:sun Have you (or anyone here) read the Alexandra Quick series? It's a very interesting followup to Rowling's books, set in America with a female protagonist... It expands on magic and presents a [i]incredibly[/i] plausible interpretation of what Rowling's magical America might be, all while putting forward a deeply flawed (esp. compared to Harry) viewpoint character and detailing her struggles in the magical world... Honestly, in my opinion it can be considered the "Thrawn Trilogy" of Harry Potter.

(Here's a [url=https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3964606/1/Alexandra-Quick-and-the-Thorn-Circle]link[/url] to the first book, for anyone interested; four out of seven written so far, the fifth on its way)
