“So trying to explain the Force with little mindochondria is futile”
Like trying to explain magic with the presence of a particular gene? :-D (BTW, yes, I know that that gene is not the cause of magic in HPMOR, but similarly midichlorians are not the cause of the Force in Star Wars).
And as an extension:
“In the world where midichlorians are needed to explain the Force, the Force simply doesn’t exist in the first place.”
A parallel statement about HPMOR can be constructed from that: “In the world where a gene is needed to explain magic, magic simply doesn’t exist in the first place.” which can be subsequently paraphrased as: “in a world where magic exists, a particular gene is not needed to explain it.”.
Magic exists in the HPMOR universe. If the gene marker is not needed for it, am I correct in assuming that Harry James Potter-Evans-Verres will discover this at a certain point during the course of the story?
Am I also correct in assuming that Harry James Potter-Evans-Verres will reach the further conclusion that, since his universe contains magic, he is living in a work of fiction?
