Top 10 Best Fantasy Book Series

I LOVE Harry Potter. I have watched the movies and now I'm reading the books. I have finished the first and the second one, and they were amazing. Harry Potter forever.

Harry Potter taught me so many things. It has to be the best. All the characters, plots, and magical beasts - all of them. Thank you, J.K. Rowling. You have let me have the time of my life. Harry Potter, everyone! Vote for Harry Potter!

If any of you crazy Potterheads like me watched Harry Potter Tribute: Time of Our Lives, you must have cried your heart out. After Philosopher's Stone, I knew that I would always love most of this magical series, but after Deathly Hallows, I knew there was nothing to look forward to anymore. It has truly been the time of my life. I am sobbing as I write this. So emotional. You get attached to these characters, and they die. So heartbreaking.

I absolutely cannot imagine life without Harry James Potter with me. Ever since the first book, he was wherever I was, like a best friend I never had before he came. I cannot describe the book series in words. It's too much. The main character isn't perfect, which is why I love Harry so much. Ginny taught me to be brave. Hermione taught me books and cleverness are not everything. There is more than that, like friendship and bravery. Luna taught me to be unique, myself, and not give a damn what other people think of me.

I dressed up as my favorite characters for no reason, read the books a gazillion times, and watched all the movies. The ending felt like a heavy burden was lifted, and I was now a free angel. It was so much. The movie ending made me cry even more. I don't think I had enough tears left over. All was well. But Harry Potter will always be in our hearts no matter what. I will have a place in my heart for all of them.

You still like Harry Potter after all this time?

Always.

Although Harry Potter and others are great as well, I feel as if this book has a sort of magical feeling to it - a feeling I have never felt while reading any other book. Its beauty, its wonder... As I read, I felt as though J.R.R. Tolkien poured his entire soul into this, and that the words he had written were straight from the heart. It is so simple, yet so complex at the same time, and that often leaves me once again entranced by its beauty.

I understand that for some, it is a little difficult to read, and I felt that way as well at the beginning. But a few chapters in, I found I could not put the book down. It had simply mesmerized me with the imagery, the voice, the tone, the characters, and the beauty of all that is Middle-Earth.

This book is, in simplest terms, beautiful. I have fallen in love with everything about it. I have felt the love Tolkien put into it. It is one of my biggest inspirations. This elegant fantasy will forever have a place in my heart. It changed me. It changed the entire fantasy genre. It changed the world.

The masterpiece of masterpieces, a truly extravagant book series, the magnum opus of fantasy novels. Realistic characters, astounding details, and plot arcs that will forever leave you guessing. It rivals, perhaps surpasses, such series as Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings. Need I say more?

This series wins out because of the characters. When you read the specific chapters, even though you're reading through Cersei's twisted vision, George makes you understand her mentality. He justifies the evil the characters do to the point where you start nodding along and whispering, Okay, I might do the same thing.

I really like this book series. I appreciate that the main character is the son of Poseidon, not Zeus. Zeus is usually considered the "main god," so it gets repetitive at times. This book series is unique, but its sources are also very accurate. I love Greek mythology because of its unique features and fun adventures! I recommend this book to readers.

This series will definitely end up as a classic for years to come. We all laughed and cried with these characters. They made me feel more confident in myself, find the hero inside me, and maybe a hint of romance. These books made me wonder what life would be like as a demigod. I know, kind of weird, but that's just me.

Utterly amazing!

All the characters are very likable. Moiraine is fascinating and manipulative, and Rand is tragic and heroic. Those two are my personal favorite characters.

The mythology is great. The villains are despicable, especially the White Cloaks.

I have finished the first five and can't wait for more.

Other great fantasy series are Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Hunger Games, Twilight, His Dark Materials, all of Rick Riordan's (Percy Jackson, Red Pyramid, Roman), Fablehaven, Redwall, and Ranger's Apprentice. I'm too young to read G.R.R. Martin's series, but it sounds great. However, I was seriously disappointed by Narnia. The movies are better.

This is my favorite book series. How is it not first? Really, all of Rick Riordan's books are my favorites. I think this is better than Harry Potter and even better than the original Percy Jackson series because you get introduced to so many new characters, as well as old ones.

The entire Percy Jackson series is better than any book series ever! And the Heroes of Olympus is much better than The Olympians, so this should be first and The Olympians second!

The sequel series to Percy Jackson. New characters, new writing style, Greeks and Romans included. Maybe not as good as the first series, but still a good read.

I'm waiting to get my hands on the latest book!

I love The Chronicles of Narnia. I cannot believe it is only number seven. My mom and I began reading The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe first. It is an amazing book.

My favorite character might be Lucy or the White Witch. When we finished that amazing book, we watched the movie, and then we read The Magician's Nephew! I am ten, and these books are so awesome.

This was one of my favorite books when I was a little kid. It had so many different creatures that were just so lovable!

This book series is probably one of the reasons I am one of the biggest fantasy book fans. I especially recommend this book to little children (and everyone of all ages!). Children will be overcome with creativity and a love for books after reading The Chronicles of Narnia.

