What book series would you like to see made into a movie trilogy or a show with multiple seasons? (lemm.ee)

I've often wanted a movie/series based on the Dragonlance books or the Dark Elf trilogy. What would you all like to see done if you had the ability to do it?

There are some really great kids books I've read to my daughter that I think would work well in a visual medium.

In particular the work of Alastair Chisholm (Orion Lost, The Consequence Girl and Adam 2) would work well I think.

Also Jamie Littler's Frostheart series would be great.

I'd also like to see an adaptation of How To Train Your Dragon that's much closer to the books than the movie series of the same name. The books are so good but so different from those films, and their story and characters would make a great TV show IMO.
