I have read and re-read the Harry Potter series. They are just as good as the first time I picked it up, but there are only so many times I can read it. Does anybody know of another good, or really good, fantasy series that can keep me occupied? I want it to be a long series so that it's not over too quickly. Thank you!!
 
The Xanth series by Piers Anthony. :]
Or read any of Tamora Pierce's series.
 
His Dark Materials by Phillip Pullman

Cups & Sorcery series is quite entertaining: Another Day, Another Dungeon (Cups and Sorcery, Book 1). Also if you also like science fiction i suggest reading any series from Octavia E. Butler
 
The Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher is awesome! It's kind of like Harry Potter but more grown-up. It was also a series of sci-fi for one season, but sadly got cancelled. I would definitely check it out though!
 
lord of the rings? Brian Jaques redwall books are very good, his Flying Dutchman books are super as well.
 
If you aren't afraid of some slight sci-fi, then I'd go for the Ender's Game series and the Ender's Shadow series - like Harry Potter, they are about young boys who are chosen to save the world. It gets kind of political, but it's not difficult to follow, especially since the situations are so unique. The characters are great, like Harry Potter characters, and the author is a huge fan of JK Rowling and even helped write the book about Snape being 'good' or 'bad'.

Best of luck finding what you need!
