Generally, it could be, although it usually is just referred to as a fantasy or adventure. A fairy tale is defined as "a fictional story that may feature folkloric characters such as fairies, goblins, elves, trolls,giants, and talking animals, and usually enchantments, often involving a far-fetched sequence of events," so many fantasy stories could be called Fairy Tales, but nowadays fairy tales comonnly refer to folktales, such as those found in The Brothers' Grimm
Fairy tales are usually archaic, traditional stories passed down through generations, whereas Harry Potter is just a modern, widely-renowned book about wizards and the like.
Fairy tales are usually short stories read to small children to keep them amused. Harry Potter is not a short story and the plot would be quite difficult for young children to understand. In fairy tales only the bad character dies but in Harry Potter good people die and some are tortured therefore it might disturb some young children making it unsuitable as a fairy tale.
Yes. The Harry Potter series is not a historical account of an actual event or person, and is not a historical novel that is a contrived story of an event that might have happened at some previous time.
Harry Potter, then, is fantasy, but brilliantly written fantasy by British author Joanne Rowling...well worth reading by anyone of any age. Be prepared to dig in for several months if you are going to read the entire series (if you read one you will read them all), and be prepared for a number of surprises.
If you have some inkling of history, and a true love for excellent character and plot development, you will love these books.
