Me: The difference is, Buckbeak was never excecuted in
the first place, while Cedric died the first time
around. So, in a way, Dumbledore was right, no spell
can reawaken the dead, but using the time turner one
can prevent the death from occurring in the first
place. The problem with Cedric's death is that it was
completely unexpected, whereas Buckbeak's death was a
planned excecution.
