The wizards of Unseen University occupy a similar space in my brain, with the possible exception of Ponder Stibbons and the Bursar (but only by comparison to the other wizards).

"But was it funny?" I hear people ask in some dark corner of my brain desperate to anticipate the questions of others and answer them preemptively. Well, yes, it's still Pratchett, even if it's weakened by the wizzards. But it's popcorn-movie funny, in a way I won't remember two months from now. With …
