Just *how much* timetravel have we actually had in the series. Ok I
start the count at one chapter then two chapters then....... thats
it!

TWO CHAPTERS in um..... over a hundred! It's barely a full
percentage of the entire series and yet there is *already* too much?

Please, I have absolutely no idea where anyone gets the notion that
time travel has been overextended in the story.

It sounds to me like personal bias.

Now don't get me wrong, I *am* biased in favour of more timeturning
because I have a scientific and adventurous mind. I don't mind a
challenging paradox myself, its good exercise for me. Frankly, the
excellence that JKR put into creating the timeturned paradox
sequence *did* leave me thirsting for more. But I am not posting on
behalf of that at all, I promise. 

I just want to know how so little can be too much all of a sudden? <<

HunterGreen:
Its not a personal bias at all. I enjoy a little time travel-story 
now and again. However, you and I are looking at it two different 
ways. You see it as two chapters, I see it as one finale out of seven 
(yes, PoA did have quite a lot more going on besides the time travel, 
but it was a major part -- the last part -- of its climax). I just 
think that another book involving time-travel in a major way would 
just seem like too much; for lack of a better way to put it, its just 
too easy of a narrative device. If time-travel gets involved than 
nothing ever "happens", it can always be undone or re-done or fixed 
somehow, and as a reader I find that annoying (okay, maybe it does 
have to do with a 'bias', sort of).
