So with fantasy it is mostly: if you have read one of them, you have read them all?:P
How about Harry Potter? Can that be categorized as fantasy? It is about a poor boy who is raised by people not his parents. Discovers unigue powers and there is a prophecy about him destroying the evil lord. Also very cliche then:P Maybe we should make a list with all the cliche thingies. Would be an easy look-up when your writing a story to see if it is not too cliche.
