Voldemort was the most dangerous Dark wizard in history. Capable of splitting his soul, flying without a broom, and leading an army of Death Eaters that would kill on his command.

But one person he could never kill, no matter how powerful he seemed to get, was Harry.

Of course, this was largely circumstantial. Harry was protected — first by his mother’s sacrifice, and then by the blood wards at Privet Drive. Not to mention the twin wand cores, piece of Voldemort’s soul inside of Harry, and the fact that Voldemort used Harry's blood to rebuild his body.

They were, to some extent, inextricably tied to each other- and as the prophecy so aptly put it:

“either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives”

But if we consider for a second that every failed attempt at killing Harry was MAGICAL in nature, it does reveal a slightly more obvious solution: the NON magical alternatives.

MUGGLE weapons.

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.

This is going to be a bit of a world shatterer.

Wouldn’t it be a cruel and tragic twist if the one witch whose love was powerful enough to defeat Voldemort… Was herself the victim of a love potion? And that the purest act of love in the entire wizarding world came from someone who never truly understood her love for her own husband?

What if, beneath the surface of their famous love story, there lurked something much more…Sinister? What if James, desperate to win over the witch who repeatedly rejected him, resorted to the most drastic — and frankly, pathetic — of measures?

Join me today as we unpeel the difficult reality surrounding one of the Wizarding World’s most well-known love stories, as well as the far reaching implications it may have caused.

Don’t worry, I’ll cover arguments FOR and AGAINST.
