15 Biggest Unresolved Plot Holes In Harry Potter
2. Time-Turners
Whilst the use of the Time-Turner made for a fun finale in The Prisoner of Azkaban, it also opened up a lot of plot holes.
The only person who used a Time-Turner in the Harry Potter series was Hermione. She was given the privilege of using this powerful device because of her over-crammed timetable. If the Ministry were willing to provide a Time-Turner for Hermione’s studies, logic suggests they would also provide them for other reasons as well.
But what are these reasons? Are certain Aurors allowed to use Time-Turners? If so, why don’t they use them to go back in time and prevent some of the more heinous crimes committed by Voldemort and his followers?
Rowling evidently knew she’d written herself into a tight corner because during the climax of The Order of the Phoenix, Harry and the others conveniently smash the Ministry’s stock of Time-Turners whilst in the Department of Mysteries.
