I haven't read any except bits of Stalky long ago, but I have heard
that  Geoffrey Willans and Ronald Searle wrote and drew a couple of
school-story books named Molesworth in which "Hogwarts" appears as the
name of a school. Apparently, they are now out-of-print and highly
expensive collectibles, so I cannot check on this rumor myself.
