Wendy the Good Little Witch is a fictional comic book character from Harvey Comics. Like Casper the Friendly Ghost and Hot Stuff the Little Devil, Wendy is an opposite-type character, a girl witch who does good deeds.
Personality[]
Like Casper who doesn't like to scare people (except for bullies), Wendy is also kind, sweet and generous who only uses her magic to bring happiness, peace and joy, instead of being wicked like other witches.
In other media[]
Wendy made her first screen appearance in the theatrical Paramount Casper cartoon short, Which is Witch (1958). She was voiced by Mae Questel.
In 1963, she became a frequent supporting character in the animated TV series, The New Casper Cartoon Show, and was voiced by Norma MacMillan (who also voiced Casper).
Christina Ricci's character of Kat in Universal's Casper film was originally named Wendy in the script, but to avoid having to purchase the rights to the Wendy character, the name was changed at the last minute. The film does, however, show several hints that the character was originally Wendy, such as the red hoodie Kat wears in the film during one scene that resembles Wendy's robe from the comics.
She serves as a co-protagonist in the 1998 direct-to-video prequel film Casper Meets Wendy, where she was portrayed by Hilary Duff.
TDK published a video game Wendy: Every Witch Way for the Game Boy Color in 2001.
Wendy also appears in the video games Casper: Spirit Dimensions, released in 2001 for PlayStation 2 and the following year for Nintendo Gamecube, and Casper and the Ghostly Trio, released for PS2 in 2007.
Wendy is mentioned by Richie Rich in the finale of Harvey Girls Forever as a potential new resident to Harvey Street.
Trivia[]
- Wendy is possibly in inspiration of Glinda the Good Witch of the North.
