I think there's are occasional numinous bits in HP--for some reason, Hagrid's totally irrational love of monsters counts. It doesn't seem like part of the mostly cynical wizarding world.
I'm not sure if it's what hit you so hard, but finding out that ghosts are the people who don't have the nerve to go on gave me the feeling of a larger world than HP usually does.
