What are some book series like Harry Potter [quaint, pleasant, deep lore] but less childish and bigoted? (lemmy.world)

I was quite a fan of the Keys to the Kingdom series by Garth Nix when I was younger. The imagery is vivid, the characters are complex/capable, and the setting is an acid trip of wide-ranging allegory and symbolism.
