@dzwiedziu @macmanx I'm for real. I mean stop me if you've heard this story:
Mildred thinks she's an ordinary girl until she's told she's a witch and invited to a big castle-like school in the English countryside accessible by magic locomotive. At school, she makes two friends, get a familiar, and a blond nemesis from a wealthy witch family, who despises non-witches, the dotty old headmistress takes a shine to her. The castle halls move about...
Worst Witch began publication in 1974.

@obscurestar @dzwiedziu @macmanx and here I was thinking HP is a whitewashed ripoff of A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K Le Guin stretched out to the length of seven books.
