Just read it.  Cute.  Didn't like the issue with prettiness and found  
it trite. Liked the acknowledgement that "the only rule in science is  
that the final arbiter is the observer".  Enjoyed the part about "the  
rationalist's version" and enjoyed the inward dialogue about  
rationality. I prefer Wikipedia's story here:  
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality  But then maybe I'm not such a  
fan of Harry Potter (sorry ... the story is not consequential enough  
for me, although the special effects in the films are great!)
