Some recommendations for an 8 year old who loves Harry Potter and Mysterious Benedict Society

I was asked to come up with some suggestions for an 8-year-old who loves Harry Potter and The Mysterious Benedict Society but is not too fond of the Chronicles of Narnia.
Such a reader might try:
Wizard's Hall by Jane Yolen
The Secret of Platform 13 by Eve Ibbotson
Emmy and the Incredible Shrinking Rat by Lynne Jonnell
the mystery/horror stories of John Bellair
The Earthsea Trilogy by Ursula LeGuin
The Dark is Rising series by Susan Cooper
Half Magic by Edward Eager
Redwall by Brian Jacques
So You Want to Be a Wizard by Diane Duane
Dragon Rider by Cornelia Funke
This should keep him busy for a week or so.
