OP, are you looking for something specifically with a similar vibe to Harry Potter, or are you more looking for "HP for adults"? And are there any specific things that turned you off about The Magicians, or are you just "meh"?

I'm just looking for books that I enjoy, it doesn't have to have the same vibe as Harry Potter. I just picked The Magicians up because it has been getting good reviews. Of course, there are quite a few well received books that I didn't particularly care for.
Nothing in particular turned me off, I was just meh about it. Reading stories about depressed, lonely, angst ridden teenagers/young adults just isn't all that interesting to me, especially when there is no indication that the characters are going to stop being depressed, lonely, angst ridden teenagers/young adults.
