W.I.T.C.H. is a European animated television series based on the Italian comic book series of the same name. The series was produced by SIP Animation in association with and participation from Jetix Europe, The Walt Disney Company, France 3 and Super RTL. Like the comic, the show follows five girls: Will, Irma, Taranee, Cornelia and Hay Lin who have magical powers which they use to fulfill their duties as "Guardians of the Veil". The names of these five characters form the titular acronym, despite the characters not actually being witches. The series is set in the fictional city of Heatherfield and various mythical planets, namely Meridian and Zamballa. W.I.T.C.H. premiered on 18 December 2004 on ABC Family and concluded on 23 December 2006.
Will arrives at the town of Heatherfield. Her classmate Hay Lin invites her, Irma, Taranee and Cornelia to lunch, where her grandmother, Yan Lin, reveals to the girls their true powers, and passes to Will the mystical Heart of Candracar. Meanwhile, in Meridian, Caleb, the leader of the Rebellion against the evil Prince Phobos, is running for his life after a failed attempt at a storage raid. He leaps through a portal, interrupting the new Guardians' first training session. Overcome with fear, Will does not close the portal until one of Phobos' servants, Lord Cedric, drags Caleb through.
Irma, Taranee, Cornelia and Hay Lin must travel to Meridian after Will is captured by Cedric and Vathek. They cannot transform without Will, who dropped the Heart of Kandrakar in the struggle. The Heart leads them to find its keeper. The girls make their way through Meridian, finding Will's pit-like prison, where she is kept with Caleb and a smelly creature named Blunk. They throw the Heart down to Will and transform to escape the castle. A one-eyed Gargoyle ambushes them at the portal, pulling Irma back, but Will closes the portal on his hand. In the end, Hay Lin names the girls W.I.T.C.H.
Caleb discovers that Blunk took the key he was supposed to leave behind in Meridian for Vathek, so the girls go back to Meridian to return the key. Cedric and Phobos discover that Vathek is a spy for the rebel army. They plant the key on General Raythor so that he, instead of Vathek, will be thrown into the Abyss of Shadows. In the B-story, Hay Lin decides to create some new clothes for Caleb to help him blend in on Earth.
It is Will's thirteenth birthday and she does not want a party. The girls manage to throw one anyway and everything is going well until Cedric shows up at City Hall looking for birth certificates for a certain teenage girl.The girls sneak away from the party and battle Cedric at City Hall. He flees, saying he has found what he needs. In the B-Story, Yan Lin gives her granddaughter a map of the portals.
While helping out on Community Service Day, Will and Hay Lin find strange Meridian graffiti which the Mage identifies as belonging to a beast living in Heatherfield in human form. Will suspects her History teacher, Professor Collins, who is dating her mom. The girls form a plan to force the suspected monster into revealing his true form. It turns out Collins is not the beast. They fly him back home, accidentally dropping him onto trampolines and into swimming pools on more than one occasion. In the B-story, Cornelia's little sister torments her, but Cornelia gets her back in the end.
The students at Sheffield Institute get their midterm results; everybody is happy with their grades except Taranee. Cedric's disguise as a bookseller attracts Cornelia, Elyon, Irma, Taranee, and Hay Lin to the store to look for history books and to admire Cedric. While in the bookstore, the W.I.T.C.H. girls inadvertently touch an inversion point and find themselves in the middle of a Labyrinth inside Phobos' castle. Blunk, who was in the store at the time, manages to get word to Will. Will and Caleb launch a rescue mission. Meanwhile, the others are smuggled out of the castle by a kitchen worker named Trill, who tells them about Phobos' sister. The Tracker, a hunter working for Phobos, arrives and chases the girls through the woods until Will shows up with the Heart. They quickly defeat the Tracker. In the B-story, Caleb starts work at the Silver Dragon restaurant.
The W.I.T.C.H. girls and Elyon go on a school skiing trip to show up Sondra, a Swiss exchange student who seems to have mesmerized all the boys at Sheffield. Sondra steals Matt from Will, and the two girls compete in a one-on-one skiing competition. Will tries to cheat by skiing in her guardian form (with a coat and hat to cover it up). Hay Lin flies above her and uses her powers to keep Will steady. Unknown to them, Phobos wants to take advantage of this trip to divide them and separate the other four Guardians from Will and the Heart of Kandrakar. The girls defeat the plan and find out that Sondra is not a Swiss exchange student at all, but an ordinary girl who tries to steal all the boys. The girls (and Elyon) are pleased when Sondra sprains her ankle. In the B-story, Caleb is trying to show the girls that he can have fun.
