Time-Turners that were issued by the Ministry of Magic have an Hour-Reversal Charm placed onto them.

They stopped Delphini by the combined might of both generations, and then returned to the future. Along with Harry, Ron, Ginny and Hermione, they travelled back in time with help from a message sent by Albus in the past. However, in the present, Draco Malfoy revealed he had the improved Time-Turner from his father, that would allow him to stay in the past for as long as he wanted he had always had to resist the urge to use it to see his deceased wife one more time. She then destroyed it to ensure she would not be forced to return to the present via the five minute restriction. When they were were abducted by Delphini, she used the time-turner to travel back to October 1981 to save her father. They managed to correct events and set time right with the help of the alternate Hermione, Ron Weasley and Severus Snape. They created a disastrous sequence of events and alternate realities, finding that they could only stay in the past for five minutes. Īlthough it was hidden in the office of Minister for Magic Hermione Granger, it was later stolen by Albus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy, who intended to use it in order to save Cedric Diggory and return him to his father. Being a 'true' Time-Turner, it had the potential to cause catastrophic effects on time, and Nott was arrested for creating such a dangerous device. In August 2020, Harry Potter, in his capacity as the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, retrieved the previously unknown Time-Turner at the home of Nott. Even though they both owned something which could be used to save Voldemort, neither of them tried. While Malfoy kept the improved model, which was eventually passed down to his son, Nott kept the prototype. They could also use the device to return to the future when needed. Nott eventually created a better and improved model, which let the time-traveller stay in the past for as long as they wanted. The prototype only let the time-traveller stay in the past for five minutes, although they could travel as far back as they wanted. And then it speeds up.' - The workings of a time turner īy August 2020, Theodore Nott, while working for Lucius Malfoy, created a prototype of a time-turner, presumably in the hope of saving Voldemort from his fate. And then it turns over, thinks a bit, and begins spooling backwards, slow at first.

However, it is possible that other countries around the world would be willing to lend their own Time-Turners to the British government if asked. While not 'destroyed' per se, due to the way one of them fell when their counter was knocked over, the entire stock was trapped in an endless loop of falling over, un-falling, and then re-falling, in an endless cycle for all eternity, and was thus unable to be used. The entire stock of Time-Turners, located in the Time Room, in the Ministry of Magic were rendered useless during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries in 1996. Ron was disappointed that Hermione did not tell her friends about it, despite her promise to McGonagall. This allowed her to have a normal schedule once again, and she returned her Time-Turner. Hermione found her third year stressful with the extra class load, and therefore decided to drop Divination, which she despised, and Muggle Studies, which she did not find very useful, given that she was a Muggle-born. Special permission from the Ministry of Magic had to be sought to allow Hermione to use one, but her academic record ensured that permission was given. Since McGonagall made her swear to not tell anyone about it, she did not mention it to Harry Potter or Ron Weasley until the end of the school year, when she and Harry used it to travel back in time and save Sirius Black and Buckbeak from certain death. Hermione Granger received one from Professor McGonagall in 1993, so that she could attend more classes in her third year than time would allow.

Harry Potter and Hermione Granger use a Time-turner Every night, without fail, Hermione was to be seen in a corner of the common room, several tables spread with books, Arithmancy charts, rune dictionaries, diagrams of Muggles lifting heavy objects, and file upon file of extensive notes she barely spoke to anybody and snapped when she was interrupted.' - Hermione's workload due to her Ministry Time-Turner ' Hermione's immense workload finally seemed to be getting to her.
