The Sergeant Majorette says:

Hear, hear. This is the justification for my theory that 'magic' is 
what you call technology before it has been codified, before anybody 
has figured out how to make money off of it. The problem with 
Potterverse magic is that it's been co-opted by the Luddites. As 
readily-available mass-market alternatives become available, sensible 
modern folk drop the old ways. In my young days, things like 
ballpoint pens, pocket calculators and electric typewriters were 
considered tools of Satan intended to lull good students into bad 
study habits. Now, even religious schools teach computer science.
