4. The Magicians' Guild: Black Magician Trilogy, Book 1 by Trudi Canavan

The list author says:
	"Many teenage Potter fans are sure to love this series, however, I hated the uninspired plot and use of language. It features a school for wizards and secret passages if you like that kind of thing."

7. Wolf Brother: Chronicles of Ancient Darkness Book 1 by Michelle Paver

The list author says:
	"Potter fans of all ages should take a look at this fantasy tale set in the distant past. Doesn't have the humour of Potter but is still a very worthwhile read."

8. The Wind on Fire Trilogy: "The Wind Singer", "Slaves of the Mastery", "Firesong" by William Nicholson

10. His Dark Materials Gift Set: "Northern Lights", "The Subtle Knife", "The Amber Spyglass" by Philip Pullman

The list author says:

13. The Book of Dead Days by Marcus Sedgwick

The list author says:

16. The Earthsea Quartet: "A Wizard Of Earthsea"; "The Tombs of Atuan"; "The Farthest Shore"; "Tehanu" (Puffin Books) by Ursula Le Guin

The list author says:
	"A deep and thoughtful series featuring dragons, a wizard school and powerful magic. Probably too heavy-going for younger Potter fans though. It's much better than the rubbish live-action adaptation."

17. The Gift (Pellinor Trilogy) by Alison Croggon

The list author says:
	"I didn't really like this - it steals too many ideas from Tolkien and Le Guin in my opinion - but if you are teenager (or my mum!) and like fantasy you'll love it."

18. The Kingfisher Book of Mythology: Gods, Godesses and Heroes from Around the World by Cynthia O'Neill
