Again, Buckbeack did not die the FIRST time, that is why Harry and 
Hermione were able to save him.

I suspect that something already happened in the past differently 
than we readers think it happened due to the time travel. Don't ask 
me about time paradox, I think more sophisticated time-travel 
theorists would be able to explain that.

I used to dislike another introduction of the time -travel as 
possible solution to one of the mysteries, but the more I think 
about it, the more I think that it could be done elegantly. After 
all, I LOVED the PoA ending.

Chancie:
I know Buckbeak didn't die because Harry and Hermione saved him, but they 
were not forced to replay the same scenario out when they used the time-turner

Also something else just popped in my head!  JKR named it a *TIME-TURNER*, 
(as in over turning the events of the past/future whatever the case may be) not 
a time-seer (as in only having the ability to see the past/future events)

I also think something about time has already been changed!  For example 
Harry, and infant of only just over one year of age, surviving the collapse of an 
entire house.  I think that maybe Dumbledore (since he had heard the prophesy 
from Trelawney knowing that only Harry could defeat Voldemort) went back in 
time and saved Harry somehow from the house squishing (sorry only word I could 
think of =} ) him therefore keeping him alive to defeat 
He-who-must-not-be-named later in life!

I loved the PoA ending as well!  I think that could be the main reason it's 
my favorite book!  I am very wishy-washy on weather I think it would be a good 
ending for the books though.  I do however have a sneaking feeling that it 
will turn up again before the end.  Just as the Polly Juice potion did!!!

Chancie~Who wonders how many times the TT has been discussed and how many 
more times it will be before JKR decides to write a book about it for charity so 
we can figure out how it's going to be used in later books!!
