Why did Harry and Hermione have to worry about being seen? - Laughing multiracial teenage boys mocking at depressed young ethnic female standing on street after school

It is evident in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban that Harry and Hermione used a time turner to save innocent lives.

They were stealthy going through the grounds when they travelled back, as to avoid being seen.

But when Harry uses the patronus charm on the dementors, the other Harry saw him but actually saw a blue translucent deer. After the charm had finished, there was nothing there to see other than a blue light disappearing.

Hermione too was invisible.

Why did they have to avoid being seen when they were invisible in the forest anyway?



Best Answer

I could answer why they didn't want to be seen in the first place, but your question is specifically why they didn't want to be seen "when they were invisible anyway", to which the answer is simply: They were not invisible.

At no point during the Time-Turner trip are they invisible. They don't have the Invisibility Cloak, and they don't cast any invisibility charms. They're always just hiding. Specifically, in the forest during the Dementor attack, they're hiding behind trees up until the point Future Harry emerges and summons his Patronus. Past Harry does see Future Harry, but by that point he's so disoriented and close to collapse that he mistakes him for his father James.

Why did JK Rowling not put Harry and Hermione together?

In an interview with Emma Watson, who played Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films, Joanne Rowling stated that the reason for the Hermione/Ron pairing (and perhaps by implication Harry and Hermione not ending up together) was "wish fulfillment."

Did Harry have feelings for Hermione in Deathly Hallows?

The explanation is very simple - Harry has a very strong sexual desire for Ginny. He has no such feelings for Hermione. Sex is a fundamental aspect of adult relations. Sex is, in fact, the characteristic that defines the difference between a platonic relationship and a romantic one.

Why Harry should have been with Hermione?

They either revered him or feared him. Hermione was unabashed by his presence. She saw him for exactly who he was, and not by his \u201cstatus\u201d. They had the same values, they fought for the same ideals, and they were each other's best friends.

Were Harry and Hermione meant to be together?

Harry Potter had plenty of obvious relationships to root for, including a strong contingent of fans who believed that Harry and Hermione were supposed to be together. As any fan who has completed the series knows, that ultimately wasn't the case.

Answer 2

I believe the book mentions serious consequences. On Pottermore:

Firstly, I had Dumbledore and Hermione emphasise how dangerous it would be to be seen in the past, to remind the reader that there might be unforeseen and dangerous consequences as well as solutions in time travel.

If you follow time travel logic, you know from the first run that Harry and Hermione didn't see their future selves. So when they go back in time, they know they were never seen because they hid.

As for Harry seeing himself, it's stated in the books by multiple people that he is a dead ringer for his dad. Harry thinks he's seen his dad casting the Patronus. He's also in the process of being kissed by the Dementors so his perspective is not reliable.
