DISCWORLD MOVIE Casting Couch

Gytha (Nanny) Ogg

Nanny Ogg

Nanny can best be described as the Grandmother you didn't mind visiting when you where little and told you dirty jokes when you were in your teens.

She's also a witch in the coven of Lancre which includes, Granny Weatherwax, Magrat Garlick and sometimes Agnes Nitt.

Nanny is matriarch of the Ogg Clan in Lancre has numerous children, many grandchildren and probably heaps of great-grandchildren.

She cooks and cleans... well that's not entirely true, she inspires cooking and cleaning in others even though she is the author of "The Joye Of Snacks"

As with the other witches of Lancre she's decided that she doesn't need to use magic or that magic is somewhat beneath them.

Unless it's something really good... Heh heh heh.
