More Harry Potter Products At Noble Collection
They are selling more Harry Potter products at Noble Collection, including a silver version of Hermione's time turner from the Prisoner of Azkaban movie. They describe it very well, check it out:

An authentic recreation of Hermione's Time Turner as seen in the movie Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban. The Time Turner is centered with a working miniature hourglass and its inner rings rotate. All measure 1 3/8 inches in diameter and come with display.

Do we really need to know that? I dunno, I'm thirteen...I just look at displays, I don't read about them. But...I think there was one more thing? Oh yeah, a picture!
