The '''Wizards''' series of books loosely follow the adventures of the wizards of [[Unseen University]] - specifically the senior faculty working under Archchancellor [[Mustrum Ridcully]]. [[Rincewind]] becomes a member of the faculty around the time of {{IT}}, though that book only involves the wizards as bookends.

== Books ==
For our purposes, the Wizards series of books comprises six novels<ref>This is up for debate; {{IT}} and {{TLH}} are definitely [[Rincewind]] books, but the faculty make significant contributions in each and so they might also be considered Wizards books by some. Also while other characters drive much of the plot in {{MP}}, it is often considered by fans a Wizards book as it introduces Ridcully and the main faculty for the University who appear in the rest of the series. Though see also [[Industrial Revolution]] and [[Ankh-Morpork]].</ref>, one short story and the ''Science of Discworld'' books:

* {{MP}}
* {{RM}}
* {{SM}}
* {{H}}
* {{TLC}}
* {{SOD}}
* {{SOD2}}
* {{SOD3}}
* {{CCO}}
* {{UA}}
* {{SOD4}}

Most of the books also cross over with other sub-series, notably those of [[Rincewind]], [[Death]] and [[Susan]]. Members of the faculty - especially Archchancellor Ridcully - also make appearances in many other books, including {{J}}, {{MAA}}, {{IT}}, {{TT}}, {{TLH}}, {{NW}}, {{GP}}, {{T!}}, {{MM}} and {{TSC}}.

=== Official Wizards series ===
As of [[50 Years of Terry]], the Discworld books have been more or less official sorted into non-overlapping series. According to this categorisation, there are seven books in the "Wizards series" - which is really what we'd call the [[Rincewind]] series, plus {{UA}}. They classify {{MP}} as a standalone book; {{RM}}, {{SM}} and {{H}} as part of the [[Death]] series; and don't include the ''Science of Discworld'' books.

The official Wizards series, therefore, is:
* {{COM}}
* {{TLF}}
* {{S}}
* {{E}}<ref>Note that terrypratchettbooks.com doesn't specific any book as the fourth in the series, but the new [[50 Years of Terry]] editions clearly mark it as belonging to this series. It has a new audiobook alongside the others, but doesn't seem to be getting a new print edition, possibly because it's too short without the illustrations?</ref>
* {{IT}}
* {{TLC}}
* {{UA}}
