another random thought. if that going-back-in-time device works, why wasn’t it used to go back and stop voldemort.

IIRC, it doesn’t let you go forward in time so someone would really have to take one for the team. I mean, if you’re going to try to kill voldemort then you’d have to do it back when he was a kid because he was too powerful as even as a teen for most wizards. By the time they found out how evil he really was that would mean some dude going back 30 years, killing a boy, then having to stick around in a time he didn’t belong.

Would you go back in time to kill Hitler if you had to live the rest of your life from 1930 on?

Edit: Plus I think it’s about an hour per turn of the locket-thing. That’s too many turns. I’d get distracted by something…probably Hermione.

sure, you’d be stuck and have to relive say 30 years, but think about how crazy rich you’d be. you would know when to buy/sell stocks, which companies are getting bought out, what teams to bet on. you can come up with linkedin and facebook first.

and they went back over a day with only 3 turns I think, didn’t dumbledoor say around 3?

If I went back 30 years, I would get with Blake’s mom in the off chance that this is necessary to produce Blake and prevent a collapse of the space time continuum.

Nope, it was only a few hours. They went back from evening-time to when Buckbeak was about to get executed. They freed Buckbeak, freed Sirius, then barely made it back to the hospital wing in time.
