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—usually to help save the other world. The hero usually spends the whole story trying to get home. [http://bestfantasybooks.com/portal-fantasy.html] 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. Typically in portal fantasies the characters spend too much time trying to get home versus exploring and experiencing the new world. [http://bestfantasybooks.com/portal-fantasy.html] C.S Lewis and Lewis Carroll, for example, have found a balance in the experience and the need to find home. In the Chronicles of Narnia, most of the characters want to go back home but others want to explore the new land. In Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, she falls through a rabbit hole into this magical place. Although her main focus is to get home, she does explore and experience everything this place has to offer. In portal fantasy, not only can you travel to difference 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.