Phobos and Cedric start a rumour about the Seal of Phobos to trap Caleb with a sand monster called Sandpit. He tries to find out whether or not there is a spy in the castle. In the B-story, the W.I.T.C.H do a performance at the school, but after discovering Caleb is in danger, they create Astral Drops. After the real girls leave, the Astral Drops ruin the performance.
Prince Phobos sends the Tracker after Caleb in an effort to recapture the rebel leader. Meanwhile, the girls try to go see a movie starring their favorite actor. They struggle to save Caleb and still get to the show on time. In the B-story, Will and Hay Lin's parents won't let them go to the cinema; Will is grounded and Hay Lin's parents are overprotective.
While trying to capture the feeling of the Middle Ages at the art museum for their school carnival, Will, Taranee, Cornelia, and Hay Lin get sucked into the painting they are studying. Unbeknownst to the girls, Phobos knows they are trapped and sends Frost the Hunter after them. The girls escape with the help of Elias Van Dahl, the imprisoned artist of the painting. Irma, Caleb and Blunk have to stall for time at the Medieval Carnival and figure out how to get the girls back to Heatherfield. Cedric and his goon platoon enter the painting to get the Heart of Kandrakar and Hay Lin paints furiously to get away. Irma and Caleb rescue the girls from the painting salvage the school carnival thanks to the number of people they brought back with them from the painting.
Phobos has finally found an indisputable way to find his long lost sister: the Star of Threbe. The Silver Dragon, Hay Lin's family's restaurant in Heatherfield, is threatened when Blunk stinks up the joint with his new home: a garbage dumpster. While the girls try to give Blunk a bath, Cedric places the Star in his window shop and Elyon walks in and takes it. Now when the girls try to change back, they find themselves stuck in Guardian form and powerless. Not knowing what to do, the girls race back to the Silver Dragon to enlist Yan Lin and Caleb's assistance. In the meantime, Cedric sends a monster plant to Earth to tie up the Guardians while he makes contact with the Princess. The girls are forced to fight without their powers until the Princess returns the Star to Cedric, and the girls regain their powers. Phobos and Cedric have who they're looking for; she just doesn't know it yet.
Elyon is unknowingly Phobos's sister and the true heir to the throne of Meridian. Vathek overhears Phobos and Cedric's plans to capture her and hurries to tell Caleb. He ends up running for his life when Cedric comes to stop him. Vathek and Blunk escape to Earth with Cedric and a Larvek hot on their heels. Vathek relates the news to Caleb, who tells the Guardians. They go after Elyon to keep her safe from Cedric's clutches. They have to stop Larvek from eating Vathek. Elyon slips off in a bad mood after her new boyfriend dumps her. She heads back to her place of comfort: Cedric's bookshop.
Phobos is preparing the Ritual of Amalgamation. He needs symbols of Elyon's body, mind, and spirit. Cedric takes her hairbrush, and A+ math test, and tries to take her breath. Meanwhile, Martin catches a glimpse of a Hermeneuta beast from Meridian. The only thing that will get him away long enough for the girls to send it back home is a date with Irma. Catching the little beast is not easy, especially when the mom shows up. Cedric finally captures Elyon's breath in a balloon and all that's left is to take her to Meridian. In the B-story, Irma is angry when she finds out she must work on the newspaper with Martin. Blunk is assigned to keep an eye on Elyon.
It's parents' night at the school, and Hay Lin is very excited, but not Elyon. She feels that Cedric is the only one who understands her, not her friends, and especially not her family. When Elyon does family tree research for school, her parents do not have any pictures of her other relatives. Elyon thinks that it is because they do not care about her. Cedric reveals to Elyon that her parents are beasts, and that she is the Princess of Meridian. Elyon is confused but goes to Meridian, her original home.
