Danger, baddie, magic ......

Why don't I get magic? Of all of the stories I read those that depend on magic are the ones that don't press my buttons and that includes everything from BC stories to Harry Potter -I couldn't finish the first book.

The fact that magic is so popular means that I'm the odd one out (guess I already know I'm odd otherwise I woudn't be here.) But Why?

My headline comes from a review in a UK magazine of the latest Harry Potter film where the reviewer went with her son who became very bored on the grounds that "if its magic and anything can happen, it doesn't really count." Magic is cheating.

This is not a blast against those who write magic stories - they are obviuosly very popular (and if you're JK Rowling -very rewarding!) it just me wondering are there any others out there who don't get magic -or am I just a lone sad retired scientist?
