Maisie Williams discusses character portrayal in Practical Magic 2

Maisie Williams has discussed her approach to playing the character Antonia Owens in the film Practical Magic 2. Williams stated that she portrayed the character as a sapphic icon, despite the screenplay not explicitly defining the character's sexuality.

While the sequel's source material, Alice Hoffman’s The Book of Magic, includes an explicit lesbian storyline for Antonia, the film version leaves the identity implicit. Williams noted that her performance uses gesture and behavior to carry this aspect of the character, reconciling Antonia's logical, science-focused worldview with her family's magical heritage.
