User blog:K39/Timeline

Fans have created a timeline of the Harry Potter series from a single piece of information in. At Nearly Headless Nick's deathday party in that book, his death is stated to have been on 31 October, 1492. Since the celebration was commemorating the five-hundredth anniversary of Nick's death, this seems to say the scene takes place on 31 October, 1992. This timeline is reinforced in when the graves of James and Lily Potter confirm that they were born in 1960 and died on 31 October 1981, further reinforced in  when the Death Eater riot on the Quidditch World Cup is stated to have taken place in 1994, and further yet in, in which the Triwizard Tournament is mentioned to have taken place in the 1994-1995 school year. On 1 September, 2017, J. K. Rowling confirmed, via her Twitter account that that was the day the Epilogue was set.

For the sake of convenience, this dating system will be used by the Harry Potter Wiki for all Harry Potter articles.

At the end of the story, by which time the Pot has consumed most of his neighbours, the wizard extracts a promise from the few remaining villagers that he will be left in peace to practise magic. In return, he instructs the Pot to render up its victims, who are duly burped out of its depths, slightly mangled.

1960s summary
The 1960s, like the 1950s before it, was a time of peace in the wizarding world, Gellert Grindelwald having long been defeated by this point; however, because of this peace, no one in the wizarding world was prepared for Lord Voldemort's new war. By the mid-1960s, when Remus Lupin was bitten by werewolf Fenrir Greyback, Voldemort had already started his rise to power and his followers were recruiting a wide variety of Dark creatures to further his cause. The Marauders, the Evans sisters and Severus Snape were all born around 1960.

This would be the decade when Molly Prewett, Arthur Weasley, the Black sisters, Ted Tonks and possibly Gideon and Fabian Prewett all attended Hogwarts, roughly between the years 1960 and 1973.

Minerva McGonagall likely became Head of Gryffindor House between 1955 and 1961, and Hagrid's predecessor, Ogg, was Gamekeeper for Hogwarts until at least 1968.

1970s summary
The 1970s was the time of Lord Voldemort's first rise to power. Though Muggles, of course, remain oblivious to the war, this time is remembered by the wizarding world as a violent time of terror and bloodshed.

Voldemort's followers, the Death Eaters, tortured and murdered many Muggles and Muggle-borns for sport. Due to extensive use of the Imperius Curse, it was hard to tell who was on which side and many who served Voldemort later claimed to have been under the influence of the Imperius Curse.

Barty Crouch, the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, fought the Death Eaters with an iron fist, often sending innocent people to Azkaban without a trial.

With Harry Potter's defeat of Voldemort in October of 1981, the war seemed to be over, but this, unfortunately, was not the case. With Voldemort's return to full power in 1995, much of the second half of the 1990s became Voldemort's second, albeit shorter, but much more violent reign of terror.

This was also the time period when James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Lily Evans, Severus Snape, and Peter Pettigrew were attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Additionally, many of the combatants of the Second Wizarding War were born during the war in this decade including: Bill Weasley, Charlie Weasley, Percy Weasley, Fred and George Weasley, Hermione Granger, Cho Chang, and among numerous others.

1980s summary


The 1980s was the decade between the first and Second Wizarding Wars against Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters. Since most of the magical community considered Voldemort to have died on 31 October, 1981, the vast majority of the population expected the future would only bring peace. However, even those who were not yet born or who were very young when Voldemort was active, still feared to speak his name many years after his supposed death, unlike the peacetime between the fall of Grindlewald in 1945 and Voldemort's rise to power in 1969/1970 where the vast majority of the wizarding population didn't see another Dark Lord coming, the 1980s and early 1990s were more uncertain as Voldemort's body had disappeared, but many still feared his name. According to W.O.M.B.A.T. it is in this decade that the remaining Giants were driven into seclusion.

Many of the Second Wizarding War heroes were born during the years 1980 and 1981 such as Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood, and Ginny Weasley. Draco Malfoy was also born during this decade.

Gwenog Jones, Bill, Charlie and Percy Weasley, Oliver Wood, Nymphadora Tonks, Marcus Flint, Heathcote Barbary (lead singer of the wizard rock band; The Weird Sisters) and possibly Hestia Jones all started or attended Hogwarts during the 1980s and early 1990s; elsewhere Fleur Delacour and Viktor Krum started at Beauxbatons and Durmstrang respectively during the middle 1980s.

Third timeline:
 * Nov 24:

Hermione Granger, having seen two Durmstrang students disarming Cedric Diggory, suspects that Viktor Krum told them to sabotage Cedric's First Task, and turns him down. She goes with Ron Weasley.

Third timeline:
 * Dec 25:
 * The Yule Ball of the Triwizard Tournament is held. Ron Weasley goes with Padma Patil and Hermione Granger goes with Viktor Krum. Without realising, seeing this sparks jealousy in Ron Weasley, which later leads to him and Hermione Granger falling in love.

