You want a magic-based RPG system that fits the Wizarding World a little 
better than AD&D? Check out Darksword Adventures by Hickman & Weis.

The Darksword Universe is entirely magical, and has rejected technology as 
evil.

Oh, no.  That would gut the story of some of the best stuff --
Harry's ability to pick and choose the best effects from dozens of
magical "traditions".  Plus it would require DragonBard to
completely rewrite the existing five chapters.


Yep. There are so many magic systems that Harry Potter can use.

Talislanta's 3rd edition seperation of  magic into so many categories
TORG's Aylse sourcebook has a chart that shows how spells work there
Castle Falkenstein with Book of Sigils is interesting.  A wizard from
Falkenstein would have problems castign a fireball, but they can cast a
long ritual that can destroy a city.
ICE's Rolemaster book had 30 elements and something like fifty
different(character classes) ways to cast spells
 Speaking of Rolemaster, Harry might have picked up some of the ICE
Middle Earth products.  Meaning the metal Kregora might be something
Harry might TRY to make


Speaking of which, I just got the Rolemaster stuff.
I'll also have to look into those other systems.  Talislanta, TORG, and
Castle Falkenstein you said?


No, if anything
throw in "Shadowrun" and other even more wildly varying sources;
GURPS has several alternate magical systems including rune magic
and fully-improvised spellcasting,


The ones I mentioned.  There is also Earthdawn and Warhammer to utilize.
There is another wizard named Harry from a US Cartoon.: Harry Grimorie

>from the US Darkstalkers or maybe Presto from the Dungeons & Dragons

cartoon(Harry Potter takes place in England and that series is available
on DVD over there)


I've also gotten Earthdawn and Warhammer.
Haven't looked at them yet, but I've got them.
