magic wizard series

seriously. there's SOOO many better (and less xenophobic) series about magic (and wizards) that DON'T end up contributing to a transphobe. such as "Carry On", "Wayward Son", and "Any Way The Wind Blows" by Rainbow Rowell. or Lord of The Rings. or *literally anything* that DOESN'T support a disgusting TERF.

2025/3/8 Edited to

... Read moreHey fellow magic enthusiasts! You know that feeling when you just can't let go of one specific wizarding franchise, thinking it's the only one with awesome magic stuff in it? I totally get it! For a long time, I thought H4rry Pott3r was the be-all and end-all of magical stories. But trust me, there's a whole universe of incredible wizard and magical stories out there waiting to be discovered, and it's important to me that you know that! If you're looking for series like Harry Potter, but perhaps with a fresh perspective or just more magical adventures, you're in for a treat. Beyond the fantastic books mentioned in the main article like Rainbow Rowell's "Carry On" trilogy and the timeless "Lord of the Rings," consider diving into Ursula K. Le Guin's "Earthsea Cycle." It's a foundational work of fantasy, renowned for its profound exploration of magic, power, and responsibility through the eyes of the wizard Ged. Or for something darker and more complex, Lev Grossman's "The Magicians" offers a gritty, adult take on a secret magic college, perfect if you loved the academic side of wizardry but crave something edgier. But what about magic beyond books? If you're searching for exciting TV shows like Wizards of Waverly Place, or just compelling magic series to binge, there are so many gems. "Merlin" gives a classic, adventurous take on Arthurian legend with a young sorcerer protagonist. For those who enjoy a more contemporary or urban fantasy feel, "The Magicians" (yes, it's a book series AND a TV show!) brings magic into our world in a really unique way. And if you're into darker, more intricate fantasy, "His Dark Materials" offers a rich, magical world with a fascinating magic system. And let's not forget the gaming world, especially if you're into games like Magicka, or looking for that immersive wizard legend experience. RPGs are fantastic for this! Titles like "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" let you truly embody a powerful mage, crafting your own spells and exploring vast magical landscapes. The "Dragon Age" series also offers deep storylines where magic plays a central role, allowing you to control powerful sorcerers and shape destiny. If you love the chaotic, inventive spell-slinging of "Magicka," you might also enjoy the tactical magic combat in "Divinity: Original Sin 2." These games really let you feel like a powerful fantasy male sorcerer or sorceress, mastering arcane arts. For those intrigued by the idea of attending a wizarding school, even if it's not the Grey School of Wizardry itself, many of these books and games create that immersive feeling of learning and growing your magical abilities. It's amazing how many different interpretations of magic exist, from elemental control to intricate rituals. So next time you're craving some magic, remember that the world of fantasy is vast and incredibly diverse. There are countless awesome wizard and magical stories out there, ready to transport you to new, enchanting realms. Happy exploring!
