> Nitpicking:  Harry is supposed [to be able](#s "to cast spells without a wand now? We need a line "Bartok thrust an extra wand from his belt into harrys hand". ")
> 
> Edit: and regarding [time turners](#s "it is quite unlikely that harry would be able to destructively interfere with the shell that is specifically for the purpose of preventing breakage. ") Maybe an extra line can be added?

>> **u/heiligeEzel** [+3]  (9 hours later)
>> 
>> Where is Harry casting spells without a wand?
>> 
>> Also, I imagine the time-turner shell as something Harry can open to get to the Time-Turner, and then close after using. So deliberately breaking it should still be possible.

>>> **u/SvalbardCaretaker** [+6]  *Mouse Army* (11 hours later)
>>> 
>>>  [Spoiler](#s "after the dementor is summoned, he tries to cast expecto patronum, but formerly his wand was shattered apparently? In the wizengamot scene dumbledore levitates his wand to harry for this very purpose, but this is omitted here")
>>> 
>>> The shell thing makes sense, I misremembered the description.

>> The shell is to prevent accidental damage, not necessarily deliberate..

>> The brainstate backup idea was one Harry has in MOR, but it is not canon. It might just be an example of Harry being a Flat Earth Athiest.
