I mean more fantisy books. I have already read all the Harry Potter books, the Lord of the Rings books, Eragon, Eldest, and Enders Game. Can anyone tell me what other fantisy books are good besides these?

I just watched the movie 'Bridge over Teribetia', and it was very good.

Tamora Pierce (the Circle of Magic Quartet), Terry Brooks(the Shannara books, there are more than 14 books in that fictional world), Cornelia Funke (The Thief Lord, The Supernaturalists), David Eddings (The Belgariad, starts with Pawn of Prophecy), Patricia C. Wrede, CS Lewis (The Chronicles of Narnia) and Susan Cooper (The Dark is Rising) are some really really good fantasy writers, especially try David Eddings and Terry Brooks.
(Ender's Game is science fiction, but if you like science fiction, try Frank Herbert's Dune, or some of Isaac Asimov's The Foundation books)

The Guardians of Time trilogy by Marianne Curley are good:
The Named

The Key
The Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Cofler is pretty good:
Atremis Fowl
Artemis Fowl: Arctic Incident
Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code
Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception
Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony
Darren Shan's Cirque Du Freak series is pretty popular, and I really like it
Cirque Du Freak
The Vampire's Assistant
Tunnels of Blood
Vampire Mountain
Trials of Death
Vampire Prince
Hunters of the Dusk
Allies of the Night
Killers of the Dawn
Lake of Souls
Lord of Shadows
Sons of Destiny
Laurie Faria Stolarz has a series you might like
Blue is for Nightmares
White is for Magic
Silver is for Secrets
Red is for Remembrance
Um, Sabriel by Garth Nix was pretty good, if you have a good imagination. Prince Ombra by Roderick Macleish was AMAZING! I loved it! And one of my favorite series is Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer.
Twilight
New Moon
Eclipse (Which comes out early August)

Good fantasy books similar to the ones you mention are:
Inkheart & Inkspell, by Cornelia Funke
The Bartimaeus Trilogy, by Jonathan Stroud
Magyk, Flyte, & Physik, by Angie Sage
Good sci-fi books like Ender's Game (Orson Scott Card) are:
Shards of Honor & Barrayar, by Lois McMaster Bujold
The Tar-Aiym Krang (Flinx series), by Alan Dean Foster
Maximum Ride series, by James Patterson
Classic sf/f similar to what you mention include:
Dragonflight (Dragonriders of Pern series), by Anne McCaffrey
A Wrinkle In Time, by Madeleine L'Engle
Speaker for the Dead and other sequels to Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card
Foundation (Foundation series), by Isaac Asimov
Ringworld (Ringworld series), by Larry Niven
Gateway (Heechee Saga), by Frederik Pohl
The City and the Stars, by Arthur C. Clarke
Lucifer's Hammer, by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle
Daughter of the Empire, by Raymond Feist and Janny Wurts
Some of these are my favorites, too. I've read all of them, so I'm recommending based on my own reading. I've read sf/f for over 30 years, and have read over 700 of them so far.

Artemis Fowl series and the Faerie Wars series would probably interest you.
Also, if you enjoy historical fiction type of fantasy, A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray, and its sequel, Rebel Angels.

Bridge to Terabithia. Book is better than the movie. However, the movie is GREAT, so that means the book is fantastic.
