a witch. Not only that - she   
   was discovered to be a weaver, which means she has the power to create new   
   spells. She also possesses unusual abilities for witches, like flying and   
   time-walking.   
      
   Later in the show, she absorbed all the information in the Book of Life,   
   which allowed her to kill Peter Knox. Besides that, she had access to the   
   tenth knot, while her pact with the goddess gave her access to goddess'   
   arrow, making her pretty much unstoppable.   
      
      
   3/10   
   Bonnie Bennett - The Vampire Diaries (2009 - 2017)   
      
   Bonnie was one of the most powerful witches in the TVD universe. Being a   
   part of the Bennett bloodline, she already had access to incredible power,   
   but given the fact that she constantly evolved, she also tapped into other   
   sources of magic during her life.   
      
   She is strongly skilled in telekinesis and pyrokinesis. Overall, fire plays   
   a significant role in her magic. In the past, she dabbled in dark magic,   
   like expression, which gave her even more power, such as bringing Jeremy   
   back from the dead. But this type of magic isn't sustainable, because it   
   breaks the balance.   
      
      
   2/10   
   Willow Rosenberg - Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997 - 2003)   
      
   Willow began dabbling in magic slowly but was soon forced to elevate it. Her   
   first bigger spell included giving Angel a soul for the second time to stop   
   him. Her powers grew after that, especially with Tara's help. She had enough   
   power to hurt hell god Glory and even brought Buffy back to life.
