Harry Potter actor performed? About time (6)
I believe the answer is:
watson
'time' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'harry potter actor performed? about' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'about' could be 'on' (as in a book 'on' a certain topic) and 'on' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'wats' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for watson that I've seen before include "Doctor colleague of Sherlock Holmes" , "I helped detective" , "Companion to 15 ac" , "Holmes' assistant" , "Sherlock Holmes's doctor buddy" .)
