The wizard fantasy genre is one of the most popular genres in literature, and it's been around for a long time (long before Harry Potter!). Some of the earliest examples of the genre date back to ancient times.
Wizards are usually depicted as being old, with long white beards, and they live in towers or castles. They are usually wise and powerful beings who have access to many magical spells. They often have an apprentice who they teach their magical abilities to.
