I've read Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl, Charlie Bone, A Series of Unfortunate Events, and Magyk. I obviously like fantasy, so what should I read next?

Try Eragon. It's a type of combination between Harry Potter, AND Lord of the Rings. It's a bit serious, and the vocabulary might be a little intense, but it's one of my Top Ten with Harry Potter.

I think you should also try Peter and the Starcatchers (and its sequel, Peter and the Shadowtheives) which is Fantasy/Action.

I'm a fan of Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl, and A Series of Unfortunate Events.

Hmm... I also suggest Inkheart and Inkspell. Maybe even Theif Lord and Dragon Rider (All by one authoress, Cornelia Funke)

How about some books by Cornelia Funke........Inkspell, Inkheart, Dragon Rider, and The Thief Lord.
Or if you like cats, maybe try the Warrior series by Erin Hunter. The first one is called Into the Wild, #2 is Fire and Ice......there are 6 in the series, and there is also a 2nd series of 6 books......Warriors: The New Prophecy.
The Akhenaten Adventure by P.B. Kerr. I think that's the 1st one and the 2nd one is the Blue Djinn of Babylon (or maybe it's the other way around?)
The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo
Endimion Spring by Matthew Skelton
The Amulet of Samarkand (#1), Golem's Eye (#2), Ptolemy's Gate (#3) by Jonathon Stroud
The Edge Chronicles by Paul Stewart (sorry, don't know the names of the books, but you can find them online easy enough)

And I know you said you read Magyk, the next Septimus Heap book is called Flyte.

the Pendragon series by DJ McHale(has 7 books so far)
Peter and the Starcatchers, Peter and the Shadow Thieves
Inkheart, Inkspell, and soon to come Inkdeath
Dragon Rider, and The Thief Lord
Also Gregor the Prophecy of Bane, plus the other books that go along with it.

You'll love His Dark Materials trilogy. I have read all the books in your list except Charlie Bone and I think the only that could surpass Harry Potter is His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman.
Also try Abhorsen series by Garth Nix.

If I had been to have a literary idol it could be King. First e-book I learn via him used to be Tommyknockers and I used to be hooked ever due to the fact. Rose Madder, Insomnia, Talisman and Black House (?) have a few very fine Dark Tower tie ins. Any of his brief tale books are extremely good (Graveyard Shift, the Bachman Books, Nightmares and Dreamscapes, Everything's Eventual, Skeleton Crew) Bag of Bones used to be a touching novel alongside the strains of the Green Mile with a small contact of supernatural in a individual-pushed surroundings. Eyes of the Dragon used to be first rate for its innocous contact (and in addition extra tie ins). I nonetheless have not learn the final 2 Dark Tower books, the Girl Who Loved Tom Jordon, Gerald's Game (Started it however did not get some distance), Delores Clairborne, or (unusually sufficient) Pet Semetary. Never heard of Colorado Kid until this publish so thank you!

Further to the above answers I thoroughly recommend Visitors. It is all about an English family , the main characters
are a small boy and his elderly eccentric aunt. The young boy's grandad went missing years before and through the magic of time travel the boy and his aunt try to find out what happened to him. You are kept hanging on until the very last page. You can find it on Amazon

Ok, this is not a fantasy book, but more of a mystery book, but I like "The Ghost of the Cavilier" by Lee Zelhart or Randal Zelhart. It is a short novel, only like 120 pages. I really liked it.

Also, you could read the "Lord of the Ringes" books, they are fantasy, but they are sometimes complicated.

Also, that new movie Earagon is based on a book.

Any of the books by Zilpha Keatly Snyder. You'll probably also like The Neverending Story. Also, there's a series by Susan Cooper that you'll love, based on the books you've mentioned.
