Harry Potter will go down in history as one of the most important book series for children. It spawned eight movies, a theme park, and most importantly, it inspired bibliophilia in an entire generation of young readers! But now that we’ve read all of theHarry Potter books (multiple times), it’s time we turn our heads towards other series.
