The Halliwell sisters.
Charmed Ones is a phrase which refers to the main characters from the WB Network television series Charmed. The Charmed Ones are a literal sisterhood of witches who are descended from a family line dating back to the time of 17th century Wiccan Melinda Warren. This mystical heritage is referred to as the Warren line of witches.
The original Charmed Ones of the modern era were the Halliwell sisters, which included Prudence Halliwell, the oldest of the sisters, Piper Halliwell, the middle child and Phoebe Halliwell, the youngest. Prue Halliwell was murdered in 2001. Her position amongst the Charmed Ones was filled by long lost sister Paige Matthews, who shared the same mother as the Halliwell sisters, but had a different father. The Charmed Ones can harness the Power of Three, which is a conjunctive mystical effect that requires all three sisters to cast. This power is symbolized by the Triquetra, which is found within the mystic grimoire known as the Book of Shadows.

Prudence Halliwell | Shannen Doherty | Prudence Halliwell, commonly referred to as "Prue" was the firstborn child of Patty Halliwell, a witch, and Victor Bennett, a mortal. She is the older sister of Piper and Phoebe, and half-sister of Paige Matthews. Prue's birth power was telekinesis, which allowed her to move objects with her mind. |
 |
Piper Halliwell | Holly Marie Combs | Piper was originally the middle sister of the Charmed Ones, later becoming the eldest sister after her elder sister Prue died. She is the most kind, caring, and maternal of the four sisters but can also be very sarcastic and quick-witted, a trait likely acquired from years of looking up to Prue. She was also the voice of reason between Prue and Phoebe, the most devastated upon Prue's death, and the first magical mentor of Paige Matthews upon discovering the latter's place in her family. |
 |
Phoebe Halliwell | Alyssa Milano | Phoebe originally began as the youngest of the Charmed Ones, the oldest being Prudence Halliwell, and the middle sister being Piper Halliwell. After Prue's death and discovering that she had a younger half-sister, Paige Matthews, Phoebe became the middle sister and has since adjusted to her role as mediator between her sisters. |
 |
Paige Matthews | Rose McGowan | Paige is the most emotional of the four sisters and like Phoebe during the early seasons, she is spunky and sassy. Paige often fights with Piper in the early seasons when learning the Craft but later, Piper accepts Paige as her sister and gives her potion-lessons. Paige is married to a mortal cop named Henry Mitchell and she is the mother of Henry Mitchell, Jr. and twin daughters. |
