Wendy the Good Little Witch is a fictional comic book character from Harvey Comics. Like Casper the Friendly Ghost and Hot Stuff the Little Devil, Wendy is an opposite-type character, a girl witch who does good deeds.
In other media
Wendy made her first screen appearance in the theatrical Paramount Casper cartoon short, Which is Witch (1958), where she was voiced by Mae Questel.
In 1963, she became a frequent supporting character in the animated TV series, The New Casper Cartoon Show, and was voiced by Norma MacMillan (who also voiced Casper).
Christina Ricci's character of Kat in Universal's Casper movie was originally named Wendy in the script, but to avoid having to purchase the rights to the Wendy character, the name was changed at the last minute. The film does, however, show several hints that the character was originally Wendy, such as the red hoodie Kat wears in the film during one scene that resembles Wendy's robe from the comics.
She serves as a co-protagonist in the 1998 direct-to-video prequel movie Casper Meets Wendy. In this movie, she was portrayed by a young Hilary Duff.
TDK published a video game Wendy: Every Witch Way for the Game Boy Color in 2001.
Wendy also appears in the video games Casper: Spirit Dimensions, released in 2001 for PlayStation 2 and the following year for Nintendo Gamecube, and Casper and the Ghostly Trio, released for PS2 in 2007.
In the finale of "Harvey Girls Forever," she is mentioned by Richie Rich as a potential new resident to Harvey Street.
