Tradition:
The Family Tradition: The Halliwell family is the descendant of the Warren line of witches that started with Melinda Warren, daughter of Charlotte Warren in the 17th century. They are the most powerful line of witches in history. One of the things that have made the Charmed Ones (five sister) and all witches in the line so strong is their bond as a family. Their bond as sisters is important because for it is directly linked to their powers. Each Warren witch would possess at least one of the four original powers: Telekinesis, Molecular Immobilization, High Stamina, and Premonition.
The Sisters:
Prudence Olivia Halliwell (played by Shannen Doherty), more commonly known as Prue, is 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 and Posie. After Prue's sisters were been born, their grandmother Penny bound their powers to keep a warlock named Nicholas from killing them and stealing said powers. The memory of having had their powers was erased by their grandmother. Shortly after their grandmothers death they regained their powers, becoming the prophesied Charmed Ones - the most powerful witches of all time. She's the witch with the most offensive powers in the family. As the oldest of five sisters, Prue is regarded as the Matriarch and leader of the family. She is also regarded as the most powerful.
(1862- Present)
Her powers include:
Astral Projection - Make a "copy" of yourself appear wherever the user desires by projecting their consciousness.
Telekinesis - It is the power to move material objects with one's mind. In its weaker state one has to use material components (aka hands) to activate it, with more practice only vision is necessary. The emotion which activated it was anger.
Telekinetic Wave - the ability to exert a blast of energy from the hands destroying anything and killing any demon in its way.
Psychokinesis- The ability to move objects that are not in one's line of sight, much stronger than conventional telekinesis
Piper Marie Halliwell (played by Holly Marie Combs), is the second born to Patty Halliwell and Victor Bennett. She is the most kind, caring, and maternal of the five sisters but can also be very sarcastic and quick-witted, a trait likely acquired from years of looking up to Prue. She is also the voice of reason between Prue and Phoebe, though can't take her own advice when it comes to Paige. She is the potion guru of the family. She is married to her whitelighter, Leo Wyatt. Her mother describes her as "the heart" of the Halliwell family. She has a son named Wyatt.
(1864- Present)
Her powers include:
Molecular Immobilization - the ability to slow down molecules and literally stop time within a certain area.
Molecular Deceleration - the magical power to slow down the molecules of an object. This power is the weaker version of Molecular Immobilization, when a good witch tries to freeze a very powerful demon or warlock; they will only be able to slow their molecules down since they are more powerful than Upper Level Demons.
Molecular Combustion - The ability to speed up molecules in an object or life form so it explodes.
Molecular manipulation - The ability to change an object's physical form.
Phoebe Katherine Halliwell (played by Alyssa Milano), is the third born to Patricia Halliwell and Victor Bennett. She is the most free spirited of the five sisters having quite left her hippie days behind. She herself plays the peacemaker between Piper and Paige, but just like her older sister can't follow her own advice. She's the spell master of the family. She is the cool bigger sister that bought you beer. She is engaged to Coop.
(1866- Present)
Her powers include:
Premonition – essentially precognition or clairvoyance. When touching an object Phoebe can feel something that happened or will happen around or with that object. Later only by entering a room, she could get a premonition.
Levitation – the ability to rise into the air and float in apparent defiance of gravity.
Empathy – the ability to read and feel others' emotions and thoughts.
Telepathy - the magical ability to read the thoughts and feelings of another being.
Deflection - a powerful magical power that allows its user to repel magical attacks when consciously activated.
Persephone Posella Halliwell (played by Meaghan Jette Martin), more commonly known as Posie, is the first daughter to Patricia Halliwell and Samuel Wilder. She is Patricia's fourth daughter. Posie was born three years before her mother's death and has very little memories of her while growing up. She is the eternal peacemaker of the family; despite her status as the middle she has had an old soul since birth. She doesn't have whitelighter abilities. Her witch powers seem to have received a huge shot of steroids though. If the family needs to know something from the book or find something specific they go to Posie or Phoebe, they practically have the thing memorized. Since she is the most attuned to nature, she can sparkle in the sunlight. This ability can be controlled meaning she can sparkle and not sparkle when she wants to.
(1867- Present)
Her powers include:
Weather manipulation - the ability to manipulate the weather in a certain area. (She cannot create the weather like Storm from X-Men.) She can only manipulate what is already present.
Thermokinesis - is the ability to manipulate the air in a specific area, by heating or cooling the air molecules.
Pyrokinesis - an elemental power that allows a being to emit or control fire.
Geokinesis - an elemental power where the user can control and/or manipulate earth, such as creating earthquakes.
Aerokinesis - an elemental power used to create and/or manipulate the very air itself.
Electrokinesis – the ability to channel and generate electricity.
Hydrokinesis – the ability to create and control water.
Cryokinesis - a powerful elemental power in which the user can create ice or extreme cold from only the moisture in the air by creating frosty ice particles. Not to be confused with Ice Stasis.
Flaming - A rare way of teleporting by engulfing your body in harmless flames.
Paige Matilda Halliwell (played by Rose McGowan), is the second daughter born to Patricia Halliwell and Samuel Wilder, a white lighter. She is Patricia's fifth daughter overall. Paige is not like her full sister, Posie. Her whitelighter abilities were magnified not her wiccan ones. Paige is the most emotional of the five sisters and like Phoebe has her spunky and sassy moments. Out of all the sisters she is best at scrying. Besides being a witch she also is a whitelighter and has the powers and responsibilities as such.
(1868- Present)
Her powers include:
Telekinetic orbing - the ability of telekinesis but orbing and orbing the object place to place.

