* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The tells for witches include them hiding their clawed hands with ConspicuousGloves, hiding their bald heads with wigs (and having sores from wearing them directly on their scalps) and squared-off feet without toes that they cram into pointed shoes anyways. While the ConspicuousGloves would still be strange, they might play bare hands off as long acrylic nails which are fashionable in the 2020s (and were before in Black and Latino communities). They wouldn't be obligated to wear wigs to maintain hair and could just write off their hairlessness as a byproduct of chemo or other causes for hair loss that they could state aren't anyone's business--and wig technology has advanced if they did want to, with wig caps and other liners. As for pointed shoes and high heels, many shoes past the 80s for women have been practical and squared off at the end anyways. Can't do anything about the blue saliva, though. Just have to eat a lot of mouth dying candies.

* AntiClimaxBoss: Despite being described as a nigh-undetectable race capable of horrible deeds, yet never getting caught, [[spoiler: it was apparently easy to turn all of the Witches in England into mice without the possibility of them using magic to reverse the transformation.]] Somewhat justified, in that the witches of the piece mainly employ potions to destroy children. The only act of magic we actually see in the book or movie is the Grand High Witch "frying" one of her subordinates. [[FridgeBrilliance With no sign of defensive magic, turning their own potion on them makes a degree of sense]].
