Seeka 12,372 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I just figured with J.K. Rowling murdering her own legacy every single day, some people would like some replacements for the Harry Potter series. I know nothing can really replace something once it's in your heart, but I know we all like recommendations are similar. Books: The Worst Witch series by Jill Murphy Tales of Earthsea books by Ursula K.Le Guin Arcane Ascension series by Andrew Rowe Wizard's Hall by Jane Yolan The Unexpected Enlightenment of Rachel Griffin by L. Jagi Lamplighter Kiki's Delivery Service by Eiko Kadano Shades of Magic by Victoria Schwab Manga and Comics: Little Witch Academia Nightschool The Witch Boy Anime: Kiki's Delivery Service Little Witch Academia Games: GrimGrimoire Final Fantasy Type-0 Final Fantasy VIII Fire Emblem Three Houses Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice Visual Novels: LittleWitch Romanesque (regular edition) Live Action Television: Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Tabletop RPGs: MonsterHearts I tried to keep it to Supernatural Academies or adjacent to such things, or coming of age witch stories. But I've thrown in stuff for those who wished Harry Potter continued up into adulthood. I'm sorry I don't have more. Everyone feel free to post things you think could fill the hole left by Harry Potter, that is similar in some way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricksies 527 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Septimus Heap is another good magical book series. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Gaga 22,031 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Loving HP doesn't make you supportive of every single JK statement/opinion. It has nothing to do with it. HP needs no replacement (and even if you try, that would be impossible). Having said that, Tunnels is a great YA novel series, consisting of 6 books. It's more violent and dark than HP. I love them!

So holes are torn through people. Not to mention, J.K. has her hands in everything related to Harry Potter. She will be a millionaire till the day she dies because of Wizarding World and the contract she has with them. You're right. Nothing can replace a loved book. But hole, wounds, need mending, and new creations can help with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GagaSine 7,464 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I love Diana Wynne Jones’ book series too, it was the basis for Howl’s Moving Castle. His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman is also sooo good. Tamora Pierce’s fantasy novels were also some of my top faves when I was young. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasoneg1990 232 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I don’t support JKRs comments in any way, but I love Harry Potter. Guess I’m gonna find other ways that I will not mention for a way to read the books and watch the movies where she doesn’t get paid for it 🤣 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

God Control 2,181 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 No need to replace books you actually like because of the opinions of their author. This whole idea of “I disagree with you so I boycott you” and treating boycotting as the only viable mean to “fix” something is becoming really really annoying. If Gaga turned out to be a white supremacist, I don’t think Bad Romance will suddenly sound bad. Most writers, scientists and artists from the past centuries held some racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic or xenophobic views and yet we still enjoy their work. Most corporations from Apple to Amazon to countless others exploit workers, don’t pay well, impose crunch culture or fund slave labor in Asia, and even your own governments fund women and gay killers with weapons and arms deals and call them allies and you wanna single out R-Kelly and JK Rowling and call yourselves moral?
