As someone who grew up on HP, there are way better books in the same genre out there anyway. The hype of Harry Potter is all just marketing from Warner Bros (they own most of the rights on merchandise).
If you want an actually good children’s/YA story about a young person learning magic and becoming the hero, try the Tiffany Aching subseries of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels. They are much better written than HP.

Also, “A Wizard of Earthsea” by Ursula Le Guin.
Such a good recommendation. Love that series and author!
Skyward by Brandon Sanderson
Bonus: the young hero learns magic AND pilots a starfighter
