The original Practical Magic was American through and through – visually, atmospherically, emotionally. The Owens house was a grand Gothic Victorian built specifically for the film on a bluff above Penn Cove in Coupeville, Washington, on Whidbey Island. It doesn't exist anymore, it was dismantled after filming wrapped. What remains is the bluff, the view, and a small town that has never quite gotten over the whole thing – and now celebrates an annual "Practically Magic Halloweekend" every October. The sequel doesn't go back. The Owens family travels to Europe, following the origins of their curse, and the production followed the story.
The heart of Practical Magic 2's production is Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden. Most of the film was made here, all interior scenes in a rebuilt Owens family house.
But not all of the London filming happened at Leavesden. The also filmed around The Hamptons Hall on Sherbrooke Way at The Hamptons in Worcester Park – a quiet suburban neighbourhood, with 645 home mixed development set around 30-acres of parklands and communal green space set in the London Borough of Sutton, about twelve miles southwest of central London. Sandra Bullock was spotted filming here with Dianne Wiest, who returns as Aunt Jet Owens.
