Lewis Barnavelt (Owen Vaccaro) is a young boy with no options. As his parents are dead, he has to travel to meet his estranged uncle, Jonathan (Jack Black).
Eccentric is the kindest word to describe Jonathan – many would call him downright odd. But his unusual behaviour is explained by the fact that he’s actually a warlock (though he is not a very good one). His next-door neighbour and best friend, Mrs Zimmerman (Cate Blanchett), is also a witch, and much better at it than Jonathon.
