Laurel and Hardy's hats are bowlers.  There is something Ollie-ish about 
Fudge, isn't there?  Or am I just under the influence of Jim Dale?  (BTW, 
someone was wondering about his reading as vs. Fry's.  I loved it--it was 
the way I first encountered the books, a dear person at work lent me all 4 
on tape because I commute a long way--but if you like a very straight, 
unaccented reading, skip them.  He really acts out each character.  I was 
very, very impressed.  As soon as someone starts talking you know who it is 
just from the voice.  One other caveat:  he is British but reads the U.S. 
versions.)

I got curious about the difference between a bowler and a derby so I looked 
them up.  According to the American Heritage Dictionary they're the same 
thing.
