The chronology is a general timeline of events derived from information provided in the series of Harry Potter novels written by J.K. Rowling, along with additional materials posted on her web site and published in various interviews. The timeline covers events referred to and occurring within the novels. It appears in other media, such as the DVD copies of the films produced by Warner Bros. She has now finished her last book which is the seventh of her books called "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows". This article is about the Harry Potter series of novels. ...

The timeline contains flaws, which Rowling has on occasion acknowledged, and sometimes contradicts itself or does not agree with real calendar days and dates for events being described.^[1][2] Nonetheless, it has become a generally accepted timeline for the events within the novels.^[2] For other uses, see Calendar (disambiguation) A page from the Hindu calendar 1871–1872. ...

The dates provided in the timeline are derived from bits of information provided by Rowling, either directly in her books, on her website, during published interviews, or from other published materials. For example the Black Family Tree, first mentioned in the fifth book of the series The Order of the Phoenix was extended and donated for a charity auction.^[3] That extended version included birthdates and death years for several key characters.^[2] The Black family tree shows the members of one of the oldest magical families, and their links with many other magical families in the Harry Potter fantasy books. ...

Warner Bros. is the producer of the Harry Potter films, and holds the associated copyrights and trademarks related to Harry Potter media. DVD editions of the Harry Potter films Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire, contain the timeline of events, which take place over the course of the films and in the narrative of the novels. Warner Bros. originally developed the timeline as part of the special features package for the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) DVD. Rowling reviewed the timelines and made several changes before approving them as "official".^[2] “WB” redirects here. ...

The timeline followed in the novels is not strictly enforced in the films. In the film series the suburbs of Surrey and the city of London reflect a more modern, 21st century setting. This is demonstrated by the inclusion of recent British cars and certain other objects, such as the flat panel TV in the Dursley home.

Timeline basis

The official timeline is rooted in a date cited in Rowling’s second book, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, set in Harry’s second year at Hogwarts. During the Halloween celebrations at the school, a long dead ghost called Nearly Headless Nick celebrates the anniversary of his death, which took place on a long-ago 31 October, with a "five hundredth deathday" party. A central feature of this party is an "enormous grey cake in the shape of a tombstone", stating "Sir Nicholas de Mimsey Porpington (the real name of Nearly Headless Nick) died 31st October 1492". Thus, Rowling sets the date on which the event takes place in the book as 31 October 1992.^[4] This means that Harry became a student at Hogwarts in 1991,^[5] and so must have been born in 1980, since his 11th birthday occurs at the beginning of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone the summer before he becomes a Hogwarts student.^{[6] [7]} “HP2” redirects here. ... This article is about the holiday. ... The article is about the ghosts which inhabit Hogwarts in the Harry Potter novels by J. K.

Year 1992 (MCMXCII) was a leap year starting on Wednesday (link will display full 1992 Gregorian calendar). ...

In using the life and death of Nearly Headless Nick to express the chronology of her novels, Rowling initially contradicted herself. In the original printing of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Nearly-Headless Nick claimed to Harry that "I haven't eaten for nearly four hundred years".^[8] Had Rowling left this statement unchanged, it would have created an inconsistency in her timeline. However, she corrected the statement in later editions to read "I haven't eaten for nearly five hundred years"—making it consistent with what she had disclosed in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.^[2] HP1 redirects here. ...

Rowling later gave further confirmation of this original timeline anchor when, in early 2006, she donated a hand-drawn copy of the Black family tree to a charity auction for Book Aid International.^[3] In that document, she included the birth year of one of Harry's classmates, Draco Malfoy, as 1980.^[9] She had previously, in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, revealed Draco's birthday to be (like that of Harry) late in the school year and past January.^[10] By means of these two devices, she thus also clearly sets the birthdate of her main character as 31 July 1980, and thus, by extension, reinforced the original implication that the Sorting Ceremony that takes place on 1 September in her first book was envisioned by her as taking place in the chronological year 1991.^[2] The Black family tree shows the members of one of the oldest magical families, and their links with many other magical families in the Harry Potter fantasy books. ...

