There's no theory behind the magic, it's all just application. A story about an HP character trying to discover some underlying theory and approaching the whole thing as an exciting field to learn about and begin to understand could be really interesting. This, unfortunately, does not seem to be that story as it's more about Author Insert Harry preaching about his worldview and looking for loopholes in the rules to exploit; he's not doing experiments or really attempting to learn from the people who have more experience than him, he's just assuming he knows everything already (and unfortunately the author will probably make it so he's correct).

Nessus posted:Right, it's a sensible and logical evolution of the characters and setting which could perhaps lead in interesting directions, so obviously it's going to be the ghost of Bayes or some poo poo. Based on the recognition code, I'm pretty sure this sequence is dealing with one of the parts of the actual books that actually does deserve some mocking, only the story is using it in an even dumber way somehow. I hope I'm wrong, but all the elements fit so far
