Madame Leota from The Haunted Mansion

Mama Odie from The Princess and The Frog

A New Blind Witch from Hansel and Gretel

Mombi or a different witch from the Oz Series

The Dutchess from Alice in Wonderland OR Yzma from The Emperor's New Grove OR Madam Mim from The Sword in the Stone (basically we need a witch that deals in transforming humans into animals, and all three of these do)

Thoughts?

Thanks for saying where they are from, I couldn't remember Mama Odie from the movie, then I realized it was that one character. Very good guess as Tiana needs her related witch. Leota is basically confirmed. I agree with one being an existing character like Alice or Robin, or how potentially Regina and Zelena might try ti infiltrate into the coven in present day, but obviously they aren't the witches from the 7x10 flashback. I really hope for a new Blind Witch and Mombi since we have an Hansel & Gretel centric as well as a Zelena (Oz related) centric.

Anyway, it seems a great line up, full of variety! Much better than what they did in season 5 with the hooded dark ones who did nothing and added nothing to the plot, and we didn't even know their identities.