Harry's 1980 birth-year is confirmed in Rowling's Wizard of the Month entry for Harry at her web site.^[11]

Rowling's manuscript depiction of The Black Family Tree was shown as being similar to that which she had described in the form of a tapestry, appearing in Order of the Phoenix on the wall of the Black family home. In her manuscript copy, Rowling drew several lacunae (which had been explained by her in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix as burns in the Tapestry Tree featuring in the novel), which she noted as obscuring the names and birthdates of a number of disowned members of the Black family, including a major character of the novels, Sirius Black.^[12][9] OotP redirects here. ...

Black, Harry's parents James and Lily Potter, Severus Snape, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew were all in the same school year at Hogwarts.^[13] Prior to the publication of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, fans were able to use chronological references in the text to estimate that these characters were born between 1957 and 1960. Rowling reveals the exact birthdates of the Potters in Chapter 16 of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, "Godric's Hollow", when Harry visits his parents' grave. The marble headstone lists James Potter's date of birth as 27 March 1960, and Lily Potter's as 30 January 1960. They and the other students in their year at school attended Hogwarts from 1971 to 1978, and their classmates must have been born between September 1959 and August 1960.

Contradictions

There are several minor contradictions in the timeline, both internal and compared with the real-world timeline. For example, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone opens on Tuesday 1 November, despite 1 November 1981 having been a Sunday.^[14][1] Rowling herself has admitted having difficulty with managing mathematics in the FAQ section of her website.^[15] Also in Philosopher's Stone Hermione states that Nicolas Flamel "celebrated his six hundred and sixty-fifth birthday last year." The historic Flamel was born in 1330, placing the events of Philosopher's Stone during 1995/1996, while on the other hand, Nearly Headless Nick's Deathday Anniversary was celebrated in 1992 during Harry's second year, impling that his first year was in 1991. HP1 redirects here. ... is the 305th day of the year (306th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... is the 305th day of the year (306th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... Year 1981 (MCMLXXXI) was a common year starting on Thursday (link displays the 1981 Gregorian calendar). ... This imaginative portrait of Nicolas Flamel dates from the nineteenth century. ...

The birthdates of Harry's parents are also somewhat inconsistent with other chronological references in the text. James Potter in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is referred to as being 15 years old in the summer of his fifth year at Hogwarts. Yet his birthdate in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is shown to be March, meaning he would have turned 16 before the summer of his fifth year.

At the beginning of the sixth book (set in 1996), the Muggle prime minister is visited by Cornelius Fudge. During their first conversation, Fudge says of the previous prime minister 'He tried to throw me out of the window'. In 1996 the prime minister was John Major, and his predecessor was Margaret Thatcher. For other persons named John Major, see John Major (disambiguation). ... Margaret Hilda Thatcher, Baroness Thatcher, LG, OM, PC, FRS (née Roberts; born 13 October 1925) served as British Prime Minister from 1979 to 1990 and leader of the Conservative Party from 1975 until 1990, being the first and to date only woman to hold either post. ...

In the fourth book, Mrs. Weasley states that the Gamekeeper at her time in Hogwarts was a man named Ogg, which is inconsistent with her time at Hogwarts, because Hagrid should have already been the Gamekeeper there.

In the summer of 1994, (the fourth book), Harry writes in a letter to Sirius Black that Dudley threw his PlayStation out a window. However, the Playstation was not released until December of 1994, and was released in the United Kingdom in 1995. Sirius Black is a fictional character in J.K. Rowlings Harry Potter series. ...

Timeline of the Harry Potter series

Events

• 382 BC

According to the sign in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the Ollivanders – a family of magic wand producers – have been in business since this date.^[16]

• AD 962

Rowling dated the first use of broomsticks for transport very precisely, dating it "as early as AD 962".^[17]

• c. 1000

Although the precise date is unknown to those within the novels, Rowling envisioned (in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, set in 1992–1993) Hogwarts, the magical centrepiece of her novels, as having been built "over a thousand years ago" by the four 'Founders', two witches and two wizards (named Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin) whom she portrays as revered figures through the novels. According to Rowling, the education of magical children began at the school at the same time; although, following the standard pattern of creation myths, she depicts this endeavour as becoming lessened due to internal dissent: two of the founders, Slytherin and Gryffindor, quarrel over their creation (Slytherin demanding that they not teach magical students whose families are not magical), resulting in Slytherin rebelling and abandoning the endeavour. At the same time, before leaving, he builds the Chamber of Secrets, a hidden chamber containing a deadly basilisk.^[18]

• 1296

A Manticore savages a human and gets away with it, as everyone is too scared to approach the dangerous monster.

