The Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris.
It involves vampires, but there's also fairies, goblins, telepaths, werewolves, and stuff like that. Its a really great series. There are seven books in the series so far, and the eigth will come out in May of 2008.

You already have some great answers here, Ender's Game is one of my all time favorite books and the sequels are also very enjoyable.
Tamora Pierce and Lemony Snicket are also fantastic reads and there are enough books in each of the authors series to keep anyone busy for a while.
I'm surprised that Eragon hasn't been mentioned yet. Since you mention Harry Potter and Chronicles of Narnia, Eragon and Eldest, the two books released so far would probably be something you would enjoy.
I also recommend The Artemis Fowl books. They're fairly quick, easy reads but highly entertaining and almost as addicting as Harry Potter.

Try Ender's Game. It's got a boy, 5 years old, who is taken from his family and shipped off into a space station Battle School to be trained as a commander. All the kids there start out young, but Ender is "promoted" to top classes very quickly and is always noticed and becomes famous... His mindset is a lot like Harry's, and the style of writing is similar. And there's a twist at the end, like most of the Harry Potter books :)
And the author of Ender's Game, Orson Scott Card, is a huge fan of JK Rowling's, and even contributed to The Great Snape Debate book, that has thoughts as to whether Snape is good or evil.

Tamora Pierce writes really great series. I love her Tortall books with beginning with the Song of the Lioness Quartet.
Or perhaps Diana Wynn Jones. I've only read a couple of her books, and they're not really a series, but they were great anyways. I recommend Howl's Moving Castle and its sequel Castle in the Air. Other than the Lord of the Rings, no other series come to mind at the moment, but I would also suggest Gail Carson Levine (Ella Enchanted) and Robin McKinley (The Hero and the Crown, The Blue Sword) as other great fantasy writers. Enjoy!

I loved the Belgariad by David Eddings, which is a series of five books. There's a follow-up series called the Mallorean which is also excellent. They're fantasy novels and wonderfully well written, with sharp characters and witty prose. Can't recommend them highly enough. I bought the first when I was 14 and 20 years later, I'm still re-reading and enjoying them.

Have you looked into any of the Lloyd Alexander books? It reminds me of the Chronicles of Narnia, in that it occurs in a fantasy world, and is written so that even young people can enjoy it. The Chronicles of Pyrdain are the books of his I remember best; they blend a lot of European myth into their structure, much as Tolkein did.