Elyon adjusts to her new life as the Princess of Meridian living in Phobos' castle, although she is still under the illusion that Phobos has created. Meanwhile, Cornelia gets upset about losing Elyon to Cedric and Phobos and she quits being the Earth Guardian. Phobos uses this to his advantage to pull a 'divide and conquer' move on Will, Irma, Taranee and Hay Lin. Phobos sends the mudslugs to go after Will, Irma, Taranee, Hay Lin, Caleb, and Blunk. Without Cornelia, the girls are powerless to defeat the mudslugs and their mother. Thanks to radio, Cornelia returns to being the Earth Guardian and defeats the mudslugs.
Will and the rest of the girls try to tell Elyon the truth about Phobos and Meridian, but that becomes very hard when Phobos teaches his sister to make ghostly images of herself to confuse her former friends and the rebels. The real Elyon is upset that she didn't bring her sketchbook from Earth, so Phobos sends Lurdens through a portal to her old bedroom to fetch it. The creatures also trash a stash of chocolate, and Blunk is able to use the scent to track them to Phobos's and Elyon's secret Meridian mountain hideout. The Guardians and Caleb search for Elyon under the mountain but are ambushed by Lurdens. Forced into the open, they battle Cedric on the mountainside before returning to Earth, no closer to warning Elyon of the terrible danger. In the B-story, Will needs some privacy. In order to save Elyon, the girls trick their parents into thinking they are having a sleepover party, but Will is grounded for having a mess in her room.
Phobos sends shape-shifting monsters into Meridian to pose as and discredit the Guardians so Elyon will lose what little trust she has left in her friends. While the real Guardians do battle with the evil twins, Cornelia and Caleb try to persuade Elyon that Phobos is not as good as she believes, but she will not listen. Caleb does something to shake Elyon's faith in her new brother: he bows to her. Unnerved by this, Elyon is starting to suspect that Phobos is not telling her everything. Caleb takes the Book of Secrets and there are the plans for Elyon.
Caleb discovers that fellow rebels have been turned into zombified Trance Marchers by the sound of a magical object called the Horn of Hypnos. Thanks to the Horn, Phobos and Cedric now use the rebels as a workforce. Blunk steals the Horn and brings it back to Earth, and the trance spreads to Heatherfield. The Guardians are called in to help save the Horn's victims on School Dance night. Only a specific melody can break the spell, but how long will Will, Irma, Taranee, Cornelia and Hay Lin be able to resist the entrancing sound of the Horn of Hypnos? Hay Lin gets turned into a Trance Marcher. The only way they can get her to stop slamming them into a wall is to pull the plug on her power. In the B-story, Will is happy when she finds out that she will go to School Dance night with Matt.
Phobos uses the knowledge that Caleb's father is alive to lure Caleb and the Guardians to the Underwater Mines for an ambush. Hay Lin hears the guards whispering, which allows the group's unimpeded access to the mines. The element of surprise is soon lost and the group is on the move. Cedric floods the mine and sends the group plus Caleb's dad on a mine cart ride to the main shaft. Once there, they use the guardroom to float to the surface and come face-to-face with Cedric and a platoon of guards. Cedric tries to go after Caleb and the miners stranded in the remains of the guardroom, but Irma and Hay Lin freeze Cedric with a flash-frozen bubble. Phobos sits in his castle, thinking he has taken care of the major thorns in his side, until the girls show up with the last laugh in his scrying pool. In the B-story, W.I.T.C.H, Caleb, and Blunk try to open the Book of Secrets.
The Seal has been lost ever since the mysterious woman who rescued Elyon as a baby used it to create a portal and escape. While hiding from Lurdens in the sewers, Blunk finds an amulet to add to his junk collection, which turns out to be the Seal of Phobos. Unknowingly, he creates many portals while strolling around Heatherfield. Meanwhile W.I.T.C.H. are at a rollerskating race. They find the portals when Irma crashes uncontrollably through bushes. Back in Meridian, Caleb is trying to evade a search party, but is trapped when all the portals created by Blunk are closed by the Heart of Kandrakar. Cedric is gaining on him. When the girls find Blunk, unforeseen circumstances lead to the merging of the two magical items. W.I.T.C.H. uses the Heart's new ability to open portals to save Caleb. Will then uses the Heart and the Seal of Phobos to open the Book of Secrets, and everybody finds out Phobos' plan.
Caleb learns that Elyon's adoptive parents, the Browns, are being held in the forbidding underground prison at Cavigor. He and the Guardians plot a difficult escape: while a distraction from above draws guards upwards, Cornelia will tunnel in from the Infinite City below. But one slip and Phobos will discover the rebels' secret subterranean hideout.
