Corrected entry: When Luke asks his grandmother if she had ever seen the Grand High Witch, she replies that nobody ever has. Later, in the film, at the hotel Helga sees the Grand High Witch and says there's something familiar about her. Plus, when the witches are turning into mice, Helga points to the Grand High Witch. Since Helga never saw her before, there's no way she should know exactly which of the witches was really the Grand High Witch.

Correction: Luke knew she was the Grand High Witch and told his grandmother. It's not exactly difficult to describe someone who looks like Anjelica Huston. Plus she did see her, when she distracted the cat with her yarn.

Earlier in the movie, before Luke is turned into a mouse, him and Helga are in the dining room and when Helga sees the Grand High Witch in disguise, Helga says that she looks familiar but can't seem to place her.
