Ya, there's really no Gandalf/Harry Potter -esque magic happening. In fact, the "magic" doesn't really start happening until the latest couple books and even then it's more along the lines of predicting the future than anything else, though wait for Stannis and whatshername. That's some freaky shit...

There's definitely going to be a lot more about what goes on beyond the wall. It will start delving into the Free Folk and the Wights, though I'm hoping the last two books will have a bit more in it than the previous ones had.
