You might have to be a bit more specific. I'm assuming you don't mean The Magician by W. Somerset Maugham, and I'm assuming you don't mean Magician (no "The") by Raymond E. Feist - neither of which seem (to me) to be at all similar to Harry Potter. There's a series call The Magician by Patricia C. Wrede, which I'm not familiar with but doesn't look "older" except in setting. Any more hints?
