It'd be interesting to see the reactions, too.
What is the transformation the students have to do in the first lines of chapter 22? The Dutch translation has a play on words that I'm fairly sure doesn't work in English, so I'm curious what the original was... Same with the magical radio thing in the next chapter.
Guinea pig and guinea fowl?
And Wizarding Wireless Network.
Ali Bobo and his flying carpets show up again. And of course the Transsylvanians are too bad-ass to care about pesky things like international anti-dueling agreements. The country of Dracula and Elizabeth Bathory isn't going to play nice just because some pansy Britons ask them to. 

Indeed!
