Loved Harry Potter - What Next?

It all started in 1997 when “the boy who lived” appeared on our bookshelves and introduced us to the mundane and “perfectly normal” Dursley family living at number four, Privet Drive. Little did we know that this eleven-year-old boy would be the most famous wizard of all time! You should know who I’m talking about by now- it’s Harry Potter, of course!

Rowling’s seven extraordinary books have entertained and inspired millions of children and adults around the world. But like all good things, these magical books eventually have to come to an end. Fortunately for both kids and adults, there are many more excellent books to explore when you’ve finished reading Harry Potter The Complete Collection by J. K. Rowling and want to experience the same thrill. Lucky for you, we’ve already done the hard work to compile a selection of the most extraordinary and magical books to read.

Perfect for ages 7-9 and older kids looking for a more mature story, these books will resonate with Harry Potter fans that loved the character development of the golden trio, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. The same amazing character dynamics are echoed within these books with Percy Jackson, Grover Underwood and Annabeth Chase.
