Molesworth at Hogwarts

Post by Trapper »

In all probability no one else here has read the Molesworth books:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigel_Molesworth
[on grown ups] "Grown ups are what's left when skool is finished."
Trivia
J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter books, may have taken the name Hogwarts from the Molesworth books. The name features in one of Molesworth's imitation Latin plays, while Hoggwart is also the name of the headmaster of Porridge Court, a rival school of St Custard's.
But if anyone has read them, or even if you haven't, you might find the following link funny.

(I love the picture of Hermione :lol: )
