Ahhh, Dio. The D&D fan favorite.
Eragon isn't very magical: The series is very low-magic, though the main character can cast it. Even then, in limited doses. Thankfully. He may grow; I can't find my copy of Eldest, so I can't tell you how much he grows, though I do know he's up for some Jedi training.
If you like Harry Potter, you might enjoy these, as they're comewhat comparable. still, compared to the source material (Susan Cooper, the Worst Witch, etc. For Harry Potter), they look horribly derivative. I don't care if they're not original, but it's amazing the number of people who say that these are renamrkable and imaginative just because they've never picked a book up before.
Speaking of illiterate people, anyone else amused that Destor and PC took my comments worse than a 13 year old? Come on, that's some funny shit.
