To be fair, there's been quite a few games that have done this or tried. It all depends on what exactly you want them to do. A lot of them put on a different face for a myriad of different reasons. This is all White Wolf does, There was Urban Arcana. Shadowrun still sells. A hand full of modern magic games have come out of the Forge. If you mean specifically "Rowlingesque" (with tropes and iconagraphy and all) then yeah I agree. It was on my endless list of games I need to design.
