It doesn't. The  books are fictional.

Therefore I can sit back and  not worry. The  books will probably end
leaving most readers  satisfied and with little or no  view into the 
future to show us long term effects, good or bad. That's usually
where the trouble occurs - The Law of Unintended Consequences
creeps up and mugs you just when you think it's all OK.

So no, my views on idealism can be used to spice up a post or two,
put a view for discussion,  maybe provoke one or two who  take it a
bit more seriously than I do. Everyone has views based to a 
certain extent on their philosophical stances. We're guessing how
HP will finally be explained. There's no resolution in sight yet so
it's a big  playground with lots of possibilities. But I'm enough of
a realist to know that what I  think will have no effect on what is
a fictional construction.

Have to admit, I do wonder if a few of the posters accept the
same inevitability that we say is irrelevant.
