But the special thing about it, is that she actually does provide the explanation in the middle of the action, rather than earlier. But it makes sense, since it is Hermione explaining the time-turner to Harry, who had no clue about it. Further, readers of the novel have been waiting, like Harry, for an explanation of how Hermione has been attending classes simultaneously.<BR/><BR/>So the whole thing with the time-turner is a major exception in terms of the general patterns of how her plots are constructed, but it is a masterfully handled exception.Andrew Shieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02804655739574694901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20782819.post-2921318838531242662007-05-09T18:16:00.000+02:002007-05-09T18:16:00.000+02:00I love the way she does that with the time-turner ...I love the way she does that with the time-turner in Azkaban, too.<BR/><BR/>B-CatAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05550171117732749735noreply@blogger.com
