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

کتابیں are set in the 90s.
I did read somewhere that the فلمیں 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 کتابیں 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 کتابیں are written as if we're still in the 90's - sort of. JK used this technique that my Creative Writing teacher called "timeless setting." It's when آپ don't give many indications of the time period your story is set.

I think the فلمیں followed this technique too. I mean, there really isn't much indication to say it took place ten years پہلے (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 آپ read the chamber of secrets you'll find out halloween is celebrated in October 31th, 1992. In Halloween chapter.

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

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