Sabrina Spellman is absolutely related to Zelda and Hilda—they're her aunts! In the original 'Sabrina the Teenage Witch' comics and later adaptations, Zelda and Hilda are her paternal aunts, who raise her after her parents' mysterious disappearance. Zelda’s the more serious, bookish one, while Hilda’s playful and mischievous, which makes their dynamic with Sabrina so fun to watch. The 90s sitcom version especially nailed their chemistry, with Zelda’s dry wit balancing Hilda’s chaos.
What’s fascinating is how different adaptations tweak their relationships. The Netflix 'Chilling Adventures of Sabrina' takes a darker turn, reimagining them as more sinister figures in a witchy cult, but they’re still family. Even in the animated 'Sabrina: Secrets of a Teenage Witch,' their roles as mentors stay central. It’s cool how these characters evolve across mediums but always keep that core familial bond.
