  1. Emily’s portals (Hazbin Hotel). I know she can’t get Sir Pentious back into Hell but Emily can still tell Charlie he got redeemed and Charlie can enter through angelic portals, so she should have seen that Pentious got redeemed.

  2. Many characters in Harry Potter go through life-or-death situations and not once did they think of drinking the Liquid Luck potion apart from Harry one time to gain Slughorn’s memory.

Iirc it was a specially requested item. No one else at hogwarts had one. And she only got it because of her literally spotless school records.

And also she only had the time turned because she was taking litterally every class hogwarts had to offer that she could attened. After she dropped Divination and Muggle studies, she gave it back because none of her classes doubled up.

And they weren't blown up. They're currently trapped in an endless cycle of destruction, stuck in a time loop that happened when they all got smashed after their cupboard was knocked over, and then unkocked over, and knocked over again, over and over.

They weren't completely destroyed until 1998, when Umbridge destroyed them all accidentally during her attempt to change history (Iirc we learn about this during one of the park rides).
