@Laurie—I thought long and hard about including the Chrestomanci books in this list. Glad to see you recommending them. And as for the Black Cauldron, I had almost blocked that from my memory.

@Scott & Ken—I haven’t read the Belgariad, but your enthusiasm for them makes them sound intriguing!

Not a new series, but Diana Wynne Jones’s Chrestomanci books, starting with Charmed Life, would be great dramatized.

And, as Disney did such a terrible job with The Black Cauldron, I’d also suggest Lloyd Alexander’s Prydain series, starting with The Book of Three.

I really think the Belgariad series by David Eddings would be a great fit for a series of movies. Those books definitely fit the requirements!
