If you’re open to more middle grade fantasy, I highly recommend [Nevermoor](https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/6a6d5ca1-b2f5-47be-828c-018144d3bbc7) by Jessica Townsend. It’s my favorite series, even at 28 years old, and the only one that makes me feel the way the Harry Potter books used to. The magic school isn’t a boarding school, but it is definitely an important setting in the series.
