Which screenwriter from the original film also wrote Practical Magic 2?
Answer
Akiva Goldsman
Akiva Goldsman is the screenwriter from the original film who also wrote Practical Magic 2.
Goldsman co-wrote the screenplay for the 1998 movie and returned for the sequel. For Practical Magic 2, he is credited alongside Georgia Pritchett and Kelly Marcel.
The original film’s screenplay also credited Adam Brooks and Robin Swicord. Griffin Dunne directed the first movie, so his name belongs to the directing credit rather than the original screenplay team.
Goldsman’s return provides a direct writing connection between the two films, even though the sequel is based on a later Alice Hoffman novel rather than being a repeat adaptation of the first book.
