Sounds like you like the Wizard and magical world theme but like that the characters are from a world that you can relate too. Check out "Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell" its a fantasy book similar too Harry Potter but with the main charecters being a bit older you will love it. You could also go with George RR Martins a song of ice and fire series which is in my opinion the best written series of all time. It starts out with " A Clash of Kings" and has a lot of younger charecters that you could relate too as well as adults they are really long books but a ton of fun to read.

Orson Scott Card's Ender series is great. It begins with Ender's Game, Speaker of the dead, Xenocide, Children of the Mind. Ender's Shadow is a parellel novel to Ender's Game told from a different point of view...its sequels are Shadow of the Hegemon, Shadow Puppets, and Shadow of the Giant. All the books are great.
Twilight by Stephenie Meyer is also a great long book to read. It is the first in a series. The second book, New Moon, will release in a few months.

Read the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind, the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan, and any of the Drizzt Do'Urden books by R.A. Salvatore. The Harry Potter books are really good. You could also try the Dragonlance books by various authors!

Hi there. I'm the author of a new medieval fantasy book that you might like. The title is THE BLACKGLOOM BOUNTY. It's 445 pages of action, adventure, magic, mystery and mayhem. If you like Eragon, Conan, LOTR or Harry Potter type books, this may be one you'll enjoy.
Good luck, whatever you decide to read!
Jon F. Baxley (Author, Editor, Ghostwriter and Proofreader)
THE SCYTHIAN STONE (eBook only)
THE BLACKGLOOM BOUNTY (eBook and hard cover)
THE REGENTS OF RHUM (coming fall '07)
Major Media Reviews:
Publishers Weekly
STARRED Review. A fast pace, sly humor, amusing dialogue and a richly researched background lift Baxley's fantasy, the first of a new series set in medieval Britain. When Merlin's long-ago apprentice Kruzurk Makshare (aka the Boozer) receives a dreamlike visitation from the legendary mage, he learns he must destroy another former apprentice, the villainous Seed of Cerberus. To do so will require a visit to the demon-guarded Blackgloom Keep. Enter young Daynin McKinnon, who discovers a curious rune-covered headstone, which may be the fabled Blackgloom Bounty, and brings it to Kruz's attention. Kruz believes it will provide entry into the fortress, while Daynin hopes the sale of the stone will restore his family's fortunes. The colorful cast of good guys and ne'er-do-wells includes the Pictish ghost of Brude McAlpin liberated from his tomb, assorted pursuing Caledonians and a bemused Prior Bede, whose monastery serves as a hiding place for the Blackgloom Bounty. Suitable for fantasy enthusiasts of all ages.

I am reading Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials Trilogy it is good so far. The books are longish. It's fantasy so you should like it, if you liked Eragon and Harry Potter.
I also liked the Abhorsen trilogy by Garth nix. it's long and fantasy-ish too.
