Well, this is actually a pretty good question which I also never actually thought of until now: However I did figure out my opinion on it: She´ll represent all three of those things. Why do I think this? Well, as the name of the sereis states "Friendship is magic" magic and friendship belong together in the world of MLP. They are pretty much the same thing. As for the the harmony; magic is one of the six elements of harmony so Twilight will already be in control over one part of harmony and all of the elements of harmony are connected to one another by friendship. Without the friendship between Twilight and Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Applejack the elements wouldn´t work. So, I believe that all three things are connected to one another and can´t be seperated.

I couldn´t agree more. Personally, I never really understood why people hate on Alicorn Twilight this much. I mean, yes, her being a princess now changes alot of things but not necessarily for the worst. I´m actually really looking forward to seeing Twilight as an Alicorn next season.

I´d say it is most likely permanent because I can´t picture her being turned back into a unicorn again. I have several reasons to believe this: 1: It´s very well possible that noone even has the power to turn her back. 2: Even if princess Celestia could turn her back; why would she? Twilight is her student and she obviously cares alot about her so I can´t see her doing it. 3: Twilight being an Alicorn now, gives the story a whole new twist and lots of new plot points. 4: I guess that if Twilight changed back into a Unicorn in season 4 there would be even more fans complaining about that than there are now complaining about her being an Alicorn including me. I am not a real fan of Alicorn Twilight but from my point of view it´s better to stick to the decision thy made and go with it. The only way of Twilight becoming a Unicorn again, that seems likely to me, would be her giving up her position as a princess to stay with her friends. However, since we don´t even know whether her being a princess means she´ll have to leave her friends, I´m going to keep believing she´ll stay like this.
