                  Ananova reports the following:

                       The Simpsons' annual Halloween episode will
include a Harry Potter spoof.

                       Every year the show features three separate
stories in its Treehouse of Horror
                       edition.

                       In Wiz Kids, the children are tutored in the 
fine
art of transforming frogs into
                       princes at the Springfield Elementary School 
for
Wizards.

                       Treehouse of Horror XII will also spoof 2001: A
Space Odyssey.

                       It will feature House of Whacks, in which a Hal
9000-style home automation
                       computer takes a fancy to Marge and decides to
dispose of Homer in the
                       process.

                       In another segment called Curse of the Dummy,
Homer becomes Death incarnate
                       following a gypsy's curse.

                       There's no word on when the episode will be 
shown
in the UK.

I wonder if the kids will be using Latin terms for these frog 
transfigurations. I guess it would be "Regis Filius", which the 
writers would probably change to "Regis Philbinus" or something like 
that.....
