I really enjoyed a series by Angie Sage called Magyk, Flyte, and Physic. They have a lot of magic in them, and are really geared toward kids ten to thirteen, but I still love them and I'm nineteen. I also loved:
Sword of Shannara, by Terry Brooks
The Looking Glass Wars, by Frank Bedor
and all of Shannon Hale's books, Goose Girl, Enna Burning, River Secrets, and Princess Academy

Kingdom for Sale, SOLD!
It's a great book! It's not at all like Harry Potter or Eragon but completely its own book. Wonderful!

"the lord of the rings" books have some magic in them (wizards- gandalf and saruman) but the whole book isn't magic.. a very very good read though. i really enjoyed "the hobbit" and "the fellowship of the ring". those are the only two i have read so far but loved them. i have seen the movies a few times and the books are really close to the movies so i think the other two books, "the two towers" and "the return of the king", will be just as good.. oh, it is by j.r.r. toilken, if you didn't know..

I liked the enchanted forest series by Patricia C. Wrede
There are four books in the series
"Dealing with Dragons" introduces Princess Cimorene, youngest daughter of the king of Linderwall. Like most medieval tomboys, Cimorene is considered rough, unseemly and stubborn -- she wants to fight with swords and learn magic. On the advice from a magic frog, she goes out in search of a dragon to be housekeeper for. But when she's not sending away valiant knights, she's dealing with some very troublesome wizards...
"Searching For Dragons" picks up when the dragon Kazul goes mysteriously missing. Cimorene is, unsurprisingly, very concerned about this and wants to find her. Enter Mendanbar, a young king as unconventional as Cimorene -- not to mention in need of a wife. But even though he goes along to find Kazul, with wizards and laughter all around, he'll find that he's much more interested in Cimorene.
"Calling on Dragons" skips ahead to when Cimorene and Mendanbar are mrried, and Queen Cimorene is pregnant. All is right, right? Wrong. Magic is vanishing in the Enchanted Forest; the king's sword has been stolen. To combat the troublesome wizards, Morwen the witch teams up with Cimorene, Kazul, Telemain the Magician, and a rabbit called Killer.
"Talking to Dragons" skips ahead even further, to when Daystar is sent off by his mom Cimorene with only a magic sword. Poor kid -- he has to help King Mendanbar escape from an evil wizard's spell, without knowing that Mendanbar is his father. He teams up with a hot-tempered firewitch, Shiara, a dragon, a lizard, and a rather annoying princess. Can Daystar clue in before all is lost?

I like Piers Anthony's Xanth series (Starts with A Spell for Chameleon; silly and heavily pun driven), Douglas Niles' War of Three Waters trilogy (Starts with A Breach in the Watershed; serious and overall depressing), and Gordon Dixon's Dragon Knight series (Beginning with The Dragon and the George; overall serious, but doesn't really take itself seriously)

The Chronicles of Narnia, or Lord of the Rings. They aren't so much magic as fantasy, but Narnia is great for young adults, and there is some magic.
