Harry Potter Harry Potter, as written by Ken Akamatsu

Negima is a lot farther from Harry Potter than the OP requires. It uses one vaguely similar character, and contains magic, a school, and a very old old Headmaster, but that's about it. Negi isn't a student, isn't in Scotland, and we see no Hermione or Ron equivalents, unless you count Anya.
Its a better story, but its NOT Harry Potter as written by Akamatsu.

Nah, they're pretty different. The entire structure of the stories is vastly different; the only similarities are (a) it's set in a school, and (B) there's a hidden magical world with mages/wizards. Oh, and both the characters are orphans.
EDIT: Okay, the old-mage-headmaster is a fourth similarity.
Now, Emily Drake's series - THAT is Harry Potter set in America. And if she could do it without getting flak from lawyer-types, Akamatsu has nothing to worry about.

Negima = Harry Potter + Harem (fan-service included) + Technology + Comedy + Martial Arts
It is due to HP's influence that Negi is from Wales, a 10 year old boy that is wearing glasses and can do magic with a tragic past (if a whole town get destroyed and all except himself and his sister was turned into stone is not tragic then I dunno what is.). Ken Akamatsu admitted in his interview that Negima was created based on HP as well.

Akamatu stole from every-fscking-where with Negima. From HP to Naruto to Ranma 1/2 to Inuyasha, and probably more I can't recall at the moment.
Now, taking HP's characters and setting and converting things to Akamatsu-style would be quite fun. And there'd be more nudity involved, which is always a plus.

On a semi-related note, Koge-Donbo has her own version of Harry Potter.