Omilingualism - the ability to understand and speak any language without training in it.
Reconstitution - the ability to pull yourself back together again after being blown up. Presumably works as a reaction to actually being blown up rather than the owner having to make a conscious decision about it.
Telepathic and empathic connection with charges
The Halliwell Family Men:
Leonardo Wyatt (played by Brian Krause), known as Leo, is the husband of Piper Halliwell, and the Whitelighter of the Charmed Ones.
Leo was sent by the Elders as the Whitelighter of the Charmed Ones. Because he wasn't supposed to reveal himself as a Whitelighter to them yet, Leo got a job from the sisters as a handyman fixing up their old house. Phoebe and Piper immediately became attracted to him. As Leo worked on their house, Piper and Phoebe competed for his attention.
Although Piper and Leo started dating and consummated their relationship, he had to leave her because relationships between witches and Whitelighters were heavily frowned upon (but he did not tell her that, because she was unaware of his status as a whitelighter). Leo was forced to take another charge, but he watched over and guided the Charmed Ones on many occasions.
When Leo returned, Phoebe and Posie then discovered him using his levitation to change a light bulb and he confessed the truth to the sisters.
A Whitelighter is a like a Guardian Angel for witches, mortals that will become Whitelighters and others beings that have a key role to play in some future event. The Elders are a Whitlighter's bosses. If we are going on the Angel path as a way to describe them, then Elders are a Higher Choir than the working class Whitelighter. Pretty much it's the difference between blue and white collar.

Coop (played by Victor Webster) is a Cupid and is engaged to Phoebe. Cupids are a race of magical beings, associated with love. Being a Cupid, Coop has a plethora of powers at his disposal, such as Fading, Immortality and Empathy however with the power of his ring he is able to do much more. Coop demonstrated that with his ring he was able to control time, freezing it when needed and using it to travel through time to find love.
His powers are:
Fading - The ability to teleport in the form of energy.
Empathy – the ability to read and feel others' emotions and thoughts. His is more advanced than Phoebe's, because he can control emotions.

Wyatt Matthew Halliwell (played by Jason and Kristopher Simmons) is the son of Charmed One Piper Halliwell (Holly Marie Combs) and her husband Leo Wyatt (Brian Krause), her Whitelighter (a witch's guardian angel). He is three months old. Wyatt is the prophesied Twice-Blessed Child, a being of unimaginable power. He is the first born of a Charmed One, the first male born to his line in generations, delivered under special astrological circumstances, and an inheritor of Whitelighter abilities.

He also has the ability to wield Excalibur, a magical sword, and his powers are probably not limited to these.
They each have a mental shield and they are all immortal. Even Wyatt will be when he reaches a certain age. This happened because of the vanquish of the nexus infected all future generations of the Halliwell line with immortality. The Charmed Ones were also infected.
