>For a universe where everyone can turn into everyone, it seems this is way underutilized. That's what you think the biggest issues is with the writing in Harry Potter, and not the underutilization of a time travelling deice they only hand out to a student so she can ... take extra classes? Don't get me wrong, I loved the books as a child, but as a grown-up now, they haven't aged well at all when you start to realized all the massive plot holes and sloppy writing.

They could wave a wand and feed the world, instead they come up with a pseudo racial slur for the people without magic that they laugh about behind closed doors.

  Creating food has been explicitly excluded from the magic in the Harry Potter universe.

    That's how Dumbledore claps his hands and food suddenly appears in the great hall?
    - Tomte 2y ago
      That's food that exist in the kitchen. Dumbledore merely transports the food from downstairs into the Great Hall. Read the books instead of assuming things. The books are very clear on the point that food cannot be magically created.

        To possibly jump-start your memory, the books had a whole thing with Hermione trying to free the Hogwarts house-elves. It mostly happened in the background and they just talked about it, but it was during one of these parts we learn about the kitchen and how the food gets to the great hall.

  TBH that's probably the most realistic part of the worldbuilding after growing up.

Yeah; and later in the series when beloved characters die, nobody thinks to turn back time and save them. Its very weird.

  that's because on book five? (sorry i haven't read harry potter in a long time) all the time turners get destroyed (actually, they get into a time loop)! https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Time-Turner#1996 https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Time-Turner#1996
