* MagicalAccessory: In "The Magic Earrings", Hogatha came across one half of a pair of magic earrings that she recognized could be used to track down the Smurfs, since these earrings could pick up sounds from around the world. She disguised herself as a HotWitch in order to attract Gargamel's attention to get the other half of the earrings from him, which he bought from the same traveling salesman. However, when she was being drawn to the Smurf Village by the sound of Lazy's snoring, the Smurfs, who were aware of the magic earrings Hogatha had possessed, had Harmony play his usual awful music, which drove Hogatha away and into the water, where the earrings ended up being worn by a fish that happened to swim by.
