One of the ways that fantasy works is called "one-world-fantasy". It is also called "high fantasy".
In high fantasy there is only one world which is completely made up. It can have its own lands and races and even its own languages. To write high fantasy is hard work and the books often takes many years to complete. |

A very new way to create fantasy, which is very popular in modern books and films, is the "two-in-one-world" system.
In this system the magical world and the fantasy world is mixed together. Very often the magical world is secret or perhaps just imaginary in the the head of the leading character. In this system, Harry Potter is the biggest hit. |
