Everyone loves to get dressed up at Halloween. There’s plenty of options to choose from: the mummy, the ghost, the vampire and even Frankenstein’s Monster.

It’s pretty easy to get the witch look: pointy hat, broomstick and the ability to cackle in a loud and evil way when you go trick or treating with your grown up. What kind of witch would you be?

But how well do you know witches? Would you be described as a witch professor, if there were such a thing? There’s only one way to find out, and that’s by taking this witch quiz which will really sort out the witch experts from the armchair fans.
