A couple of series to remind you of this outstanding franchise.
Harry Potter has impacted millions of people, and even though the books and the original movies came out years ago, this franchise is still far from being forgotten.
If you're one of those who are waiting for the live action Harry Potter TV series and want to watch something like that in the anime format for now, we've got a couple of recommendations.

(1)_17609.webp)
If you just look at the poster of the series, you will understand it all: there are people wearing wizarding robes, they're holding magic wands and there's a castle that resembles Hogwarts in the background.
In the world of Mashle those who are unable to use magic, are excluded from society. Mash has superhuman strength but no magical abilities, and he and his father live far from the others.
However, it so happens that he has to enroll in a prestigious magic academy, full of the most elite and gifted students.
Little Witch Academia
Another series with an academy for witches to remind you of Hogwarts. This series is very kid friendly, so if you're looking for something to watch with your younger siblings, this one will be perfect.
Atsuko Kagari enrolls in a prestigious school for young girls training to become witches. She doesn't have any magical background, so studying there will not be an easy task. But she's ready to overcome the world-of-magic challenges and become a great witch.
Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun (Mairimashita! Iruma-kun)
Iruma's parents are not very kind to him as they sell the boy to a demon. The demon takes him to the Demon World and adopts him as his grandson.
But that's not enough to remind you of Harry Potter, isn't it? Don't worry, there will be a supernatural school, since Iruma enrolls in the Babyls School for Demons, where his newly found grandfather acts as the headmaster.
Black Clover
There aren't any magical schools in Black Clover, but fans still say that this anime reminds them of Harry Potter sometimes because of its magic and just general vibe.
Asta and Yuno were abandoned on the same day.
When they learned about the existence of the Wizard King, they promised each other that they would grow up and compete for this title. However, Asta struggles with magic a lot, and is forced to train physically instead.
The Ancient Magus' Bride (Mahoutsukai no Yome)
Although it wasn't there from the beginning, there is a school of magic in this anime, too. One in London, by the way!
Chise is a young girl who gets purchased at an auction by a mysterious man. However, this is not as terrible as it sounds because her big dream is to have a proper home, and now she might get just that.
The man, who turns out to be a mage, takes her in as his apprentice and eventually his bride. And teaches her a lot about the fascinating world of magic.
