Time-​Turners and how to use them re­spon­si­b­ly.

What is a Time-​Turner?

A Time-​Turner is a ma­gi­cal de­vice used for time tra­vel. It al­lo­ws the user to go back in time for up to five hours. Going for­wards in time (into the fu­ture) is not pos­si­ble. Stu­dents of Hog­warts may apply for a Time-​Turner in order to at­tend more clas­ses du­ring a school year. It is re­qui­red of the stu­dents to fol­low a strict set of rules, or they lose ac­cess to the de­vice. They most com­mon­ly look like an hour­glass on a neck­lace.

Be­fo­re using the Time-​Turner toge­ther with Harry to so save Si­ri­us Black and Buck­beak
Her­mi­o­ne used it to at­tend extra clas­ses at Hog­warts.
Let's have a look at how that worked out for her by checking out Her­mi­o­ne's ti­me­ta­ble. Try to ans­wer the fol­lo­wing ques­ti­ons:

  • Which ad­di­ti­o­nal sub­jects is Her­mi­o­ne able to at­tend be­cau­se of her Time-​Turner?
  • How many hours does Her­mi­o­ne spend in class each week in total?
  • How many hours do you spend in class each week, com­pa­red to Her­mi­o­ne?
  • Which sub­ject do you think sounds the most in­te­resting?

Now that you had a look at Her­mi­o­ne's ti­me­ta­ble and com­pa­red it to your own, turn to your part­ner and
dis­cuss the fol­lo­wing points:
  • What do you think about the amount of time Her­mi­o­ne spends on school­work?
  • Do you agree that school should al­ways be more im­portant than free time?
  • Don't for­get to take some notes!
Don't for­get:

Every class comes with ho­me­work and re­gu­lar tests.
