Playing hooky from Hogwarts? Join the club. After J.K. Rowling aired her unfortunate transphobic bias, former Harry Potter fans fled from the series in droves. Now on the hunt for a new magical alma mater, scholastic fantasy fans are scrambling to submit their applications elsewhere. But what other arcane institutions are open for enrollment? Other fantasy authors have given us options. These are 10 fantasy books with magical schools that aren’t Harry Potter, so you can shut the Gryffin-door on that series for good.
A Wizard of Earthsea
(Clarion Books)Ursula K. Le Guin’s A Wizard of Earthsea features the original fantasy wizard academy – popularizing the idea of magical schools. The story takes place in the globe spanning archipelago of Earthsea, where the young magic adept Ged leaves behind a budding career as a goatherd to pursue the arcane arts. After accompanying an old wizard for a while, Ged turns his back on his master in order to attend The School of Wizardry on Roke Island – to pursue power in direct opposition to his former mentor’s teachings. As Uncle Ben once said, power comes with responsibility – and while Ged has natural aptitude for the former, he sorely lacks a sense for the latter. After attempting a dangerous spell to impress a rival, Ged ends up summoning a dark spirit to the world of Earthsea – a Jungian shadow self that he will be forced to spend the rest of his youth attempting to banish. Harry Potter never had to confront inner demons now, did he?
