But none of them is anywhere near the popularity of Harry Potter. In the german-speaking area, his dark material and Earthsea are even less common.
idk anything about german literature, i'm russian :( but when i was small i really liked the books momo and neverending story
Yeah, I think those are good. I read "The Master and Margarita", its also about magic (not children's novel though).
I mean, I wouldn't have a problem with just doing another fantasy series instead. In my opinion, the magic system is the most unique thing about Harry Potter, because it teaches people certain things about the digital world. You can delete things, you can move things around, you can make things appear and disappear.
That's what another series would need to replicate, which none of the one I know or you mentioned, do.
