Right, Wrong & Unicorns

Still on topic, the unicorns are seen as absolutely good (whether in 
the Platonic sense or not, I do not know), and even the centaurs, who 
read stars as a guide to destinies, are moved to disgust (and one to 
action) by the destruction of a unicorn.

In the Potterverse, I say, there is absolute right and wrong, and 
fate is determined by an unseen hand.
