Anyone i am a huge harry potter fan and i was wondering wat else would be good to read after deathly hallows?

Answer 1

Hmm, I would recommend general sci-fi books. There are some that are actually a bit similiar to the Potter books. My best friend has read the Eragon series and absolutely loved it. I heard the movie was bad so don't just that series based upon the movie if you saw it.

Answer 2

I never wanted to read Harry Potter, but when I saw that people banned it, I decided to see what the hype was about. After the first paragraph of "Sorcerer's Stone," I thought I was reading Roald Dahl.
If you read anything ever again, make it Roald Dahl. The big four are "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," "Matilda," "The Witches" (all are much better than the movies), and "The BFG." "Matlida" and "BFG" are my favs. Have yet to read anything bad by Dahl.
Other possiblities include Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" series ("Golden Compass," "Subtle Knife," and "Amber Spyglass") and Nancy Farmer's "The Sea of Trolls" (rumored to have a sequel at some point) about a young boy kidnapped by Vikings.
Just don't forget Dahl. As much as I love Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling isn't a worthy comparison.

Answer 3

Hey, I am a harry Potter fan too.Since to become a trained wizard, Harry has to study in Hogwarts only for 7 years, and in case J.K.Rowling decides not to upset her fan and release an 8th part, Harry needs to come back to Hogwarts as a Teacher (or something like that), which could rather be more intresting.However, first we have to see the Deathly hallows.And if it comes out to be the last part, we still have the five unreleased movies in our hand.I expect J.k. for another wonder creation.

Answer 4

Hmmmm....well, I guess that depends on how old you are, and what else you like to read. I'll make some recommendations over a range - some may be too "young" for you, some too "old". (Then again, sometimes I like "young" stories just for a fun read.)

If you like that the hero in the Harry Potter books is a young kid, then you might try:

The Dark is Rising Series by Susan Cooper (I suggest you read "The Dark is Rising" first...even though I think, technically, it may not be the first in the series....trust me, it'll make sense when you read them.)

The Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander (First book, The Book of Three)

The Tripods series by John Christopher (First book, The White Mountains) This is Sci-fiction, not fantasy - it's about a band of three boys who attempt to overthrow an alien invasion of Earth.

Also - and I know it's not at all like the Potter books, but if you like animals, check out the Black Stallion books by Farley. Kinda cheesy I know, but again....fun.


Slightly older....

Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. Again, science fiction. This is, I think, a very good book. I read it when I was 25, and I wished that someone had given it to me when I was much younger. However, there are a couple scenes of pretty serious fights between kids, serious enough that someone dies. (Again, I have no idea how old you are so....you may want to check with your folks before you read it.)

The Belgariad series by David Eddings (first book, Pawn of Prophecy) - great series, loved it as a kid (and still do), reasonably fast paced with great characters.

For fun Fantasy read-

The Xanth series by Piers Anthony. I forget what the first book is but you can start almost anywhere in the series. Full of puns, jokes and good humor.

the Phule series - By Robert Asprin (first book Another Fine Myth) - Again, very funny, fast paced, an "easy read".


If you like the magic/fantasy elements of Potter -

A lot of people will tell you to try Tolkein's Lord of the Rings. Frankly, I loved the Hobbit, and found the rest of the series boring and slow. But hey, a lot of people love it.

The Shannara Series, Terry Brooks (First book Sword of Shannara).

The Wheel of Time, Robert Jordan.....I don't know. I go back and forth on this. On one hand I really liked the first 3 or 4 books but...it just goes on and on and I've started to hate the characters. *shrug*

The Drizzit books by Rob Salvatore, start with The Iceland Dale Triology, the first book in that series is "The Crystal Shard".

There's bunches and buncehs more...but figure out what TYPE of fantasy you like, and we can give you better recommendations.

Answer 5

Three words (er, names) - Diana Wynne Jones. I'd suggest starting with "Howl's Moving Castle."

Other recommendations:
"His Dark Materials" trilogy by Philip Pullman
"The Dark is Rising" sequence (5 books) by Susan Cooper
"The Prydain Chronicles" (also 5 books) by Lloyd Alexander
"The Inheritance Trilogy" (only 2 published so far) by Christopher Paolini
"The New Policeman" by Kate Thompson
"A Wrinkle in Time" by Madeleine L'Engle

Of course give "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Chronicles of Narnia" a shot as well - both are very well-written and enjoyable, but I know a lot of people can't get into the styles of them.

Answer 6

You may like Phillip Pullman's series, His Dark Materials. I read it when I was trying to forget about grad school and recapture a love of reading. My first instinct was to reach for Harry Potter, reread the series up to that point, but my husband recommended Pullman, and they were perfect. While Pullman's works differ from the Harry Potter series in terms of the narrative style, JK Rowling has counted his novels among her great influences. Best wishes.

Answer 7

Read Eragon or the Eldest...and the third book Glaedr that will come out soon...The first two are very good...the books are like a mix between Lord of the Rings,Harry Potter, and Narnia...Well, at least that's what i think but they are better than they sound

Answer 8

I'd like to add the Camber series by Katherine Kurtz (Camber of Culdi, Saint Camber, and Camber the Heretic) and the Syran novels by Ellen Anthony. Both have families at the core of a fantasy/adventure series with completely believable characters and worlds.

Answer 9

If you like Harry Potter then maybe you should try reading other Science Fiction books. I like Books by David Eddings

Answer 10

The entire "Chronicles of Narnia" are wonderful. Also, if you enjoy adventure, I'd suggest reading "Treasure Island" by Robert Louis Stevenson.