I completely fell in love with this series after I started reading it. Now I have read all 15 books and Legends. I love the characters and tribes in the books.

The series has so many details and engaging dialogue. This is my favorite book series ever. It also inspired me to start writing.

This is literally the only book I read, except Warrior Cats. It inspired me to be a writer, and it's about dragons.

What more could you want?

This book is the best. I read this to my 7-year-old sister. I think it is quite similar to the Warriors series. But this book isn't suitable for little children. It has a lot of violent scenes. It might freak little children out.

Warriors is a huge book series, and in my opinion, it's the best. Although it has many flaws, the whole concept, plot, and characters are just so interesting! Even as an adult, I've loved the Warriors world since third grade, and it's by far at the top of my list!

In second grade, my teacher read us the first book, and it was great. I could not find the books in my school library at that time, but when I found them after I moved, I read all of them.

Warriors, Harry Potter, and Wings of Fire are my absolute favorite series! Warriors is a book series about cats who live in rival clans. There's ThunderClan, RiverClan, WindClan, ShadowClan, and SkyClan.

In this series, we see cats choose between doing what they think is right or what the code they follow says is right. We see forbidden romance, how greed can change someone, and all kinds of thrilling plots. There are different arcs in the series, seven to be exact, and they all show different perspectives.

We have the arc that shows how the clans began, Dawn of the Clans. The first arc, The Prophecy Begins. Followed by The New Prophecy, The Power of Three, Omen of the Stars, A Vision of Shadows, and the newest, The Broken Code. They also have Super Editions that show the life of different cats and novellas, short stories about a certain event in a character's life. Lastly, they have a few graphic novels. I totally recommend this series!

I haven't read the books, but I've seen the movies, and I really want to read the books because they are obviously way better. This series is full of suspense, twists, and turns. It definitely deserves more love than it gets now.

I've only read the first two books and The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, but I like dystopian societies and how they show the errors in our societal system.

I love The Hunger Games! I personally think that it's better than Harry Potter, although I'd have to say that this is tied with PJO and HoO. The Hunger Games is just such a great story and one of my favorite books of all time.

This is honestly some of the best-written fantasy I've ever read. And I've read a good amount. The world and lore are so intriguing, and the characters have really good development. You should definitely give these books a shot.

I really like the fantasy world they live in, though I don't like that the world is going to end.

It blows me away every time. Love the characters, the setting, and the conflict.

Top 3 without any doubt. Too many young people missed this series.

I have absolutely no idea how this wasn't on here already.

Why isn't this higher? In fact, why isn't this in the top 5?

It's one of the few book series I can read over and over again. I never get tired of the characters, imagery, and the great storylines.

Maybe a rip-off of The Lord of the Rings and Star Wars, but still, it is a great series. If we consider that the author was 15 when he wrote Eragon, I would forgive him for the borrowing. After all, I could never write such a masterpiece. But sorry, guys, this series will never be a legend because it isn't original enough.

This series was a great one! It has almost everything I want in a book. Tons of action and a great storyline.

If you have not read this series, read it now!

Such an intricate world. You really get lost in the pages. If you know the film, then read the book because, unlike the film, you won't be disappointed!

It's such a great book series. I recommend everyone read it. Even though the books are thick, you seriously won't be able to put them down.

Read it.

Some of the best books I've ever read, and by far my favorite fantasy series.

Intriguing, captivating, and endearing. You won't be able to put it down.

I was only nine when I first read it and didn't really understand a lot of the plot, but the parts I did, I really loved!

If you haven't read these, you're missing out.

Great story. Heavy-duty politics.

I read these a long time ago, but they're always books I'm able to pick up at any time in my life. All of Feist's books are set in the same world, spanning about 80 years, so the places he describes, Midkemia especially, are very familiar to me.

I'm a HUGE Harry Potter fan - I mean, I've been reading and rereading it since I was seven - so I think saying TMI should be second on the list might be a bit biased of me. But it really should.

I got to live the lives of these characters, and they became so dear to me that I was literally lost by the time I was done with the series.

This book series should definitely be higher up on the list. It is funny and action-packed with unexpected twists and turns.

One of my favorite series!

Why is it number seventeen? This is the best book series that I have ever read. I couldn't put these books down.

It deserves to be much higher on the list!

Spellbinding series about stories coming to life. Originally written in German.

I tell you, this should be top on the list. It's far better than Harry Potter and Percy Jackson, both of which contain innumerable clichés. Discworld pokes fun at every cliché and stereotype in fantasy. It's got the first Death ever to have an actual personality, and all the characters stand out against all the other books' people.

Satirical and hilarious, Discworld is definitely the best fantasy book ever.

I love Terry Pratchett's series! One of the few books that can authentically make me laugh. Very witty humor with very humane themes throughout. Also, it has the greatest portrayal of Death.

Do you think Harry Potter was the first series to introduce a magical school of wizards? Terry did it way before Rowling, with his Unseen University.
