Comments on What To Read After Harry Potter - page 1

Fun list! Although I just want to mention that SOME of these series were written LONG before Harry Potter. :) So Harry Potter fans should definitely check them out if they haven't yet. There was fantasy before Harry Potter. :) I'm just saying.

Ok, I added the Dark Lord of Derkholm, but there's only two in that series. Still, it is so good that you really have to check it out.

Added a lot of books from this list!

lol, yeah, i was actually shocked to see the pawn of prophecy up there. i thought people had forgoten this great series existed!

(sniff) i will always be a harry potter lover, no matter what they say.Oh,by the way, this a sucha cool list. luv it! and to all you harry potter fans out there, never stop liking that series.

i know! i still adore harry potter!!! but this is good for when youve finished HP and need a new book/series to read...

i agree with you, jen! as a true hp lover, i sometimes i wish i could be a character of the book, although,............................... their life seems a little dangerous though. oh! are we talking about the list????!!! i was thinking about hp! but as for that list, just gotta luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuv it! uhem! back to daydreaming.................................................

lol! i know how you feel davina!

Twilight is romance, period. There is no fantastastic world building or in-depth characters. It shouldn't be on the list.

Agreed.

Ditto, Twilight is romance. Should so not be in this list. But really, Harry Potter was one of the best books I've ever read. Twilight just cannot compete. Sure, it was okay...but it was still romance.

bartimeous is the best. i wonder why The Lightning Thief be #1, is it that good?

lets not all grumble at twilight now...although Stephenie Meyer kind of deserves it...
Twilight (the first book) was OK, but she dragged it on and made it totally unappealing and nobody or nothing ever changes. I hate it.

anybody like Harry Potter?
it sucks

I LOVE HARRY POTTER! At first I thought it was an semi-OK thing, but when you reread it...I mean, that is eons beyond what I could ever do! It is genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, if you haven't read the book just say something like, "No opinion." And then you are good. Sometimes you can guess if the type is so obvious (like Wake...I got to chapter four and it was like SO many other books...) that you can't finish it. Some people are good at that, but generally, it is a no-no.

I think that books that are just spin-offs of a popular series (Harry Potter often has a whole bunch of little books that are almost plagiarizing it...) are kind of stupid too.

Anyways, I am reading "Parade of Shadows" by Whelan. It is pretty awesome so far. Except very obvious romance...but what is romance, really, if it isn't obvious.

That's why we have lots of types of books!

Twighlight is extremley dull and poorley written. Though you must give Stephanie Meyers credit for making such a low quality book that almost everyone seems to like.

I like your taste in books!!

i luv this list...offically. i agree with basically every comment on here. :D

Percy Jackson ROCKS!!!!!

Percy Jackson ROCKS!!!!!

Good thing that the percy jackson series is number one.
a GREAT series, and a lot similar with harry potter.

yup

THE LIGHNING THIEF IS ANS SHOUL STAY #1!!!!! ARICK RIORDAN IS A FANTASTIC AUTHOR!! U NO HES MAKING A NEW SERIES?

I love Percy Jackson! Yay! :D
I'm a huge fan of Mortal Instruments also … it's only #37 >.<

Never read The Mortal Instruments series. I plan 2 though

The Achlemyst and The Lightning Thief

appreciate your comments. now i know what books to read.

You may want to read The Lord of the Hallows after reading Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings. This book explains the deeper meaning of both series. More information can be found at www.outskirtspress.com/thelordoftheha....

i never liked harry potter so i guess you could say i just started with this list. I added all of the last apprentice series just because on the back of the first book it says: "perfect for the reader who has outgrown harry potter!"

so true, check it out

i really dont like twilight at all, the whole series. i tryed to read the first book but i still couldent hold my attention after fifty pages. honestly i think it book and movie wer over publiscized to much, and that the one and only reason it did good.

Yeah. She must of made (and probably still is making) a TON of money off of the whole thing. Ugh.
I don't like Twilight. Partly because it's so popular, but also because of the quality of the book.

Great list! Although I've never read Harry Potter (my dad kind of forbids it), I like a lot of the book on this list. I'll definitely be back to check it out again!

Why are the Harry Potter Books on this list if it's for books to read AFTER Harry Potter?

I liked Gregor the Overlander, Percy Jackson, The Hunger Games, Leven Thumps, Magyk, Artemis Fowl, The Mysterious Benedict Society, Peter and the Starcachers, Charlie Bone, A Wrinkle in Time, The City of Ember, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Howl's Moving Castle. There are lots of other books on that list that I have read, but these are the ones that stood out the most. And by the way, just because I'm 13 doesn't mean that I can't have read loads of the books on that list. :)

I agree!!!

Darn it, they didn't have Ranger's Apprentice on that list!

They didn't have Pendragon either, & they're WAYYY better than anything by Garth Nix

So true!!!!!

Mmmm seems weird to me that The name of the wind is not on the top 100, altought it also seems weird to me that Harry Potter books are... so after we finish Harry Potter we should read more Harry Potter?

Of course! You can never read too much Harry Potter!

Twilight? Oh, come on!

what Rebecca said, if I JUST got done reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, why would I read it again?
