She also has a strikingly similar name to the Witches series' Agnes Nitt and dies in a similar manner to a historical witch in ''Literature/IShallWearMidnight'', only with a ''much'' higher body count.

* In ''How To'' by Creator/RandallMunroe, the chapter on "How to Make Friends" quotes Granny Weatherwax saying "Sin is when you treat people like things" to make the point that even if there ''was'' a magic formula that made people like you, anyone who'd use it isn't actually a friend. A shared interest in Sir Terry's works, however, is at least a place to start.
