Simple/basic system to play with my little sister (iusearchlinux.fyi)

Hello everyone. Im looking for a simple system that can be played by something like 3-5 people, which is simple enough to be played by an 11 year old. My sister is in her Harry Potter phase so magic and fantasy wizard setting is really helpful. I need it to be simple enough where I can teach it to my family in a night, and we can get right into whatever story I end up DMing (for the first time) for them. I really want to spend some time with my sister over the summer engaging her imagination.

Suggestions please :D

Edit: you people are wonderful, I'll check all your suggestions out for sure!

Mausritter is a mix of some easy systems, very "kid friendly", it actually won some awards because of it. The Tiny D6 systems are also good and easy to learn: two dice, if you have an attribute that helps, use three.

Mausritter is also great at getting people into the "old school" adventuring mindset. It's easy for people to get that they're a tiny moues, so they need to be careful, be clever, and run away from dangerous situations.

Plus it's got fantastic first and third party adventures to run.

Might not be sufficiently fantasy magic for the brief though?

That's a pretty good point. Time to read it again! (and this time I'll play it)
