I'm one of the strange people who actually enjoy the time travel
debate, and thoroghly disagree that these posts should be shunted
under science fiction or the like.  However, I agree that perhaps the
Time turner and Time travel categories should be combined into one,
since they almost always overlap.  Perhaps time turner can be a
subcategory of time travel, and be used for those posts that discuss
the legality of time turners, how common they are, who knew Hermione
had one, etc.  All the arguments over the logistics of Harry saving
himself, and other discussion of H/H/H/H's adventure (I rather like
that title :) ) would go under the main time travel heading.

Just my two cents.


-Kelly, visiting her sister at the moment.  Will be back to reviewing
Hogwarts categories when I return.  And there just isn't a word to
express how bad this new Yahoo format is.
