How does the dome in The Hunger Games movies magically create fire/animals?
Is there an explanation for how the dome in The Hunger Games movies magically creates fire and animals at the whim of the designer?
Most of these animals are said to be "mutated" (as in they are real creatures), but when the designer wants them to appear, they seem to magically pop out of the ground as if by hologram.

In the third novel, Mockingjay, we see a window into how the Hunger Games are operated. Events are triggered by devices called pods which have been placed ahead of time, and can be activated by triggers. While the movie might at times appear to show the Hunger Games as running on almost holodeck-level technology, every time we see a more solid description of what things are or how they work, it is much more mundane.
Setting a fire to make an area inaccessible or to drive the tributes into conflict is a very normal requirement in the Hunger Games. We can reasonably infer that almost every area within an arena has some kind of area-denial pod built in, just in case.
As for the muttations, they were likely prepared in advance as a grand finale, not pulled from thin air. All of the other muttations were explicitly called out as being real genetically-modified animals developed in the war, not holographic. Holograms in this universe have always been shown as incorporeal and obvious, not physically tangible and utterly seamless. It is much more reasonable that they were made from the established line of technology, rather than another we haven't seen.
The tributes enter through trap doors, leave on hovercrafts, and see actual cameras embedded in the surroundings. The hunger game dome is a modern Colosseum, and despite all the fancy sleight of hand, it's still mostly trap doors and caged animals.

How did they create animals in Hunger Games?
Muttations, or simply mutts, is the name given to genetically modified animals created by the Capitol. Mutts have been created for a variety of purposes, both inside and outside the Hunger Games Arena. The name is likely a corruption of the term "mutation".What is the beast in Hunger Games catching fire?
Beast (hour 6-7) In Catching Fire, Katniss and her group see a hovercraft retrieving a body that has been cut into five separate pieces. That is definitely not a creature we'd want to be messing with. Like the monkeys, we assume that the Beast(s?) are genetic mutations created by the Capitol to terrorize the tributes.How does the Hunger Games catching fire start?

Answer 2
The story takes place in the future. There is a bunch of unexplained tech around, like the force fields in the arena and the practice area.
As far as I remember the books and movies, they are not explicitly explained, but rather waved away as sci-fi futuretech. Most likely it is not magic that is responsible for the effects, but technology.
Remember:
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
