Before there was Harry Potter, boy wizard, there was Will Stanton, last of the Old Ones.

Oh, I love these. Still love them. Yes, still magic. I read them over every few years, just for the delight of it.

Sharing the love... I didn't read it quite in order, but loved it - I have the series as one book a 'sequence', but read it in Finnish translation. I've read at least one other book of hers whose name I can't recall.
Anyway, loved it, no doubt still do. :) <3

I loved these when I first read many years ago and felt like you that they still were brilliant when I re-read them as an adult.

One of the most amazing series ever. Admittedly, there is little fanfic for it, but what I';v found is usually amazing. Case in point, if I may take the liberty, check out one of the best multi-crossovers I've ever read, by lembas7: a Narnia/Harry Potter/Dark is Rising cross, with amazing depth and characterization, though the Dark Is Rising has only recently been added. Still, it's absolutely fascinating to see the Pevensies interacting with Will, and Will teaching at Hogwarts...

God, I loved and still do love these books. I had the poems all memorized and can still roll at least parts of them off my tongue. I never saw Seeker because I heard it was such a hack job of the books. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who grew up with these and adore them.
