Then she became the fat squirrel that tried to court Merlin. She too is purple, remember ? The squirrel lady that troubles Arthur was a genuine squirrel, but Mim, who was spying on Merlin and Arthur, immediately sees the potential of ''this'' kind of troublemaking and decides to try it. On who ? On Merlin, of course ! She'd just love to see Merlin's embarrassed reaction to ''that''.

First, following the deleted scene, ''she'' caused Kay's arrow to get lost in the woods (though this turned out as a good thing later, which must have unnerved Mim immensely). Then she shapeshifted into the purple catfish Merlin and Arthur bump onto in their fish form. I mean, ''purple'' catfish ? Madam Mim was clearly spying on them. Just to cause trouble for Merlin — she ''likes'' to see Merlin in trouble, whether she actually gains anything from it or not -she transforms some harmless fish into the ferocious pike that attacks Arthur and Merlin. "What in thunder is a monster like that doing in the moat?" asks Merlin. Well, ask Madam Mim and she what she has to say.

[[WMG: Merlin and Madame Mim went to Hogwarts.]]
Even though this film was released decades before Harry Potter was published there is enough evidence to suggest Merlin and Madame Mim are former Hogwarts students. Merlin was probably a Ravenclaw as he wears blue which is one of the colours of Ravenclaw. He is very wise again suggesting Ravenclaw and prefers education to fighting again Ravenclaw. It is also possible Merlin's best subjects were Transfiguration as he is able to turn himself and Wart into all kinds of animals. He was also probably top of divination as well as he could tell what time Wart was first coming to his house and knew Wart was the future King Arthur and what the world will be like in the 20th century. Mim meanwhile was a Slytherin as she easily broke rules that she made and seemed to process dark magic as well. Like Merlin she likely excelled in Transfiguration as she can turn into not only animals but a hot looking girl as well. Plus both characters can perform non verbal spells especially when turning into animals and both can do magic without wands. This would imply both had very high grades at O.W.L and N.E.W.T level. But the pair unlike other witches and wizards live in the muggle world and it would explain why Sir Ector refuses to believe Merlin can do magic.

[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JN_2GyCc0o This deleted scene]] shows that 1° Wart is well and good King Uther's mysteriously disappeared son, and 2° Madam Mim is the only one in the land, with Merlin, who's aware of that. You may not agree, but I want to take it as canon. (After all, we do not find out in the finished version what Arthur/The Wart's origins really are, do we ?) From that point, I think Madam Mim was causing all the troubles that happened to Merlin and Arthur.

I put emphasis on the fact that Mim does all that more to trouble Merlin than anything else. She doesn't ''care'' if Arthur becomes king — well, as a CardCarryingVillain she likes the Dark Age as it is, so if you ask her she wouldn't be that favorable to Arthur crowning, but she doesn't feel personally concerned. She only starts to interest herself in Arthur ''himself'' when he happens to fall in her house in bird form.

The sword responded to him because of his motives for pulling it. All the men who had tried in the past did so because they wanted to be the king and rule over England. Wart did it in order to replace Sir Kay's sword which he had forgotten at the inn--in other words, to correct a personal mistake and fulfill a duty of service which he had taken on. Thus he marked himself as the kind of king England needed--someone who would serve the people and strive to right wrongs instead of just lording it over them like the current crop of warlords.

A point in The Sword in the Stone is that Madam Mim apparently cheats to get ahead of Merlin in the Wizard's duel. But, perhaps, she didn't, and is merely a more brilliant fighter than Archimedes gives her credit for. One would imagine the penalty for cheating with magic would be devastating to the cheater. First, she pulls a disappearing act, but who's to say she doesn't do the same thing Merlin did at the end of the fight: Transform into something minuscule to avoid being seen in order to set up for her next move (like a gnat or flea)? The rest of the time she transforms into animals like the rules state, no fireballs or anything crazy like that. And then we come to the Dragon. Merlin claims Mim said no Dragons but, in fact, she didn't. She said ''nothing make believe like Pink Dragons and stuff''. If Lancelot slew a Dragon in the Camelot Mythos, it could be that Pink Dragons are phony...but Purple Dragons are ''not''. "Did I say 'No Purple Dragons'? DID I?!" No, Mim, you did not.