• c. 1300

The Triwizard Tournament, a competition Rowling uses as a major feature in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, is dated by her in that book (taking place in the year 1994–1995) as having been established "some seven hundred years ago". Rowling writes that, although a friendly competition, it was ended at an unknown point due to the mounting death toll. She noted, however, that there were several intervening centuries between the cancellation and the novel in which it becomes relevant, since "there have been several attempts over the centuries to reinstate the tournament."^[19]

• 1473

Rowling considered this a particularly important date in the history of the major sport of her novels, Quidditch: not only does she envision it as the year of the first Quidditch World Cup (a major sporting event in her novels, as seen in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), but she also humorously stated in Quidditch Through the Ages that, of the 700 fouls she writes of as existing in the game, "all of them are known to have occurred during the final of the first ever World Cup" in this year.^[20]

• 1689

The International Statute of Secrecy was signed. This was a year after the Glorious Revolution in Britain.

• 1692

The International Confederation of Wizards met in this year, and made a number of important decisions, including establishing the right for wizards to carry wands at all times and deciding to begin hiding magical creatures from Muggles. This year, as confirmed in the seventh book, was the year when the wizarding world entirely split from the Muggle world. This is also the same year that the Salem witch trials took place.

• 1749

The Statute of Secrecy was breached. ^[21]

• 1792

A Hippogriff is executed for attacking a human. A rampaging Cockatrice injures the heads of the schools Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, during yet another failed attempt to reinstate the Triwizard Tournament.

• 1881

The Birth of Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore to Kendra and Percival Dumbledore

• 1918

Rowling cites this year as that in which Newt Scamander (who, within the context of her novels, is the "real" author of her book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them) was asked to write a compendium of magical beasts – which, she explains, eventually became the book she herself wrote for Comic Relief.^[22]

• Late 1925

Rowling used this as an important year in the plot development of her sixth novel, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: she depicts this year as seeing the marriage of Tom Riddle Sr and Merope Gaunt, the parents of Lord Voldemort (the main antagonist of the novels), and the conception of Voldemort himself, facilitated. Rowling depicts the events leading to this facilitation in flashbacks in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: an attack by the family of Merope Gaunt (Voldemort's eventual mother) on Tom Riddle Sr (Voldemort's eventual father) leads to Gaunt's family being arrested and imprisoned. As Rowling describes it (via the narrative of Albus Dumbledore), Gaunt reacts to her family's imprisonment by enchanting Riddle (with whom she has fallen in love) into loving her; and the two, again according to Rowling by means of Dumbledore's explanation, were married roughly a year before the birth of their child.^[23]

• 1926

December 31: The birth of Tom Marvolo Riddle, who, the author has already demonstrated (in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets) will eventually become "Lord Voldemort". She records this in expository dialogue in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, also noting that the baby's father had abandoned his wife, Merope Gaunt, some months before the birth; Gaunt herself dies an hour after the birth of her son, leaving the young Riddle entirely alone and unloved, to grow up in an orphanage, where – Rowling makes clear – he will gradually become the monstrous and terrifying figure who stalks through her novels.^{[23] [24]}

• 1927

The fictional publication year of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them – which, in reality, was written and published by Rowling herself in 2001.^[22]

• September 1938

According to the dates recorded in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, this year saw Tom Marvolo Riddle (i.e. Voldemort) beginning his education at Hogwarts.^[25]

• September 1940

Rubeus Hagrid starts at Hogwarts.^{[26] [27]}

• July-August 1942

Rowling uses this point to mark a milestone in the transformation of Tom Riddle into Lord Voldemort: as told in retrospect in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Riddle, aged 15 ("In the summer of his sixteenth year" - the 16th year immediately follows the 15th birthday), visits his estranged family, and murders his father and paternal grandparents, then frames his uncle Morfin Gaunt for the crimes.^[28]

