Re: "All fiction—even science fiction—is a subset of fantasy."
* Fantasy is a genre defined by the presence of supernatural elements not present in the real world, and a diferent world/wordbuilding done around those supernatural elements. If the story happens in our world, an explanation for those supernatural elements is provided. Classical exampleof the first (another world with other rules) is LOTR, and for the second (same world, supernatural elements hidden for everyone but a few with an explanation provided), I guess you could say Harry Potter. A mix of the two would be Inkheart.
* Magical realism is what happens when the story unfolds in a verosimile world exactly like our own, but with supernatural elements woven into the story in such a way the characters are not surprised by them and no explanation is provided.
* Science Fiction can fit the criteria for Fantasy, but is not defined the same way so it doesn't always apply. Science Fiction is, more neatly said, speculative fiction with an element of science. Soft Sci-Fi meets the criteria for Fantasy more often than the other subgenres.
