What are some other series that give the same kind of cosy, daily life than Harry Potter? (reddthat.com)

The older I get, the more I realize I enjoy more the small details happening in the background (classes, interaction between students, etc.) than the main plot.

I know that cosy fantasy is a thing (I still have to read Legends and Lattes), so I was curious to see if people have other recommendations that could scratch that itch? Ideally with older characters (in their 30s?), that would probably be more relatable than teenagers.

I enjoyed the Magicians series, but it felt very college years focused, and unfortunately those years getting further every year.

Strangers at Drakeshaugh (pronounced "Drakes-Hoff", I think) might be worth a try. It explores the life of the Potter family in the early 2010s (Harry is around 30), and is canon compliant to the books. The writng style is close to Rowling's, and the quality is pretty good. Interestingly, it is narrated (mostly) from a muggle perspective.

Thanks, it's definitely a solid recommendation!

Loose Cannon also fits that bill: Harry becomes a professional Quidditch player. Drama and sport, but no more Dark Lord
