According to Dumbledore’s instructions, three turns were all that were needed for this trip, which sent Harry and Hermione back from Midnight to 7:30 that evening, right before Buckbeak was to be executed. To use the Time Turner, all the wearer (or in the case of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban’s pivotal journey, wearers) has to do is turn the embedded hourglass once for each hour they want to go back, and they’ll be transported back to that time. The latter assumption, as it turns out, couldn’t be more appropriate. First impressions would suggest that whoever wears this beauty is either a huge Boggle or Pictionary fanatic, or just likes to keep track of the time. Hermione got special permission to use one for her classes as long as she abided by the rules. Good luck finding one though, as the entire lot of them were believed to have been held by the Ministry of Magic. More specifically, you’ll need a Time Turner, a device which, upon first glance looks like a necklace with an hourglass built in. If you want to time travel in the Harry Potter universe, all you need is a little bit of jewelry.
