I never tire of spam from “search engine specialists” telling me that - for a fee - they could get me a higher placing on Google searches. My website is literally the second thing that comes up after Wikipedia when you type “Barnaby Edwards” - which is more than can be said for the specialists.

If only this was the series of books HBO was spending millions turning into a TV series, rather than rehashing 8 movies everyone's already seen with better actors AND funding a deranged bigot's desire to disenfranchise an already victimised section of society...

It's really good. A proper piece of writing.

There are differences, of course. I mean this book has Black people in it as leading characters.

On his first day there, he makes friends with a funny student with a monosyllabic name and creates an enemy of a posh boy from a noble family.

Sound familiar?

A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K Le Guin, written in 1968.

Funny where some authors get their ideas from, isn't it?

He's collected from his boring home by a big man who takes him to a remote school for young wizards. This school - presided over by an old, bearded wizard with a bird familiar - is full of teachers who specialise in subject areas like Charms, Herbology, Potions and so on.

I'm very much enjoying this book I'm currently reading. It has a young boy with magical powers he knew nothing about, being taken away from his dull life in suburbia after accidentally creating mayhem by casting spells.
