2. The story
Charmed is
the story of three sisters : Prue, Piper and Phoebe
who lived their childhood with their mother and after her death
with their grand-mother. Their father left the family's house when they were
very young because their grandmother thought that he was
unable to bring them up. They had a really difficult relationship.
Everything
started during a stormy night in San Francisco. Piper and
Prue live in the manor where they have always been
living. Phoebe, left it after her grandmother death to go and live in New York
far away from her sisters with who she has a difficult relationship (especially
with Prue).
 |
Phoebe returns from New York to San Francisco to live with
his sisters because of money problems. But Prue, the
elder one, does not want to because she does not get along with Phoebe. Prue
accuses her young sister of going out with the man Prue wan engaged to even
if Phoebe always denied her version. Piper has to
manage her sisters' moods and plays the intermadiate to avoid all the
problems she can.
The night of her arrival, Phoebe enjoys herself with the
spirit board of her mother. But the arrow -which
surprised Phoebe- wrote the
word 'attic'. So she decides to go to the attic even
if the attic is supposed to be definitively closed.
She succeeds in opening the door, opens a trunk and finds a big book.
She opens it and quickly discovers that it is a book of sorcery.
She reads the first spell of this book and, without knowing it, she gives
back to her and her sisters their powers. The Power Of Three was born. Prue, Piper
and Phoebe will now have to learn how
to use their powers with all the problems that it engenders.
They have to fight against the demons for the Good to reign
on Earth. But they also have to hide their powers. |
|
After a
three years life of witches, Prue dies killed by a Demon called Shax.
Piper and Phoebe are now alone :
the Power Of Three is broken. Piper,
despaired by her sister's death, tries all the spells she knows to make her
sister come back. But none worked. Instead, the spells, brought Phoebe and
Piper with their half-sister : Paige Matthews. Paige
is the daughter of their mother -Patty- and of her Whitelighter : Sam.
Piper and Phoebe acheived to
convince Paige to join them in their fight against Evil. From now, Paige's
life totally changed.
The new Power Of Three was born and can continue the fight. |

The real story of the manor
 |
In the
opposite of what we might think, the manor has not been built for Charmed.
He was built in 1960 for Alfred Hitchcock's
famous movie Psycho. From this moment, the manor's owner
changed and some modifications were made. So the manor that was used is
Psycho is not the same as the one we often see in
Charmed. He is situated in a street of Oakland,
a town near San francisco. But this
is not this real manor that is used in Charmed. Indeed, the Charmed's
crew imagined and built all the rooms in a studio in Los Angeles where the
show is shot. On the other hand, the exteriors scenes are shot in Oakland. |
