Why Don’t Wizards Use Time Turners to Fix Everything? - Harry Potter Theory


Listen Later

In the wizarding world, few magical objects spark as many ‘what if’ debates as the Time-Turner. If it could be used to save both Buckbeak and Sirius, why didn’t anyone just spin it a little further? Why not go back and stop Cedric Diggory’s death? Or warn Lily and James before Voldemort arrived? Why not save Dumbledore, or even stop Voldemort’s rise altogether by sabotaging Tom Riddle’s past?

At a glance, it feels like the Time-Turner is the ultimate fix-it tool, a magical loophole that should’ve solved everything. But as always in the wizarding world, things aren’t that simple.

Today, we’ll be diving deep into why the Time-Turner wasn’t used to rewrite history, fix every tragedy, and (among other things) put a stop to Voldemort before his reign of terror could even begin.

Let’s dive in to it.
