* FandomEnragingMisconception: Accusing the series of being a "rip-off" of ''Literature/HarryPotter'' is not wise unless you want to anger fans.

Jill Murphy even ran with it, notably expanding Drusilla's role in books written after the TV series. The TV movie is mostly forgotten, except for a few nostalgic fans.

** In the books there's a PlotHole regarding animal spells. Ethel can still speak when Mildred turns her into a pig in the first book, but Mildred can't when Ethel turns her into a frog in the third. The TV series fixes this when it adapts the former plot - Ethel can't speak when she's turned into a pig at all.
