Fantasy

Fantasy is a literary genre in which the plot cannot occur in the real world. We grow up reading and listening to fantasies, and these tales are meant to increase the power of our imagination and passion for adventure. With this being said, people like to read fantasies because they relate to our deepest desires and dreams. The plot usually involves magic taking place on an unknown world. It also involves witches, sorcerers, mythical and animal creatures who can talk like humans. People like to read fantasy novels because it allows them to escape from an ordinary and sometimes predictable world, to a supernatural world filled with magical powers and mythical creatures. Reading this genre of literature brings about excitement and broadens the mind of an audience. 

 
Harry Potter is a very popular fantasy novel. It's a series about the life of a young wizard named Harry Potter, and his friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley. They attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and experience many thrilling adventures together.
