Thora Birch was 9 years old in this?


She looked soooo little for a 9 year old! According to IMDB, she was born in 1982, and this was out in 91. Weird.

She might have been eight years old since films tend to be produced a year or so before their release date. She does seem to have been a very small child though and it's hard to believe there was only four years between her and the boy who played her brother.

You're right, she was probably 8. She was still super tiny for her age. That means in Hocus Pocus she was about 10 or 11.

Wow I'm watching this right now and would've guessed she was like five or six in this movie and I always thought she was 8 or 9 in Hocus Pocus. She really was tiny for her age.

I've never fooled anyone. I've let people fool themselves.

Some people just have a youthful look. It's so trusting as a kid. But great as an adult. As a kid in the 5th grade I had our school playground monitor yell at me telling me to get back on the kindergarten play ground. Lol I was almost 10 and she thought I was 5! I'm now 40 and about 5yrs ago I was mistaken for a teenager. I'm often mistaken for a college student. I live in a college town.

Darn auto correct! It is frustrating as a kid. Not trusting. Lol
