->This is one of the rare instances where the writers jumped on a pop culture phenomenon too early. This came out before the first ''[[Film/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone Harry Potter]]'' movie, so it leans more into "generic wizard school" than anything resembling the style or atmosphere of the source material. This thing is so generic they had to put Harry Potter in the classroom just so the parody reads.
