I believe Harry Potter and the Worst Witch are two excellent series of books. They have many differences and some similarities - but they are each unique and individual in their own way.
The Worst Witch series by Jill Murphy is an excellent read and I recommend it to anyone - witch fan or not.
I would just like to say, for those of you who believe The Worst Witch is a copy of Harry Potter - you are mistaken. Jill Murphy's the Worst Witch was written years before Harry Potter - but this does NOT mean J.K Rowling copied the idea of a witchcraft school.
So please do not compare these books and say that one of the authors have copied because they have not. They may be both about witches, wizards and magic, but if you actually took the time to read them both you will see that they are very different.
