Fantasy Posters: Fantasy becoming an art

This post takes up the example of J.K Rowling's fantasy creation, Harry Potter, and explores how fantasy in its poster form has had a mind-blowing impact on youngsters and adults alike.

We have often heard or felt that fantasy is a genre that uses magic and other supernatural forms as a primary element of a plot, theme and/or setting. It often comes across to the mind that how we as human beings can convert fantasy into art form. Well, this can be done using fantasy posters. As a child you may recall you were often fascinated and sometimes even obsessed with the idea of fairy stories, of dragons and little jennies that lived in bottles.

Fantasy posters arouse the inner passions and strengths that uses art in its most vivid form and can actually create a magical world around you. It is surprising to see how J.K Rowling, a middle aged woman has aspired and managed to create fantasy in the minds of the people. One would imagine that a

dark and an absolutely fantasy laid and magic spun world would be a great enthusiasm for children. But here, one seems to have mistaken that. It appears that throughout the world, there is a deep obsession with Harry potter and his magical world. And having said so, it also appears that this fascination is not only among children but adults as well!

You go to college dorms, or even the private chambers of most people alluded with the fact that out there somewhere exists a magical world, you'll find these fantasy posters of Harry Potter and his entire entourage well displayed like tricks and tarts of magic, the jiggery-pokery spread across fantasy posters in bedroom walls stretching across the ceiling. So what is the dark secret? Is it the art that we fancy? Or fantasy has itself become a form of art to be displayed on Fanatsy posters? With J.K Rowling coming up with more and more pieces of her magical fiction, the argument over these fantasy posters never ends.
