[HPforGrownups] Death in the Magical World

In an interview JKR said that early on she had to decide what magic could
and could not do.  A magical science if you will. She decided that magic
cannot bring someone back to life.  I don't remember the exact interview,
but I know that is what she said.  As a scientist, I found it interesting
that even in magic there are rules that cannot be broken.

I find it rather interesting that there is no spell that can reverse
death in the Hogwarts World. Magic should be infallible. Raising people
from the dead should be something that should be worked out by these
amazing wizards. I am puzzled by this -- only perhaps this is so, because
the plotlines would be endless and readers would be clamoring for every
second character to be killed and every third character to ressurect one
of them.
