I liked them, but really cant see any link to Harry Potter other than the "school for wizards" stuff. ....The leading characters and not really similar characters.

Hmm, off the top of my head:
1. The super-wizard whole orphan boy goes to boarding school is the obvious bit.
2. Both summon the dead against better knowledge.
3. Both are touched by evil.
4. Both have a standoff with a schoolboy rival of 'higher pedigree'.
5. Both have birds for totems.
and then of course both have to confront their death in order to defeat the evil that has touched them.
