There would be alot of side effects of time-turning. 
The need for more haircuts as well as meals and baths. 
[definitely baths]. Hermione showed the exhaustion of not 
getting an adequate amount of sleep. I don't see how 
the teachers would not have known.

from message # 15774:  
Now what about the three Hermiones going to three classes 
at once? .... If she was gaining an extra 5-6 hours a day 
[1-2 hours example per class] wouldn't her hair and nails 
grow faster? That had to be noticeable too.

older than the others after a year on the Time-Turner!  Or 
doesn't it work like that?  I cast forth the question for 
thoughts...

> 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.

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.
