J.K. Rowling Stumbles Into Real-Life Ministry of Magic, Denounces Magic

Last week, author and bajillionaire J.K. Rowling issued the commencement address at Harvard, the university most famous for purchasing sexy love letters between Norman Mailer and Carole Mallory. Encouraging the Class of 2008 to "imagine better," Rowling told graduates that "we do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all the power we need inside ourselves already." Also: High-powered litigators can be pretty awesome, too, but it's not like these kids can cast Imperio spells.

Ummm… how exactly is saying that we as individuals don't need magic to change the world "denouncing magic"? I fail to see the connection, especially since we don't live in the fantasy world of Harry Potter with magical demons who can kill us by saying a few simple words.
