Hi,

This may be a silly question, but what year is the book based in? Is it year 2007? Harry is 17 years old in the book and by the end of the epilogue he is 36 years old, correct?

Hi! No, it's 1997. Yep, he'd be 36 in the epilogue. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

So Harry just turned 27 two days ago! That would make Voldemort 80, turning 81 on December 31!

Harry was born in 1980, the book (book one) opens in 1991 just before he turns 11. Book seven therefore ends in 1998 (I think) just before he turns 18.

1991-1992 Book One
1992-1993 Book Two
1993-1994 Book Three
1994-1995 Book Four
1995-1996 Book Five
1997-1998 Book Six

HP is one year and ninteen days younger than me.

That's weird!!!

I've always seen Harry as younger than me just because he always has been younger than me in the books (until the epilogue) but in reality he'd really be older..

I don't know why I'm just realising this now or why I'm so psyched out by it but I just am!
