I got a copy of the "Earthsea" books on the back of this, have read the first two books
I liked them, but really cant see any link to Harry Potter other than the "school for wizards" stuff. In the first half of the Harry Potter series its basically just a English Boading School story which happens to include magic. I gets series at Book 4 maybe. The magic in Earthsea was far better thought out metaphysically
And other than one obvious connection Spoiler: Harry must live and die and live again to defeat Voldemort and Sparrowhawk must face his own death to live... the leading characters and not really similar characters.
