Tita Tovenaar is set in a castle in the clouds, where Tita the absent-minded wizard lives with his daughter Tika.

Many episodes revolve around their magic endeavours and the effect they have on the people on Earth.[1]
In the second season new characters like Kwark the sorcerer's apprentice and Grobelia the witch and her mother Grobbema made their entry.[2]
