Synopsis:
The war against Moldywart is not going well; even Muggle governments are noticing. But like everything else in this world…life doesn’t stop because someone is having a bad day or getting tortured by the darkest wizard of the age.
The sixth year students at Pigwarts are carrying on as they would any other year, learning to work more complex spells, find ways to continue their love triangles and weave around the irritate teachers. Underneath it all our trio of heros is plotting and planning ways to assist the Order of Fry Cooks in their never evending battle against Lord Molywart. With a little help from Moaning Myrtle they may have found a way to put an end to the Wizarding Wolrds suffering for good.
To hell with Time Turners and Ministry approved methods of time travel when you can take a swirl in Moaning Myrtle’s Loo. To fix the future, Harry Potter and his friends will go back to the past and make sure Lord Moldywart never gains power, and all will be well. Or that’s the idea atleast. As always with Harry, things never go as well as planned.
When they return they find things better than ever, Harry now has a real family, Ron is an only child, and Hermione continues to scowl. Things at school couldn’t be better, Greasy Git is no longer Potions Master but is Filck’s assistant, and their new teacher is amazingly brilliant, even nice.
But soon they learn the old saying: ‘When it’s too good to be true, it usually is!’ Harry relives his moments from first year and gets sorted into Slytherin, Ron and he never meet, and Hermione is quickly becoming another Moaning Myrtle as she has no friends and ends up spending breaks in the girls bathroom crying. Will they go back and put things right, or will they keep going back until things are exactly the way they want them?

Editorial & Reviews
The New York Times - Micah Kakile
The silliest and most unsettling installment yet … It is a novel that pulls together dozens of plot strands from previous volumes, underscoring how obnoxious J.R. Bowling has assembled this giant jigsaw puzzle of an epic!
The New York Times Sunday Book Review
These newest 652 pages – far darker than those that preceded them – are leavened with humor, romance and snappy dialogue, and freighted with secrets.
