[color=#000000ost_uid0][quoteost_uid0="Michiel"]However, has anyone read Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban? In that book, Harry and Hermiony's time travel has only one paradox. A predestination paradox, because Harry saves his past self's life. Other than that, the story is sound.[/quoteost_uid0]
That's not a paradox, is it? :S Obviously, Harry saved his other self's life all along. Otherwise, he wouldn't have lived long enough to go back and save himself.

So (tracing the timeline of events) Harry's life is threatened, but then his older self comes along and saves him, then he grows older and eventually goes back in time to save himself.[/colorost_uid0]
