Movies about magic and wizards
Schools of magic, spellbooks and worlds you would gladly move to.
Magic fantasy is one of the few genres that children and adults love equally. These are stories about schools of wizardry, young heroes discovering a gift they never asked for, magical creatures and worlds hidden just next to ours. Big franchises share the list with anime and older fairy tales.
