Any recommendations on books that I can use to research 'the wizarding world'?

I'm trying to plot a wizard community (amongest other things) and want it to be as believable as possible. I'm getting stuck trying to move away from Potter things though.

How else could magic folk keep in contact?
'Ministry of Magic' what else could you call it?

See what I mean? Thanks!

If Harry Potter had been your idea, instead of JK's, what would've you done to improve it?

>Greater character development, steering away from the protagonist and antagonist archetypes.

>Invented my own creatures, rather than ripping them from mythology

>Fixed the god awful deus ex machina ending

>Lost the epilogue

>Killed Harry. And probably Ron.
