Realm of Magic: Hogwarts?

@Ayradyss I agree and very well thought out post. I can see the Harry Potter refs not gonna lie big Potter Fan and the guy in my avatar (pic for better look) looks a lot like Newt Scamander even his jacket highly resembles Newt's. But while that market is totally Diagon Alley and the brooms and wands are very HP I for most part feel a Magic Realm in Sabrina (family friendly not NFX Horror) and Fantastic Beasts vibe more than 2nd Wizarding War Era vibe.

Afraid the "Sabrina" reference is lost on me. I only watch a little TV these days, and haven't seen any of those shows. (I know of the original, from Bewitched, that I watched some re-runs of in syndication, who just wiggled her nose. And then there was Jeannie (different show) with her pony-tail flip.) As for distinguishing between Fantastic Beasts and the original Harry Potter series, my thinking is much broader and that isn't that meaningful to me. It's all the "Harry Potter" world/setting, the way I'm looking at it.

Edit: That's kind of what I was getting at earlier in mentioning how some folks are taking a much more 'literal' or perhaps narrower, more 'particular/specific' view than I am. When I say "like Harry Potter," I mean like that world/setting. Not necessarily like the specific scarred, teenage wizard or the specific building/edifice or sequence of events. But essentially having the workings of that setting -- same general elements and rules of how things work, and so on.

By contrast you could take the world/setting of Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series which has different mechanics in terms of the workings of magic, how it's taught, who can do it, where it comes from, what it all entails. Broad strokes.
