Heh, sorry kiddo. Around here, truth is stranger than fiction, and reality bites harder than fantasy.

Harry Potter.

Bunch of politically correct losers say 'magic is for everyone not those with talent for it' and promote the diluting of the magical bloodlines to complete impotence.

They win.

Are we not, with this tremendous objective of obliterating all the sharp edges of life, well on the way to turning mankind into sand? Sand! Small, soft, round, unending sand! Is that your ideal, you heralds of the sympathetic affections?

Quoted without comment.

To answer your question though, Dead Men Walking is possibly the most grimdark book I've ever read.

Not that dark, but the best fantasy series to rival LOTR is The Chronicles Of Amber, so check it out, lad.
