Well what if she went back 5 hours and traded the depleted turner for the fully charged time turner from past Hermoine, and then kept hopping back 5 hour increments until she finally got back to baby wizard Hitler

I'd say this is the number one thing that's wrong with it followed closely by,
quote:

As if there would even be another way for Voldemort to return


The daughter thing is dumb because nothing about the inhuman character of Voldemort seems to indicate that he's interested in anything other than power and using said power to implement his twisted view of the world. So...did Bellatrix, in her devotion, somehow rape Voldemort? Did Voldemort secretly get down with all his female followers or just that freak Bellatrix? Did Bellatrix's husband watch? ...it all gets weird.

Then the secret and timing of it all would have to be too neat. Draco didn't notice that his aunt was pregnant and gave birth at his house?

You Know Who having another way to come back cheapens the entirety of the seven book series.

quote:

that Ron's feelings for Hermione were so cheap


As for this, I think it might be Rowling's way of playing around with what she now considers a bad idea. I think she's admitted that Ron and Hermione ending up together probably wouldn't have worked. Oh well...she did it, stick to it.

Which is true. But it certainly wouldn't have suddenly ended with Ron "falling in love" with Padma at the Yule Ball simply because he went to the Yule Ball with... Hermione. It makes absolutely zero sense with what we know about the character. He'd been infatuated with her for at least a year... finally gets the courage to ask her out and on said date falls in love with someone who he never spoke to?

Again... really bad fan fiction.

Cursed Child has absolutely zero redeemable qualities. There's better fanfiction out there.

Wait till voldermort shows up again, note where he comes from, go back in time, stand behind where he came from, stab him in the back. Problem solved.

It was pretty bad. I guess it was better watching the play?

Dumbledore had a Time Turner that allowed people to go back in time. Except instead of going back in time to prevent Voldemort from rising to power, he gave it to Hermione in HP3 so she could take more classes. And then we never see the Time Turner again



Wrong.

You can only travel back so far. I don't remember the to e frame off the top, but it is limited. Pottermore has the details.

Also you do see time turners again. In OotP during the Battle in the Ministry. They are all destroyed. That's how J.K. got rid of that little problem of people like you making threads like this.
