What’s funny is that, despite being responsible for the whole wizarding school stereotype, or aesthetic, the world of academia has a hard disenchantment narrative. One could easily argue that the Victorian period, one of ingenious natural inquiry of the world’s mysteries (the scientific renaissance/revolution really), was the single most wizardly period of all, it just didn’t see itself as such.
Magic, or just typical fantasy, is painfully superficial once you realize that what constitutes it overall, or what it’s known for, is all too shared by science-fiction, and the real world.
