Now that Harry Potter fans have their hot hands on the latest book and the excitement is still tangible in the air, what should they read next?  NPR has a nice piece on exactly this where two children’s lit experts offer their lists of likely hits with the Potter crowd.  It does my heart good to see so many great fantasy series listed.  I was going to list my favorites included on the lists, but my list got far too long.  Let’s just say that any reader whether they are a Harry Potter fan or not can’t go wrong with the books here.

Oh yes, I did spend a blissful weekend devouring the new Harry Potter.  I am not commenting here because people have to really read it for themselves and I don’t want any spoilers.  Feel free to add comments about your own favorite after-Harry reads, but I won’t publish any comments with spoilers.
