Agatha Harkness is a character portrayed by Kathryn Hahn in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) media franchise based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. Harkness is depicted as a powerful witch who has long dabbled in dark magic. After murdering her original coven and failing to prevent the death of her son Nicholas Scratch, Harkness spends centuries as a conwoman, using "The Ballad of the Witches' Road" to lure in gullible witches and siphon their powers.
Most recently, Harkness infiltrates the Westview anomaly and inserts herself into Wanda Maximoff's life in hopes of unraveling the mystery of her reality-warping abilities. Once her intentions are uncovered, Harkness battles Maximoff and is trapped in a spell that overrides her identity. She spends three years in Westview playing the part of a harmless, nosy neighbor, until Billy Maximoff breaks her out of the spell. With the Salem Seven and her ex-lover Death chasing after her, Harkness forms a coven of troubled witches and sets out on the Witches' Road in search of power. Having survived the Road's trials, Harkness and Billy Maximoff face Death in battle, with Harkness sacrificing herself to save Maximoff's life. She returns as a ghost to guide Maximoff on his quest to find his twin brother Tommy.
The character made her debut in the 2021 Disney+ miniseries WandaVision, and has since appeared in its spinoff, Agatha All Along (2024). An alternate version of Agatha Harkness appeared in the third season of the animated series What If...? (2024). Hahn's portrayal of the character has received critical praise. She has earned several accolades for her performance, notably being nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award in 2021 and a Golden Globe Award in 2024.
