enchant
Captivate through magic
Enchant originally meant to cast a spell on someone, from the Latin for singing or chanting magical words.
The literal sense persists in fantasy contexts: The witch enchanted the prince.
More commonly now, enchant means to delight or captivate thoroughly: The children were enchanted by the puppet show.
Someone enchanting possesses irresistible charm.
