Gargoyles have always been an interesting thing when it comes to myth and legend. In myth they are creatures made of stone (or that can apparently assume a stone form) often with bat-like wings and a bestial form that can swoop down and harm or kill. In typical fantasy settings they are often able to pretend to be inanimate statues before striking in ambush at their prey. 

In architecture they are a carved grotesque (typically in some bestial shape or form) with a spout for water so that rainwater is carried away from the room to stop it running down walls and eroding the mortar in the masonry. Since the dark ages however there have been myths of them coming to life and doing all sorts of things - some even claimed in accounts to have seen them breathe fire. Seen originally as dark entities, folklore throughout time along with common storytelling has turned them into even more malevolent entities then originally peotrayed.

Of course in Hocus Pocus they just fly around and zap lighting. In fact, they might not even be gargoyles and instead just be generic winged monsters. I like to think of them as gargoyles though, very tough to kill gargoyles.
