Good question, i really dont know how to answer that really Confused

Perhaps he will use one in the next book?? Or perhaps they were all destroyed - i bet that would be JKs answer if she was asked that question.

Id never thought of that before Rolling Eyes

I agree that JK would say they were all destroyed, that would be a convenient answer, but if not at which point would Harry have the chance to save Dumbledore? Keep in mind when he goes back in time he can't let his other self see him and he was staring at Dumbledore the whole night.

There was no Time Turner at Hogwarts. All of them must be in the Ministry of magic and hidden(Department of mysteries). It's not that easy to lay hands on a Time Turner and Harry probably didn't think about it because of the shock.

I agree. Also I think that DD death was an important part of the plot and it is something that had to happen no matter what( according to JK)

Time travel is very complicating thing. I doubt the Time Turners could have actually changed the outcome of that night. If Harry had gone back in time and saved Dumbledore, then Dumbledore would have never died but Dumbledore’s death was the reason Harry went back in time, therefore if Dumbledore didn’t die Harry would have no reason to go back to the past and save him.

Let me explain this is a simpler way. Let’s say you travel back in time and kill your grandfather before he met your grandmother. Then you would have never been born, so you could not have traveled back in time and killed your grandfather after all.

Time turners are very hard to lay hands on.

Well if Harry did go back after Dumbledore died and saved him, Dumbledore would have never died in the first place.

(I find it hard to believe timeturners won't be used in book 7, why mention them in the first place?!)

Yeah sure, well, that's kinda stupid... keeping them all in one place. (All it takes is a teenager, his friends and some death eaters...)
