It is mentioned elsewhere that stories involving magic have a drawback: by making anything possible and largely effortless, it becomes too easy for the hero to succeed, thus making the story uninteresting. The Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery is an intriguing method for the author to impose limitations on using magic. Harry certainly could make his life easier by judiciously using magic during his summer vacations, but that would remove an interesting plot point. The Dursleys, annoying as they are, will remain useful as a contrast to Harry's life at Hogwarts, and his means of coping with his aunt and uncle without using magic becomes a ruler by which to measure his growing character and maturity. There is an exception to this in the next book when Harry reacts against his family using magic, though it is entirely unintentional, driven by extreme emotions after provocation.
 
The Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery is significant later in the series. The decree states that it is a "reasonable" restriction, indicating that circumstances exist under which a minor can use magic, presumably in an emergency situation. While Harry is only issued a warning for the Hover charm, which he did not even cast, later, in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix/Chapter 1|'' Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'']], when Harry and cousin [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Dudley Dursley|Dudley]] are attacked by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Dementor|Dementors]] intending to suck out their souls, Harry casts a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Expecto Patronum|Patronus charm]] to repel them. However, the Ministry of Magic immediately suspends Harry from Hogwarts and charges him with a crime, forcing him to attend a full Ministry hearing. Their sole motive at that time is to permanently expel him not only from Hogwarts, but wizard society, thus removing him as an impediment to the Ministry's official agenda regarding Voldemort. The Ministry misuses the Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery solely to achieve this; Harry is forced to prove that his using magic in that situation is, in fact, reasonable, in the face of a court biased strongly against him.
 
=== Connections ===
* The Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery is here mentioned for the first time by name. It is earlier mentioned [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Philosopher's Stone/Chapter 17|in the previous book]] and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Chamber of Secrets/Chapter 1|in the first chapter of this book]] without being named. Concerns about violating this Decree will cause Harry to bolt [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Prisoner of Azkaban/Chapter 2|early in the next book]], only to be effectively pardoned in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Prisoner of Azkaban/Chapter 3|the following chapter]]. The Decree is mentioned again in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix/Chapter 2|the fifth book]], and it is used [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix/Chapter 8|later in that book]] as a weapon against Harry, at which it proves inadequate. Finally, it is mentioned that the Trace enforcing the Decree has been terminated [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 7|on the morning of Harry's 17th birthday]].
* "Harry Potter" is the first thing Dobby says in the series. It will be also the last thing he says in the series, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 23|before he dies]].
* The warning letter was sent by Mafalda Hopkirk. Mafalda will [[Muggles'_Guide_to_Harry_Potter/Books/Order_of_the_Phoenix/Chapter_2|send Harry two more letters]] when he uses magic to protect himself and Dudley from Dementors. Later, when the Trio breaks into the Ministry, [[Muggles'_Guide_to_Harry_Potter/Books/Deathly_Hallows/Chapter_12|Hermione will be disguised as Mafalda]] by using Polyjuice Potion.
