100+ Books for Harry Potter Fans

One of my favorite things about the Harry Potter books is the way that it got so many people young and old reading. When my family discovered the books all four of us devoured them. Even my dad who I have never thought of as being a reader before was fighting over who’s turn it was with the book.

Sadly many people stop at Potter but there are SO many great books books in the world. So today I’m sharing 50+ books for Harry Potter Fans. Whether they are full of fun friends like Harry, Ron, and Hermione, great adventure, or wonderful world building all I have personally read every single one of these and loved them all. I hope you will as well!

For those which are a part of a series (most of them) I am listing the first book and making the text bold. So if you count all the books in the series there are WELL over 100 books on this list :) If they are a  part of the series I have read ALL the books available within each of the series! Because this would be a CRAZY long post if I wrote even one sentence about each of these. But I have written about each of these before since I have written about each and every one of these (usually more than once). So if you’re curious about one of them feel free to use the search bar in the upper right (or at the bottom) to learn more of what I think.

Friendship, Mystery, Adventure and Magic

These are Middle Grade and YA books that are full of great friends and adventure. Most are good for the average middle schooler but you know your own kids. I LOVED all of them as an adult so they aren’t just kiddie books that are similar in maturity content level to the earlier Harry Potter books.
