It's ok to want more Harry Potter!

Sadly, the Harry Potter series is done, and it may be breaking your heart. I know that when I closed "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", my first thought was "what do I have to look forward to next year? There won't be another publication." But don't worry, fellow young adult fantasy lovers - there are plenty of great series out there that will take your mind off Harry, Ron, Hermione and the rest of the gang (at least temporarily). My suggestions:

Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Olympians series:
1. The Lighting Thief
2. The Sea of Monsters
3. The Titan's Curse
4. The Battle of the Labyrinth
5. The Last Olympian


Cornelia Funke's Inkheart Trilogy
1. Inkheart
2. Inkspell
3. Inkdeath



Christopher Paolini's Inheritance Cycle series
1. Eragon
2. Eldest
3. Brisingr



Angie Sage's Septimus Heap series
1. Magyk
2. Flyte
3. Physik
4. Queste
5. Syren
