Not HP, but see https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24997064-the-nightmare-s... which pits elves and dragons against the British military and intelligence services. All books in the Laundry Files, of which this is one, are great reads.

Oh, 'cstross is still writing Laundry Files? Awesome! I've read up to book 4 or 5, then dropped for reasons I don't remember. Time to read it all from the beginning then; thanks for reminding me.
My favorite little bit of the series so far was how humans eventually figured out what makes Basilisks tick, managed to replicate it on an FPGA, and turned CCTV cameras into defense turrets.
