Yep. We're going there. You've taken that quiz to sort you into your House. You love the magic world hidden just beyond the Muggle one. (Don't worry, the first time we saw Harry Potter in the Amazon category for urban fantasy, we did a double take, too, but it's legit.) In urban fantasy, we call that a "closed" world. It's modern, but only some people get to know about what's happening behind the scenes. If you loved Harry Potter, we'll assume you've already read the books.
Want grown-up Harry Potter? Try The Magicians by Lev Grossman.
If you liked the idea of the Wizarding world being hidden from the Muggles, your options are vast. Grown-ups should totally dive into: Darkfever. Karen Marie Moning's Fever series, which begins with Darkfever, is all about what lurks in the corners, the fae we can't see, and learning how to fight them to save the world. Heroine Mac is also very focused on finding the person who killed her sister. So it brings the mystery element in with precision. Note: don't read this one with your kids.
Chelsea Mueller's Borrowed Souls was just released and it's a gritty urban fantasy that promises magic, mayhem, and a hot dude who rides a motorcycle. (You're welcome.) She also was once paid to document every time Alexander Skarsgard was naked on True Blood. As such, she clearly has little shame about indulging in the good stuff.