Fourth timeline:

1990s summary
] The 1990s was a strange, violent period in the history of the Wizarding world. The mid-1990s was the era of the second war against Lord Voldemort, though the origins of it go back much farther. In fact, one might conclude the first war against Voldemort had not actually ended and that the second war was a mere continuation.

The 1990s was also the time period when Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Draco Malfoy, Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood, Fred & George Weasley, and Ginny Weasley attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. More specifically the years in which this group attended the school were 1989 to 1999.

 * Snape, Ron, Hermione and Scorpius return to a future where Cedric still lost the second task. However, the world is still similar to the one where Voldemort won.
 * Ron suffers a bad leg injury.
 * They are attacked by Dementors, so Ron and Hermione sacrifice their souls so Snape and Scorpius could flee.
 * Snape and Scorpius are found by Umbridge. Snape kills Umbridge. They get attacked by Dementors again, so Snape sacrifices his life so Scorpius could have space to go back in time.
 * Scorpius goes back to the First Task and casts a Shield Charm to stop Albus and Scorpius from interfering.
 * Scorpius turns back to the day of the Second Task 24 February, 1995, to stop Albus' Engorgement Charm. This was the second of the two necessary things he had to do to return things to how they were in the original timeline, with some minor changes.

Fifth timeline:
 * Oct 29:
 * Harry visits Albus in his dorm room and they begin to repair their relationship.
 * Scorpius merely tells their parents that they have lost the Time Turner. Scorpius explains to Albus what happened in the third and fourth timelines.


 * Oct 30:
 * In the night, Scorpius wakes Albus. They decide to destroy the Time Turner. Scorpius says the last thing he saw it was when he went to the second task in the lake. They go to the lake and retrieve. Albus sends an owl to Delphi to join them at the Owlery.
 * As they prepare to destroy Nott's Time Turner, Delphi turns up. Scorpius works out that she is secretly evil when she reveals her tattoo is of an Augurey, recognising the name of the title she had in the second and third revised timelines for Lord Voldemort. She kidnaps them, taking them down to the Quidditch Pitch, and reveals herself to be the secret daughter of Lord Voldemort.
 * When their parents find out they have gone missing again, the visit Amos Diggory to find out what his niece is up to and why he sent the children owls. Amos says he does not have a niece. Draco Malfoy reveals to Harry that he has another Time Turner. Since they don't know where the children have travelled in time to, they can only wait for a clue.
 * Delphi takes Albus and Scorpius back to 24 June, 1995 to humiliate Cedric and make him fail the Third Task, hoping it will make him turn into a Death Eater, like in the second and third revised timelines.
 * Albus and Scorpius are careful, however, to ensure that their actions do not create a new timeline. They manage to apprehend Delphi for a moment, and she gives up trying to humiliate Cedric. She takes them further back in time to an event that still takes place in this timeline.
 * She leaves Albus and Scorpius who soon realise they have travelled to 30 October 1981. They think Delphi means to kill baby Harry the next day instead of Voldemort so his downfall never happens. They go to Godric's Hollow where they see baby Harry with his parents, and decide to get the blanket to send a message to the future, to warn their parents.
 * Oct 31:
 * On Hallowe'en, as it is the anniversary of Harry's parent's deaths, as usual, Harry returns to Albus' room to hold his blanket once again. He finds the burned message due to the love potion, that Albus left for him 39 years prior in the timeline.
 * Harry, Ron, Hermione and Draco turn back to 31 October, 1981, which is the root timeline before the points of divergence of all the other timelines, using the Malfoy Time Turner, so as to save Albus and Scorpius. They are careful, however, and ensure that they don't create a diverging timeline, so that their actions take place in the same timeline. The fourth revised/original timeline continues.
 * They all return from 31 October, 1981, and put Delphi in Azkaban.

2021
Jun 24:
 * Harry Potter and Albus Potter go for a walk to Cedric Diggory's grave where Harry goes every year on the anniversary of Cedric's death to say sorry.

After 2021

 * 2785
 * The boxes of Sugared Butterfly Wings at Honeydukes Sweetshop in 1993 would expire.

=Contradictions= There are numerous contradictions in the timeline, though it should be noted that, in the FAQ section of her website, Rowling has admitted having difficulty with managing mathematics, so perhaps perfect internal consistency is not to be expected. In addition, considering the Harry Potter universe is a fantasy world, it's possible that certain dates may differ between it and the "real world".

Despite its problems, this timeline is extensively used by fans and Warner Bros.'s timeline of the series (featured on the DVDs for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban) contains dates that were interpolated from this dating system (such as Harry's birthday being on 31 July 1980 and his first defeat of Lord Voldemort being on 31 October 1981.) However, several anachronisms have crept through in the movies, such as featuring the destruction of the Millennium Bridge in the film version of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, even though the novel (and the film) are supposed to take place two years before the bridge was built. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the Dursleys are seen to have a flat-screen television, which were not commonly available in the mid-1990s. In addition the Dursley's car, shown in the same film, bears a 2006 year registration plate.

