User blog comment:LilyLovegood/ The films do not take place during the 90's/@comment-306173-20110410225919/@comment-3475224-20110413171256

Of course canon dates matter! And they are mistakes because if they wanted to the film makers could have made it look as if the film was set in the 90's, removing ipods, flat screen TV's ect., these morden things are not important to the story because they didn't happen in the books. It would not have been difficult to remove them but they were not removed, therefore they are mistakes. And lilylovegood, listen to yourself "They've never tried to make the films take place in the past. They've used the dates from the books, [well then they have tried to make events in the past] but it doesn't mean the films take place during the 90's [well if they use the dates from the 90's then it is the 90's!]"
