Harry Potter has shaped most of our childhood and teen life, but we can’t stop indulging in books, movies, and other videos related to the magical world.
How about we tell you, there are more magical worlds which you can explore?
In this excerpt below, we will be giving you books that you can read to get a Harry Potter feel. No, you do not have to go to the nearby bookstore, as you can get most of the ebooks for free from The PirateBay.
The Magicians – Lev Grossman
If you not just love Harry Potter but are also into dark academia, where students are cooped up in libraries of an old school hall in thirst for knowledge, then this is the book for you.
If Hogwarts is a magical school, then you will stumble across a magical college in between these pages. The story revolves around a magical boy (not 11 but much older) who has always been fascinated with this children’s fantasy book (like we all are with our favorite Harry Potter series).
However, his life turns upside down when Quentin is called upon to a magical college and suddenly discovers that he has magical powers. The book will delve into spell books and magical knowledge, and with every step, the students are tested for their magical abilities.
Plus, Quentin soon discovers that his favorite childhood books are not really fantasies anymore.
Neverwhere – Neil Gaiman
This is a trippy book that will keep you questioning your reality till the last page. That is how good Neil Gaiman was able to portray the concept of a parallel and magical universe through his words.
Richard Mayhew was your average run-on-the-mill average businessman. One fine London morning, when he stops to help a bleeding girl, he falls through a crack to a different universe dwelling underground.
To his surprise and horror, it looks and resembles the world above, the world he has been living for so long, but it is so different at the same time. For starters, there are monsters and angels living side by side, and he has to survive them to get back to his family’s world.
This will bring back the memories of two worlds from Hogwarts, where through a crack in the wall, you could slip into a totally different world from Diagon Alley.
