In order for a story to belong to the fantasy genre, it must have many of the following features:
1. Magic
(having the power of mysterious forces)
2. Adventure
(questing heroes or a child falling down a magic rabbit hole)
3. Conflict
(good versus evil with good and bad characters)
4. Real world versus fantasy
(There is usually a way in and out of the fantasy world like a portal.)
5. Place/setting is built on magic
(imaginary world)
6. Possibly talking animals
