Charlie Cherry is my great, great grandfather on my mother's side. As you may recall, Charlie worked in a wizarding clock shop on Diadon Alley, Charlie’s Clocks (although one young wizard one day stole the second ‘l’… naughty, mischevious Hogwarts students…). He was a very inventive chap who had a keen interest in time travel. In fact, Charlie was the first wizard to try and blend muggle mechanics with wizarding magic. The harmony of these two factors have created what we nowadays refer to as the time turner, but were once known as Cherry’s Nostalgia Necklace – as it’s main purpose was infact to go and visit places in the past for reflection and nostalgia’s sake.
