4. Fantasy or science
fiction?
A fantasy story is about magic or supernatural forces,
rather than technology (as science fiction) if it happens to
take place in a modern or future era. Depending on the
extent of these other elements, the story may or may not
be considered to be a "hybrid genre" series; for instance,
even though the Harry Potter series canon includes the
requirement of a particular gene to be a wizard, it is
referred to only as a fantasy series.

“It is important to remember that we
all have magic inside us.”

Contemporary
fantasy

or indigenous fantasy): A sub-
genre of fantasy, set in the
present day.
Urban fantasy
A sub-genre of fantasy defined
by place; the fantastic narrative
has an urban setting.
Dark fantasy
A subgenre of fantasy that can refer
to literary, artistic, and filmic works
that combine fantasy with elements
of horror.

8. What kinds of characters inhabit the
fantasy world?
The fantasy genre loves elves, ogres, princes, princesses,
wizards, witches, shape-shifters, and talking animals.
These are people with wants, desires, goals, and motives. I
love everything Harry Potter series did to build this world out
and show who wanted what, and how they would plan on
getting it.
