“However, it’s much more about how Rowling treats her own time travel laws as a writer. I would say that she is pretty disdainful of the whole thing! She doesn’t give it anywhere near the same love and care that she does the idea of horcruxes.”

:skull:

Loving the article Shannii!

I’ve never paid much attention to time traveling in HP. It was just another random thing but reading this I’ve realised I don’t like it at all. In my opinion it was super random and it would’ve been great, like you’ve mentioned, to see them find another way to save Sirious. I also don’t like how it was just a one time thing! We’ve seen it only in Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban and that’s it, no one mentioned it again.

I like how you explained how to properly do time travel along with saying why her method wasn’t the best! Great article!

Just added a couple tags!

I’ve thought about this a lot, okay.

Now, while I agree with everything that Shannii wrote, I cant help but remember hearing something about how the Time Turner can’t be used to revive someone. I think it was another one of Rowling’s sad attempts to make the plot holes in her book less gaping.
However, this changes absolutely nothing. If what I remember hearing is true, that would just raise more questions. Does Buckbeak not count as a life? What about the thousands of muggles that die every day, do they not count either? And if a wizard happened to die while it was being used, would you still be able to use the Time Turner.
Normally, I’d think I must be wrong in remembering this, but knowing Rowling and her whole “Dumbledore was gay” thing, I wouldn’t be surprised.

Dang gurl, that’s well said

Hey @Bloggers, @Discussions, & Harry Potter, it’s time to talk about why the time travel in the story wasn’t that great. Take a read of this and tell me what you think!
