Personally I think Harry Potter is more Wizard of Earthsea mixed with Dickens. She certainly took a lead from Dickens in creating character names.
Since CF brings up puzzles, I love the crossword puzzle (NY Times) and they also have a good game called Spelling Bee. Sudoku is entertaining too. I have an old chess game on my Gameboy, but I really only play the mini-games and puzzles; I've only played games against the computer a couple of times, and was trounced. Incidentally it has the "Searching for Bobby Fisher" guy in it. He pops up to give instructions and encouragement.
