Quote #4
ALBUS: It's a brilliant plan. The secret to not getting Cedric killed is to stop him winning the Triwizard Tournament. If he doesn't win, he can't be killed. (2.4.23)
Literally going back into the past is a terrible idea, but Albus and Scorpius need to experience how bad it is firsthand so that they learn their lesson. It's a little harder for people who are metaphorically stuck in the past to realize how damaging the effects of that can be.
Quote #5
ALBUS: Fine, let's go back—fix it. Get Cedric and Rose back. (2.16.28)
Albus is showing similarities to his father here. Make a mistake? No problem. Take a Time-Turner and fix it. It worked for Harry in Prisoner of Azkaban. Why wouldn't it work here?