• June 1943

As Rowling relates in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, precisely 50 years before the events of that book, Riddle secretly opened the Chamber of Secrets (introduced by Rowling in this book, a legendary hidden chamber under the castle, built by the rebellious founder Slytherin), and released the monstrous serpent (a basilisk) hidden within. As a result, a young student, Myrtle, was killed. Riddle – who, like Harry, is depicted as hating his home in the mundane world, and enjoying life in the school – being shown by Rowling to fear that the school will be closed because of his actions, is then shown to frame Rubeus Hagrid (who, Rowling has already shown in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, will later become Harry's friend) for the crime. As a result, Hagrid is expelled, and Riddle – whose culpability in the matter is unknown – is rewarded; although Rowling also ensures that the matter is reversed by the end of the same novel.^{[26] [27] [29]}

• 1945

Albus Dumbledore defeats a Dark Wizard named Grindelwald in this year, and takes the Elder Wand from him.^[30] Historically, it was the year in which the Second World War ended, with the defeat of Nazi Germany in May, and the dropping of the atomic bombs on Japan in August. These two facts, according to Rowling, are not a coincidence.^[31]

The same year has also been shown by Rowling as being Tom Riddle's final year at Hogwarts. As she revealed in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, he requested of the headmaster, Armando Dippet, that he be employed by the school as a teacher; significantly to the plot of the novels, this request was refused, and Rowling notes that Riddle instead found work in Borgin and Burkes, shown in the novels to be a purveyor of cursed and dangerous objects.^{[32] [33]}

• c.1945-1947

Around these years, Rowling notes in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Tom Riddle – having discovered in the course of his work at Borgin and Burkes two treasures, formerly the property of Salazar Slytherin and Helga Hufflepuff (that of Slytherin, Rowling is careful to note, was a hereditary possession of Riddle's maternal family) – facilitates the murder of the objects' legal owner, and disappears. This marks the final chronological stage in the novels when he appears as Tom Riddle; when he next appears, he has become in appearance and nature "Lord Voldemort".^[32]

• c. 1948

Harry Potter's used copy of Advanced Potion-Making, marked with This Book is the Property of the Half-Blood Prince, is dated as published in this time frame - being "nearly fifty years old" during Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts.^[34] The textbook previously belonged to Severus Snape, and his mother Eileen Prince before him.^[35]

• 1956

Rowling revealed in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix that Minerva McGonagall, the firm but fair Deputy Headmistress who plays a major role in the novels, had in the autumn term of that novel (and thus the chronological year of 1995) been teaching "Thirty-nine years this December": thus, since the December of 1956.^[36] She probably replaced Dumbledore as the school's Transfiguration professor.

The year in which Albus Dumbledore became Headmaster is not certain. However, Rowling's plot exposition in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince made it clear that he became Headmaster around 10 years after Rowling implies Riddle disappeared - and thus, somewhere between 1955 and 1957.^[32][37]

It is also implied in the same novel that, shortly after Dumbledore became Headmaster, Riddle returned to Britain – fully in the name and disguise now of "Lord Voldemort" – and requested the Defence Against the Dark Arts teaching position. When refused this by Dumbledore, Rowling explains, Voldemort – who had already recruited followers, including Rosier, Nott, Mulciber, and Dolohov, 'jinxed' the post he had requested – an explanation given by Rowling for the regular change on the school staff to that position each year in the novels.^[32] It is also said in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows that Voldemort hid the Diadem of Rowena Ravenclaw in the Room of Requirement on the night that he asked for the position.

• 1960

Lily Evans, mother of Harry Potter, is born on 30 January; her future husband, James Potter, is born on 27 March. This information is taken from "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", on the tombstone of Harry's parents in the wizarding community of Godric's Hollow. As revealed on J.K. Rowling's official site, Severus Snape was born on January 9, and Remus Lupin on March 10. Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew were also born around this year.

