Hogfather book5/10/2023 Hopeful that Pratchett's unique meld of fantasy and parody would come across well, but fearful that the medium change or the 'suits' would rob all of it's worth. As a fan of Pratchett's books, when I noticed the UK subscriber channel 'Sky One' had commissioned this live action mini-drama, I was both hopeful and fearful. At its core, it raises questions about the nature of belief and the human condition itself (All in a fun way though). Don't be fooled into thinking this is another Harry Potter clone though. The story leads itself in a fantastical ride with something for both adults and children (although there is some violence in parts, so maybe not suitable for the very young or fragile). Opposing them are a bumbling group of wizards, a babysitter who is more than she appears, and the personification of death itself. Good fun The story of the Hogfather revolves around a fictional world named 'Discworld' and a group of beings trying to stop Hogswatch (the Discworld equivalent of Christmas).
