I is for Imperio
The Imperio spell is one of three unforgivable curses, granting the caster complete control over another person or animal.
Unlike the Cruciatus Curse, one of the other three unforgivable curses, being under the Imperio spell is not an unpleasant feeling. When Harry Potter was placed under the curse, he described it as, “the most wonderful feeling… floating sensation as every thought and worry in his head was wiped gently away, leaving nothing but a vague, untraceable happiness.”
Those under the curse find themselves imbued with abilities they otherwise didn’t possess. Wizards can cast spells far above their typical ability, and Neville Longbottom became quite the acrobat while.
Despite the pleasant feeling and newfound abilities, it’s still considered extremely bad taste to override an individual’s free will. Any wizard caught using one of the three unforgivable curses was automatically given a life sentence in Azkaban.
For the record, us Jostlers are not in the habit of casting curses, unforgivable or otherwise!

H is for Hermione
Hermione was such a keen student that in her third year at Hogwarts, she wanted to take every single available class.
To help her with this goal, Professor McGonagall went to the Ministry of Magic to get special permission for Hermione to use a Time-Turner. The device bent the fabric of time, allowing her to attend classes that were scheduled at the same time.
Unfortunately the concept of work-life (or school-life in this case) mustn’t have made its way to the wizarding world yet.
Despite having the ability to literally have more hours in the day than everyone else, poor Hermione never used the Time-Turner to give herself some much needed rest and relaxation. For the entire school year, she was constantly exhausted and feeling overworked.
I don’t know about everyone else, but I'd definitely use the Time-Turner to sneak in a nap or two!
