@turbodragon what did you like about harry potter? are you looking for similar books, or do you want to try something different?
@turbodragon one of my favorite fantasy series is The Belgariad by David Eddings: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Belgariad
it's a little bit typical fantasy but it's a fun read. the characters were the strongest draw for me, and i read this one around the same time as i was reading HP
most recently in recs i've been shoving at everyone, NK Jemisin just released the third book in her Broken Earth trilogy, the first one is called The Fifth Season: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fifth_Season_(novel)
more dense and weighty but all three books are fantastic. you get awesome concepts like geology magic and it gives you a lot to think about
@ebeth aw wow these seem really cool!
@ebeth tbh its been so long since I last read the books I probably couldn't name anything in particular, im open to reading pretty much anything though!
