In that case, why would Doug bother bringing home a bunch of Potterverse books on magical theory, when his personal notes provide a far superior understanding of how their magic actually works? He'd just keep his notes and give them to his friend as a gift. Heck, there's no reason Doug can't spend some idle time during his journey home turning his old notes into the definitive textbook on Potterverse magic. His A.I. laptop would likely love acting as editor for the project as it'd give her something to do during the occasional mind numbingly boring stop without an internet connection. That would make one hell of a gift.
Should have been clearer, sorry. I understand the part in which Doug'll have a better understanding of the material. My question was how that made the theory books "a bust."
