'''Portal''' | '''Portal'''- Portal Fantasy begins with a magical doorway connecting two worlds separated by space and time. The hero either passes through it willingly or is summoned to the other world. The hero usually spends the whole story trying to get home.[http://bestfantasybooks.com/fantasy-genre.php#portal-fantasy] This isn't always the case. In the Harry Potter series, the main characters would prefer to be in the magical world versus the [[Muggle]] world. In portal fantasy, not only can you travel to different places you can travel to different times. In [[Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children]] by Ranson Riggs, one of the main characters uses time travel to go back to 1940. Portal fantasies are often about ensuring that the worlds stay divided. [http://bestfantasybooks.com/portal-fantasy.html] In the Harry Potter series, the magical folk make it a priority that the Muggles have no idea that their world exists. Ultimately, aside from moving from the real world into another more magical world, portal fantasy is a versatile and open-ended sub-genre where anything is possible.
