She feels that it\u2019s a gift and a blessing, and she respects it and has fun with it and is so connected to the spells and herbs. And Sally sees magic as being the reason that her heart has been broken. She\u2019s been shunned by the people in the town and excluded. Magic is not a part of her life,\u201d Di Novi explained.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The duo shines on set together, something Di Novi has appreciated since being on set with the two during the making of the 1998 film.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cMost sisters are very different, and it was really fun to watch Sandy and Nicole together.