A short film with the movie series cast,, was produced in 2006 as part of the 80th birthday celebrations for Queen Elizabeth II. The skit violates the dating convention by having the characters reference the event, even though for them it should still be the mid-1990s.

Problems with time
Often when dates are given, they are given with a day of the week that does not match with that date as it in actual history. One such example occurs in when Sybill Trelawney refers to 16 October as Friday, although 16 October 1993 was a Saturday. This is usually explained as artistic licence on the author's part.

There are also contradictions within the books in this area. For example, in, both 1 September and 2 September are given as Mondays and, in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Buckbeak's trial is set on 20 April, but careful parsing of the text reveals that it could have happened no later than February.

Also, in it is said that the Champions were chosen on Saturday 31 October, but 31 October was a Monday in 1994. However, it was later stated that 22 November was a Tuesday, which it was in 1994.

Historical problems
Although the series, according to the timeline derived from the Chamber of Secrets reference, is set in the nineties, the series often seems as though it is set in the late nineties to mid-2000s, roughly concurrent with the publication of the books. In, Cornelius Fudge uses a male pronoun to refer to the "predecessor" of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. According to the above timeline, this should occur in the summer of 1996, when the Prime Minister was John Major, whose immediate predecessor was a woman (Margaret Thatcher).

It is possible, however unlikely, that Fudge could be referring to a more distant predecessor, as Thatcher took office before Fudge supposedly became Minister for Magic. (Although one could imagine a scenario in which Fudge was delegated by the Minister for Magic to meet with the Prime Minister while he, Fudge, was in an inferior office.) Additionally, the personality and history of the Prime Minister portrayed appears to more closely match that of than of John Major. An article in the Daily Mail notes that Rowling is close to the then-Chancellor of the Exchequer (often viewed as a rival to Blair's leadership of the Labour Party, who succeeded him and became Prime Minister), and that she might have been attempting to show Blair's worst side. If the books were set in sync with publication date of Philosopher's Stone, then this event would occur in 2002 (after Blair became Prime Minister).

A similar problem involves Nicolas Flamel, who was mentioned as being 665 at the time of the first book, but Nicolas Flamel was a real historical figure and would not have reached that age until 1996, around the time the first book was published. The rebuttal for this is that the date the "real" Nicolas Flamel was born does not correspond with the Nicolas Flamel of Harry Potter.

Another problem exists regarding Rubeus Hagrid's tenure as Hogwarts's gamekeeper. It is implied throughout the series that Hagrid was given that position within a few years of his expulsion from school in 1942. But in one scene of, Molly Weasley reminisces about Ogg, Hagrid's predecessor; since Hagrid's years as gamekeeper appear to overlap with Molly's years at school, it seems unlikely that she remembers a previous gamekeeper. However, it is possible that Hagrid did not become a gamekeeper immediately after being expelled, but rather started as Ogg's assistant. This is plausible given that when Harry thinks that he will be expelled for flying on the broomstick without permission in his first year, he wonders if he would be allowed to stay on as Hagrid's assistant.

There is at least one anachronism in the books. In a letter Harry writes to Sirius in, he mentions that his cousin Dudley owns a PlayStation. According to the timeline, this would be in the summer of 1994, but that sort of gaming console was not launched anywhere until December 1994, and then only in Japan. However, considering his parents gave him whatever he wanted, they could have gone out of Britain to get it, as well as use special connections. Or, Harry might have confused the PlayStation with a similar console. As most wizards are ignorant of how Muggle technology functions, the latter theory seems plausible, although Muggle-raised wizards knew much more about Muggles than the average wizard.

Another mistake occurs in dealing with the attendance of Bellatrix Lestrange and Severus Snape at Hogwarts. Sirius Black mentions Snape and Bellatrix's attendance of the school overlapping at a certain point; however, this is impossible, as Bellatrix attended the school from either 1962 to 1969 or 1963 to 1970, while Snape started at Hogwarts in 1971. Sirius could have meant that Snape and Bellatrix ran with the same crowd, but at different times, or the same manner of people, or maybe Bellatrix had to repeat at least one year.

Another contradiction is that Merlin could not have both been in King Arthur's court and have attended Hogwarts, as King Arthur ruled from late 5th century to early 6th century, but Hogwarts was founded c. 993 AD, approximately five centuries after King Arthur's reign. When Hogwarts was founded, the King of England was Æthelred II (c. 968- 1016), and the King of Scotland was most likely Kenneth II (971-995), or, less likely, Constantine III (995–997).

If the canonical timeline of the books (1991–1997) is correct, there are several anachronisms in the films. Perhaps most glaringly is that at the start of (set in 1995 according to the timeline), when Harry is bringing Dudley home, a February 2005 numberplate is clearly visible in the background; and then when Harry is flying down the Thames toward his trial, he flies past the Canary Wharf development (in 1995, only One Canada Square had been completed) and the London Eye (not built until 1999). =Notes and references=
