Time-Turners. They pop up in the Harry Potter universe as confusing plot devices, but their secret is that they are part of a much larger tradition of time travel in fiction. How do Rowling’s Time-Turners work? Are there consistent rules? Why can’t Harry just use one to go back in time and kill baby Voldemort? Is this like [insert name of popular film that has time travel]? We’ll cover all that and more. Just remember, if someone offers you the chance to travel through time, don’t do it!