• c. 1966

As noted by Rowling, through a comment of the 'Minister for Magic' in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (in the chronological year 1996), Voldemort, becoming more powerful, is supposed to have begun his campaign of fear against the Wizarding World around this time.^[38]

• c. 1968-1970

Arthur Weasley and Molly Prewett, the parents of Ron Weasley (the best friend of Harry Potter), who are known to have eloped, are presumed to have done so around this period.^[39]

• Autumn, 1971: as noted above, the six notable characters (James Potter, Lily Evans, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, and Severus Snape) of the generation prior to that of the children who feature in Rowling's novels began school at Hogwarts at this time. (See above).^{[40] [41]}
• c. 1978-1979

Rowling has not made clear when James Potter and Lily Evans – the parents of the main character – were married. Accordingly, no firm date exists; since it is known, through various pieces of information given by Rowling, that they were married by the time Harry was conceived, the range of marriage possibilities is thus from around 1978 to Autumn 1979, when Rowling has made clear Harry was conceived.^[42]

• 1979

The year in which Regulus Black, the brother of Sirius Black, is shown as having died on the Black Family Tree. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, it is discovered that he was, in fact, killed by the Inferi guarding Slytherin's locket. Before he died, however, he entrusted the locket to his house-elf, Kreacher.

• c. late 1979 - early 1980

Rowling explained in first Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and then Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince that Sybill Trelawney, the semi-competent Seer of the novels, made her first real Prophecy at some point in the year before the birth of Harry and Neville Longbottom in late July: both of whom were referenced by the Prophecy in relating a substantial issue of the novels, the issue of who is 'destined' to destroy Lord Voldemort. This successful prophecy earned Trelawney a position at Hogwarts, teaching Divination, which allows Rowling to use her in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban to make another real Prophecy.^{[43] [44] [45]}. Hermione Granger is born on September 19.

• 1980

Ron Weasley is born on March 1 to Arthur Weasley and Molly Weasley. Neville Longbottom born on July 30 to Frank and Alice Longbottom. Harry Potter is born on July 31 to James and Lily Potter.

• 1981

In Rowling's novels, the period from September-November 1981 is very important. The September sees Severus Snape – Harry's classroom enemy – hired as Potions teacher at Hogwarts.^[36] Shortly after this, on 31 October 1981, comes the beginning of the first novel, and a seminal moment in Rowling's work: Voldemort, the enemy of Harry Potter, kills Lily and James Potter, but when attempting to kill the young Harry, is prevented from doing so by Lily, whose sacrifice to save Harry instills an inborne protection in her son. Harry, left with the scar he is distinctive for throughout the novels, is then sent to live with his maternal relatives, the Dursleys.^{[14] [46]}

Rowling allocates to the next day, 1 November, the backstory of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: Sirius Black, the misjudged villain of that novel, is arrested for the murder of Peter Pettigrew; Pettigrew, in fact, is not dead, but has fled into hiding, as will prove significant in Prisoner of Azkaban.^{[47] [48]}

• 1991

The chronological year in which the first novel, 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, begins, Rowling writes July as being the month in which Harry Potter receives his invitation to attend Hogwarts. He, and the two characters whom Rowling places constantly at his side throughout the novels (Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger), begin attending the school in what Rowling demonstrates to be the September of that year.^{[7] [30]}

• 1992

In the course of the first novel, the June of this year sees Harry defeat Lord Voldemort for a second time (although the first time shown to the readers by Rowling).^{[7] [49]}

The same chronological year, although the second novel, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, is also set-up by Rowling as seeing the beginning of the main plot of the second novel, when the Chamber of Secrets is re-opened.^[4]

• 1993

The ending of the second novel and the beginning of the third: Rowling places the climax of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets – in which Harry destroys an incarnate memory of Tom Riddle (a.k.a. Lord Voldemort), rescues Ginny Weasley (who, it emerges, was responsible for the previous events) and, crucially to the plot of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, destroys a Horcrux of Lord Voldemort – in the June of 1993. The event which begins the next novel, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, comes shortly after, when the major character of that novel – Sirius Black – escapes from Azkaban.^{[29] [50]}

May- the Battle of Hogwarts, at which the four remaining Horcruxes (Ravenclaw's diadem, Hufflepuff's cup, Harry Potter, and Nagini) are destroyed. Professor Minerva McGonagall ousts Severus Snape and leads Hogwarts and Order of the Phoenix forces against Voldemort and the Death Eaters; however, Harry discovers Snape's true allegiance shortly after Snape's death, with the help of his memories. Many characters die in this battle including Lupin, Tonks, Colin Creevey, Fred Weasley and many others. After the Horcrux inside him is destroyed, Harry indirectly kills Voldemort by being the master of the Elder Wand, with which Voldemort tries to kill him.

Sometime before his eighteenth birthday, Harry joined the Auror department at age 17.
