Can't stand Star Trek but I  am a fan of *real* SF.
And also, which is probably where the influence came from, H.P.Lovecraft,
that gibbering, adjectivally overloaded begetter of tales that warn what
can happen to those that insist on descending into secret underground

With luck, the Hogwarts squid will turn out to be an aspect of the Cthulu
cult, which means that there will probably be only one survivor to spell
out the awful warning of what happens when the  foolish meddle with
foul abominations.  Hogwarts, a place of non-Euclidean geometries......
