![]() I love Nearly Headless Nick, The Bloody Baron, Peeves, and (especially) Moaning Myrtle. If you like ghosts and haunted places in Europe… Instead, it’s a set of recommendations around what to read after Harry Potter based on the elements of the story that may have resonated most with you or your kids. You won’t find books that try to directly copy Harry Potter here. So, this isn’t a list of Harry Potter clones. Maybe it’s the core friendships, the slow-burn mysteries, or the inspiring fierceness of Hermione Granger. Or maybe you’re really a fan of the British boarding school setting. Maybe for you it’s the magic spells and fantastic beasts. ( Full disclosure: I even wrote one of them.) And here’s the other big difference: Most lists like this don’t seem to acknowledge that we all probably like slightly different things about Harry Potter. ![]() ![]() ![]() For one thing, I’ve actually read the books I’m about to recommend. And I’ll be honest, I think most of those lists are thrown together by people who haven’t even read half the books they’re recommending. These lists are all pretty similar, I think, and they mostly focus on stories that feature other magical kids having magical adventures. By now you’ve probably seen hundreds of lists like this one-books to read after you or your kids finish the Harry Potter series. ![]()
