Looking for the name of a popular book series
3
I have only read the one book I believe the book was called the apprentice or something like that.
It is a very popular series with a lot of books.
The one I read was about a young man left his home to study with a famous magician. He lived in I want to say an old castle something with a large tower.
A few things I remember he had to clean out the library, the place was like haunted or more like he would see people or scenes from another time, they rode on Falcons, and fought orcs.

Lol sounds like something he would have said to him but I never got to the end I'm trying to remember the book so I can finish it

Possibly this is Magician: Apprentice, the first book in the (extensive) Riftwar saga. This is a long and well known series of books. The boy does indeed leave his home to learn magic at the hands of an older wizard. There are orcs and ghosts but I can't recall anyone riding on a falcon.

Nope. Definitely not. Having read this book, it nowhere near matches the OP's description. The magician isn't "famous", and there's no library cleaning, falcon riding, or orc fighting. Sorry, but -1.

@Randal'Thor - I seem to recall that orcs come out of the rift. Also Pug is taught by the Magician Kulgan who seems pretty well known

Another character, Tomas, in Magician (I happen to be reading it right now) sees scenes from the distant past (of another figher who rides a dragon) when he puts on enchanted armor. Humans come out of the rift, along with some large ant-like creatures. The humans from the rift are strong and well-conditioned and fight without caring how many of their own kind die.

Kulgan is the magician of the local castle. He's not "famous" in any larger sense than that, at least until later due to his association with Milamber. And Tsurani aren't orcs (!) - the closest you've got to orcs in this series are the moredhel or dark elves.
