The Science of Harry Potter : How Magic Really Works

this book was dumb. it had so much potential- jennifer oullette's Black Bodies and Quantum Cats is written in much the same style and was so good! - but it was dumb. there was good and interesting information contained in it, but here's the thing- the magic in harry potter? is magic. is FICTION. it cannot be explained by science. it does not need to be explained by science. yes, science can, at times, seem magical- i'm down with that. but in the case of the harry potter books? it really is magic.
