Hello Susan,

Yes, I have a nomination! The truly enormous error was introducing the Time 
Turner! The whole series gets blown apart by the existence of such a device 
because a) it's a rogue element, uncontrolled and therefore nothing is final, 
and b) the way she implements the logic of it is all wrong.
I've read and re-read everyone's replies to my topic on that one, and now feel 
sure that unless you're looking through a pair of rose-tinted specs, JKR made 
a howler of a plot-error. But that's just my opinion!   :0)  

Sandra, who no longer has a time-conundrum headache.
