I loved Harry Potter as a kid and the idea of a hidden magical world and magical school.
I don't agree with the author. But the idea of the series is still inviting
I also love percy jackson and The author. I've read most of his Series. Heroes of olympus Cain Chronicles. Maggie's chase. I love. This hidden world of gods and Goddesses. Mythical and magical creatures

The Magicians trilogy by Lev Grossman is kind of like Harry Potter for grown-ups.
{{The Magicians by Lev Grossman}}
Septimus Heap series by Angie Sage
Inkheart trilogy by Cornelia Funke
Also forgot to mention. I mostly do audio books. It would take me way too long to read. A big book or novel. So I prefer audio books
The Alchemist series by Micheal Scott
Have you read the Rick Riordan Presents imprint? Authors write Percy Jackson-esque books about their own culture’s mythologies. I loved the Tristan Strong trilogy which focuses on West African and African-American mythology.
His Dark Materials series by Phillip Pullman
The Chronicles of Narnia by CS Lewis
Septimus Heap series by Angie Sage
The Royal Guide to Monster Slaying by Kelley Armstrong. All about mythical creatures, adventure, and friendship.
The Tortall series by Tamora Pierce.
The Chronicles of Chrestomanci by Diana Wynne Jones
Abhorsen Trilogy by Garth Nix
Pendragon by D. J. MacHale
The Ranger’s Apprentice by John Flanagan
Tithe by Holly Black
Has anyone mentioned Fablehaven? Great series!
Red Rising is different but I found the feel similar.
Maybe try Dianna Wynne Jones.
The Rivers of London series by Ben Aaronovich. MC is a biracial probationary cop looking at a paper pushing job until a routine interview with a witness turns out to be with a ghost. It’s a gritty London police procedural but also has fantasy and magic. Best read in order. The first title is The Midnight Riot.

The Reckoners series by Brandon Sanderson is great. If you haven’t gotten into Brandon Sanderson yet, I 100% would start asap based on what you like and his books are like adultish versions of like Percy Jackson
