On a lighter note...

Surely the song Bones sings about things you can do with Hedgehogs has to be the Discworld one Nanny Ogg sings.

I won't link to any versions of it because some people might be offended.

It certainly counts as embarrassing for the challenge. I think I'd blush if I had to sing it publicly.

What if in their world Pratchett is a wizard? Writing a fiction about a muggle dominated society.
He pokes gentle fun at Hogwarts via the Unseen University.
And muggle beliefs in the non wizard books. Some wizards might even believe that's the way the muggle world works.
Hell, if it's set in the headmaster Dumbledore era, the Powers that be are hardly going to mind those Professor wizards looking stupid.

Maybe PTerry is a leading author in the Protectorate? ;)

Wizard, yes, easily convincable. Leading author or the Protectorate? That's a bit harder sell; something tells me V is not fond of political satire.
