I don't know the author but here in USA on HBO's Family channel they are
running the half hour shows of The Worst Witch. They also had made a cable
movie of same name that starred Diana Rigg as Miss Hardbroom and she could
be the sister of Severus! Miss Hardbroom certainly had it in for Poor
Mildred. It also had Charlotte Rae as the headmistress and wonderful Tim
Curry as High Grand Wizard! Hope you can find a video of that one it is a
great movie. Sorry I couldn't help with the other.

Actually, a rather amusing live-action TV version of the original "Worst
Witch" series of books (which I had as a small child, BTW) just finished its
latest series. IIRC, the books all have "The Worst Witch" in their titles
somewhere. Try typing "The Worst Witch" into an Amazon (or insert your
favorite online book purveyor here) search.
