Practical Magic was filmed in part on an artificial set in California. Because the film's producers decided the house was a big part of the depiction of the Owens culture, a house to accurately represent that vision was built on San Juan Island in the state of Washington. While much of the set from California was brought to that location and placed inside the house, it took nearly a year to perfect the image of the house and the interior. The house, actually only a shell with nothing inside, was built only for this filming and was torn down after filming was completed. The small town scenes were filmed in downtown Coupeville, Washington, a Victorian-era seaside port town located on the south side of Penn Cove on Whidbey Island. Nicole Kidman's work on Practical Magic and her ex-husband Tom Cruise's work on Mission: Impossible 2 were respectively delayed due to production of Eyes Wide Shut taking much longer than expected.

About the Book
Practical Magic is a novel written by Alice Hoffman. The book was first published in 1995 and is a blend of magical realism, romance, and family drama. It tells the story of the Owens sisters, who come from a long line of witches, and explores themes of love, family, and the supernatural.Author: Alice Hoffman
Alice Hoffman is an acclaimed American author known for her unique style that often combines elements of magic and realism. Her works frequently explore themes of love, loss, and the complexities of human relationships.Book vs. Film
The film adaptation of Practical Magic takes some creative liberties with the source material. While the core story of the Owens sisters and their magical heritage remains intact, the film introduces several changes in terms of plot details and character development. Some fans of the book appreciate the film's visual representation of magic and the chemistry between the characters, while others feel that the movie diverges from the novel's deeper exploration of themes and character arcs.Key Differences
- The film places a stronger emphasis on the romantic and comedic elements, whereas the book delves more into the darker and more complex aspects of the Owens family's magical legacy.
- Certain characters and subplots present in the book are either altered or omitted in the film adaptation.
- The tone of the film is generally lighter and more whimsical compared to the novel's more introspective and nuanced narrative.

So what is this movie about? Sisterly love? Personally, I thought it was about nothing at all. To tell the truth, I had little chance of liking the movie from the start because I don’t really like Kidman and Bullock. I watched it to add to my collection of witch movies I’ve watched.
