Because walking to libraries is harder than opening a laptop? OTOH, you wouldn't have to worry about the library flaming you for your (non)use of shift...

I haven't read/watched a single HP book/movie, but I'm not generally a magic fan at all (even in pure fantasy, but especially when mixed with reality, and worst of all with SF), and even the "reasonable" magic deriving from aliens easily annoys me. Far enough in the future tends to work better, imho.
