      I've been talking about it so much I've actually been sitting here thinking of what a more sensible/respectful use of something called the "Alohomora Spell" would be Because you're right, in the Wizarding World it should be useless, it's just another spell to victimize Muggleshttps://twitter.com/KittenBalerion/status/1311362464563560448 …

      (the whole existence of the "alohomora" spell bothers me in the first place, independently of the name - as soon as someone invented a spell for unlocking doors, someone else would invent a better magic lock. it's a useless spell)

      It's a *first year spell*, it's so common that no one in the Wizarding World should even bother having doors with locks that aren't "Anti-Alohomora Charmed", the only people it could actually keep out of anything are Muggles and Squibs

          As with Quidditch, it was very much invented so the heroes could look cool. That's it. And that's the case with a lot of Joanne's 'worldbuilding'.

          I've always thought the game design behind Quidditch was ridiculous. What fun is a sport that the majority of the work and brutality are made meaningless because someone completed an entirely unrelated task. That unrelated task is also required for the game to end at all.

          You're overanalyzing it. Rowling's magic system has no logic to it; it's macguffins all the way down and mutates entirely as needed to service the narrative with no forethought by the author at all. If you want a coherent system of magic, read @wattevans Ethshar novels.

          That speaks to a structural flaw in the books; they're about magic, so the protagonists need to use magic to overcome at least some obstacles. The protagonists are kids, so it had to be easy. You end up with not only a really fast learning curve, but a world that makes no sense

          That's honestly fine in the first book. It's a kids' adventure story, and the plot moves fast enough that you don't stop to think about how the world doesn't really work. It gets worse as it goes on, and we see more of the wizarding world.
