HOLD ON ONE MOMENT, hp i need your help..

Книги are set in the 90s.
I did read somewhere that the Фильмы are set around 10 years later, but I can't remember where, don't know how correct that is, and don't really care, to be honest. I don't think it really makes that much difference.

Um...

Since Harry was born in 1980, I think, then the Книги began at 1991.

Then Snape died during the Hogwarts battle seven years later.

He starts Hogwarts in September 1991, and the series ends (not counting the epilouge) in the early summer of 1998.

Yes, the Книги are written as if we're still in the 90's - sort of. JK used this technique that my Creative Письмо teacher called "timeless setting." It's when Ты don't give many indications of the time period your story is set.

I think the Фильмы followed this technique too. I mean, there really isn't much indication to say it took place ten years назад (at least, from and American's point of view - I don't know too much about British fashion, both in the 90's through today).

if Ты read the chamber of secrets you'll find out Хэллоуин is celebrated in October 31th, 1992. In Хэллоуин chapter.

Lol, isn't it crazy? It took me awhile to заворачивать, обертывание my head around the fact that the stuff happened in the past.

Yes. I'm pretty sure the Книги start in 1991 and they end in 1998.
