Harry Potter as a rationalist, seeking to apply scientific principles to understanding and uncovering the methods behind magic. As if he'd been raised by Richard Dawkins, you might say. Written by a relatively prominent AI and cognitive science researcher,
Eliezer Yudkowsky, so he's got a lot of rationalism background to draw from for his writing. Well-reviewed by both David Brin (author of the Uplift setting) and Eric S. Raymond (the guy behind the Jargon File).
