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!

Maybe Fate Accelerated? You can jump right in, just pick a High Concept (What the character is mainly about), maybe a Trouble and approaches (how you approach problems) and leave the rest to fill in. You have Fate points, which you spend to improve rolls and which you get by getting into trouble / adventure. The players have more ability to affect the story than in D&D, and is usually easier to get into for beginners than for experienced rpg players - check Book of Hanz for tips.
