Let’s ease off the vengeance in favor of some bright and happy kid witches! Today, we discuss witchly qualifications of the titular heroines of “Matilda” (book by Roald Dahl, film by Danny DeVito) and “Kiki’s Delivery Service” (by Hayao Miyazaki). ALSO: Satanism for kids, all-ages concert venues, a supportive sense of sisterhood, and, inevitably, X-Men.
