Sabrina: 5 Characters Who Have Grown A Lot (& 5 Who Haven’t)
The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina is three seasons deep and a lot has changed. Power dynamics have shifted drastically, new alliances have formed, and old ones have been broken. The town of Greendale is constantly on the verge of crisis, whether that be Satanic or hormonal. Suffice it to say, Sabrina's day to day life looks a whole lot different than it did way back in season 1.
Nothing in this show is stagnant, as every member of the Fright Club and Coven has gone through some level of growth. Nonetheless, certain people have grown noticeably more than others. Here's a look at characters who have grown the most compared to those who have grown the least.
10 Grown A Lot: Hilda
Hilda has always been the more likeable of Sabrina's two aunts. She's kind, thoughtful, and always sees the best in Sabrina, even when she is at her worst. Earlier on in the show, Hilda had a tendency to come across as a bit of a pushover. Hilda seemed a little naive and she easily submitted to her strong-willed sister, Zelda.
Despite her soft exterior, Hilda has proven to be one of the most powerful members of the Spellman family. She has saved the day several times, particularly whenever a foe underestimated her. Furthermore, as her love with Dr. Z blossomed, Hilda has shown a never-before-seen level of self-confidence.
9 Hasn't Grown: Zelda
The same level of growth has not been evident in the other Spellman auntie, Zelda. To put it plainly, Zelda has been a boss since day one. She knows what she wants and she will stop at nothing to get it. Zelda is ruthless, and there's no reason for her to change much about that as she has been successful, for the most part.
Despite her failed relationship with Faustus Blackwood, Zelda hasn't learned a thing about her over-ambition. She remains the same arrogant matriarch that she's always been. To be fair, that's kind of her whole appeal anyways.
8 Grown A Lot: Harvey
Harvey has faced a tremendous amount of ups and downs over Sabrina's 3 seasons. Among his biggest challenges are his abusive father, losing his brother, a messy break up with Sabrina, and his struggle against the toxic masculine ideals that surround him. Once a young kid with a big heart, Harvey has grown into a much more doubtful young man.
It would appear that Harvey has turned a new leaf in the season 3 finale, having finally fully moved on from Sabrina. It's still unclear what the future hold for Harvey, but here's hoping that his relationship with Ros really is "endgame," as Sabrina puts it.
7 Hasn't Grown: Ambrose
Maybe Ambrose hasn't grown a lot because he is perfect just the way he is. He's a powerful witch, a fantastic researcher, and a loyal ally to those he loves. Despite having gone through many traumas, ranging from an extended house-arrest to being falsely accused of murder and consequently tortured, Ambrose still remains the strong-headed Spellman that he has always been.
Ambrose has a rebellious spirit, much like his cousin Sabrina. Though unlike Sabrina, he is a fantastic strategist and problem-solver. Ambrose always knows how to find the answer when the Spellmans are in a bind.
6 Grown A Lot: Prudence
Who would have thought that Prudence would ever end up as an ally to the Spellmans? Her relentless torture of Sabrina during the first season made her one of those characters that viewers just love to hate. Yet she's grown into one of the more sympathetic characters on the show, despite her cruel nature.
Prudence has faced a lot of challenges that have forced her to grow. Father Blackwood's rejection certainly had affected her loyalty to the high priest, as well as her near-death experience at the hands of witch hunters. Her relationship with Ambrose is one that will surely evolve in the coming seasons, though the most recent finale has set up a turbulent future ahead of the duo.
5 Hasn't Grown: Faustus Blackwood
Despite having been bested multiple times by the Spellmans, Faustus' attitude towards them has only gotten worse. The man is more power-hungry than ever in his final moments of season 3. As if thwarting the Spellman's wasn't enough, Blackwood may have just set on motion the end of the world.
Blackwood has been an arrogant misogynist from the beginning, and he has yet to learn his lesson. He makes for a great antagonist, though he does seem pretty like pretty small potatoes next to other villains from the show.
4 Grown A Lot: Roz
Roz has faced some of the more frightening changes out of any character on the show. As if slowly going blind wasn't scary enough, she also had to deal with intrusive and frightening premonitions to go with it. She's grown from being scared of magic, to fully embracing and mastering her powers.
And throughout all of that, she remains to be a loyal and loving friend. Roz is always willing to help her friends, whether that be through advice or action. Her various struggled have only made her stronger than she was before.
3 Hasn't Grown: Lilith
Lilith is the type of person who is always scheming, and it's unclear what her goals are until she's achieved them. She's only an ally when it benefits her, and she's never one to make a sacrifice for anybody. She's is a powerful, self-serving, mother of demons.
Because of her experience, she makes for a hell of an ally when she needs to. Nonetheless, it's hard to trust anything she does, as she is quick to double-cross even Lucifer himself if it serves her in any way.
2 Grown A Lot: Theo
Theo has had the most inspiring and well-executed character arcs in recent television. He's had to put up with a lot of suffering, from relentless bullying to painful dysphoria. Seeing him grow more confident in himself and come out as Theo is hands down the most magical moment on the show.
Theo has always been kind-hearted and well-meaning, though timid and withdrawn in earlier episodes. It's extremely satisfying to see him grow into the truest version of himself–whether that's getting on the basketball team or falling in love.
1 Hasn't Grown: Sabrina
Now, Sabrina has changed a lot, but she hasn't exactly grown. She's become one of the most powerful forces on the show and successfully usurped Lucifer's throne. She's learned a lot about the worlds of witchcraft and dating, but she remains the same old Sabrina that fans have grown to love.
From day one Sabrina has been an impulsive force of nature. She always acts before she thinks, as she isn't much of a strategist. Always eager to save lives and break the rules while she's doing it, Sabrina still has a lot of growing to do.
