Why did not Harry Potter conjure his sight with a magic wand?

In the fantasy world of fantasy-epic Joan Rowling, magic is literally omnipotent. Although it is not entirely clear why Harry Potter did not conjure his good eyesight, it is obvious that magic gives wizards the power over many things. With the help of a magic wand you can levitate objects, fight in a duel, enslave and even kill; With the help of complex potions you can fall in love with another, successfully pretend to be dead and even try on someone else's appearance. A lot of wonderful power is borne by the famous artifacts: the legendary Deathly Hallows, passed from generation to generation, the Marauder's Card and the car "Ford England" enchanted by Arthur Weasley.

Nevertheless, many readers and spectators have a very reasonable question: "If the magic in a fairy tale is so omnipotent, if any missions are subject to it, then why did not Harry Potter conjure his eyesight to take off his glasses at last?" There are three hypotheses that offer alternative answers to this burning question.

The Rule of Naturalness

In fact, the first and most plausible version of the answer was suggested by Joan Rowling herself in the storyline. If the fan of stories about the Boy-Who-Lived is interested in what Harry Potter has not conjured his eyesight, let him ask himself similar questions. Why did James Potter wear glasses? Why did not any of the characters (especially the girls) improve their appearance in any way with the help of magic? After all, all, it would seem, were available all the necessary resources: magical power, magic wands, discontent with appearance or poor eyesight.

An attentive reader will probably immediately protest: why has no one improved his appearance? But what about Harry's best friend, Hermione Granger?

Indeed, why did not Harry Potter conjure his eyesight if Hermione managed to use magic and shorten excessively long front teeth?

It's very simple: the wizard should look like nature provided. Even Hermione was forbidden to do anything with her teeth - not only mages, but her Muggle parents working as dentists. It is very dangerous to interfere with factors predetermined by nature itself. The book repeatedly states that you can not change anything radically in your own appearance. Apparently, this also applies to the functioning of sensory organs.

Lack of capacity

Although magic really seems omnipotent, is it really so? Why did not Harry Potter conjure his sight, despite the prohibitions of older and wiser wizards? It is possible that such a powerful effect of magical powers in reality is overrated; Nowhere in the original source is it said that one can act on the senses by some kind of spell or potion so that the result of the effect is preserved for the rest of his life. To use temporary spells and drugs is inconvenient and, probably, meaningless; Why repeat the same ritual over and over again if you can just wear glasses easily, like Muggles do?

An integral part of the character

There is another hypothesis that answers the question of why Harry Potter has not conjured his eyesight. Glasses are an important part of the image of the protagonist. He is not a botanist or a non-scholar, but it is glasses that give the little eleven-year-old boy - the character of the first book and film - the share of vulnerability and insecurity that makes him reluctant to empathize, even without knowing all the circumstances of his life. Hermione Granger for the first time shakes Harry Potter and Ron Weasley with his mind just when he applies the "Reparo" spell on the train "Hogwarts Express" and repairs the broken arc of Harry's glasses, fastened with an adhesive tape. In the end, Harry's father also wore glasses; This detail, on the one hand, brings together the orphan with the appearing in the films of the ghost of James, and on the other - makes Severus Snape more despise Harry for resemblance to his father.

Thus, the poor vision of the character is not at all such an illogical detail as it might seem at first glance. Review your favorite movies; Is it possible that Harry Potter without glasses - as without a scar in the form of lightning on his forehead? ..
