Hear, hear!  I devoured the Worst Witch as a kid.  

I believe it was published as a one off in the 70's but sequels have 
been published since then. The TV show started in 98 and I think most 
people mistakenly think it came after Potter.

I loved poor Mildred and her cat. Dreamt of going to Miss Cackle's 
Academy for Witches and was completely afraid of Miss Hardbroom. 

Cackles Academy is the basis for Hogwarts and JKR had to have read the 
books herself.
