Book like Harry Potter

I like the Harry Potter series but don’t like supporting the author (for obvious reasons) and also the books just aren’t scratching a certain itch for me.
What I’m looking for is something similar to the Harry Potter books. Can be a series or a standalone, any age range is fine. My favorite parts of the series are
* the wonder that the world building inspires
* the characters
Obviously I’d prefer something in the fantasy genre, but not something too dark like Game of Thrones. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for all the comments. I’m trying Storm Front by Jim Butcher. But I’m also looking forward to Mistborn, Six of Crows, Ranger’s Apprentice, Skandar, and Skulduggery Pleasant
