...take exception to Rowling's stated theme, expounded in the introduction to Beedle, which is that "magic causes as much trouble as it cures." I'm just not convinced that if I could accio beer my life would not be significantly easier. But that may be because I still haven't absorbed all the wisdom Rowling has to offer. For example, I still find it hard to resign myself to the reality that this may be the last fresh taste of the Potterverse we ever get, outside of fan fiction.
