I would guess two hours a day, five days a week, forty weeks a year 
is more realistic, i.e. 400 hours, something under 3 weeks.  Five 
hours a day would be about 1000 hours, or 6 weeks.  At age 13 - 14, 
not a huge difference, though given Hermione's birthday, just enough 
to put her technically into the academic year above Harry's.

I think it must 'work' like that - Harry and Hermione would have gone 
on ageing.  After all they have six hours of action-packed memories 
for a three hour period.   I don't see how their body-clocks could 
rewind without wiping important memories when they use the time-
turner.