When Caleb's best friend Aldarn accidentally becomes hypnotized by Elyon and agrees to sign a peace treaty, Caleb has to fight him for the position of leader. Meanwhile, after leaving their baking duties for the school bake sale to Blunk, the Guardians enter a trap filled with Larveks and they must defeat them before the rebels get eaten.
Cedric blocks the village's water source in the hopes that thirsty Meridianites will break down and reveal the location of the rebels secret hideout. There is fresh water in a nearby lake inhabited by an elusive creature called the Kaithim, which the Guardians have to battle. Cedric discovers the entrance to the Infinite City just before Vathek is able to seal his comrades inside. Aldarn, separated from Caleb and with limited food before the City is inevitably overtaken, makes a tactical decision to charge the Castle. Caleb and the Guardians join the premature attack but the uprising fails when Elyon uses her intense power. Many rebels, including Aldarn and Caleb's father, are thrown in Phobos' dungeons. In the B-story, Hay Lin has recurring nightmares about being Elyon and trapped on a throne.
Caleb makes plans for the escape of the rebels captured by Phobos in the abortive battle of the Meridian Plains. With Blunk's help, Caleb tries to map the tunnel system to the castle's dungeon, but the reconnaissance mission goes wrong and Blunk is left behind on Meridian. Looking for the Passling, Caleb and the Guardians find and save a Castle Guard wounded in battle and left for dead by Cedric. When the Guard, Tynar, sees Earth and the girls' concern for his recovery, he switches loyalties and promises to guide them through the complex subterranean passageways into the dungeons where the rebels from the uprising are being held. The daring raid frees the rebels, and Tynar begins spreading the word among Phobos's guards that the other side of the Veil is not as they've been told. Back in Heatherfield, Will impulsively kisses Matt, who has offered her a pet dormouse named Mr Huggles earlier in the episode, but gave it to Irma because of her mother.
In Meridian, the Infinite City occupied by Phobos' guards leaves a thousand rebels with nowhere to hide while Elyon, though shaken by the sight of monstrous Lurdens working in her castle, is still unaware of what is being planned for her coronation. Caleb and the Guardians have to get close enough to warn her, but they can't do it without the Heart of Kandrakar, which has been stolen by Jeek, an evil Passling who has put the blame on Blunk. Matt accidentally follows Caleb and the girls through a portal. Matt discovers Will, Irma, Taranee, Cornelia, and Hay Lin's secret.
In Meridian, Elyon is at the full potential of her powers and excitedly prepares for tomorrow's coronation. Phobos and Cedric talk out of her earshot: The coronation was changed to today; Phobos will drain Elyon's powers. Meanwhile in Heatherfield, Caleb has finally figured out with the Guardians' help a way to get his men across the Meridian Plains unseen. He immediately commences the attack after Cornelia senses that Elyon is in danger. Phobos reveals his true evil self to Elyon, which greatly shocks and scares her. He ties her to the throne to absorb her powers. But the Guardians, the rebels, Matt, Blunk and some guards of Phobos converted by Tynar begin the invasion. The Guardians and Caleb's troops have the advantage until Phobos, who manages to steal some of Elyon's powers, comes and turns the tables on them. Just before he can take the Heart of Kandrakar from Will, Elyon (rescued by Cornelia) arrives and turns the tide of the battle. With Elyon's help, Phobos is defeated and imprisoned along with Cedric and all of his monsters in the Mage's chamber in the Infinite City. The Guards are forgiven and Elyon becomes ruler of Meridian. In the B-story, Irma gives Mr. Huggles to Hay Lin.

The Guardians are faced with an old enemy, Frost the Hunter, who followed them to Earth.

She frees Miranda, Gargoyle, the Tracker, Sandpit, and Raythor. Miranda betrays Phobos and does not free him. Nerissa and the others meet Frost. Now the enemies who Nerissa released are called Knights of Vengeance.
The Knights of Vengeance attack Meridian and begin targeting those who betrayed their former master. Back on Earth, Will gives Cornelia a cat, but Cornelia gives it to her younger sister Lillian. Just before Lillian names the cat Napoleon, the Guardians are called to another realm, Kandrakar, and learn of their new status as the Guardians of the Infinite Dimensions, after the Veil's lifting.
