So I am trying to not read the Harry Potter book too fast because I want to make it last. However, there is one thing I noticed during my reading. At one point Harry goes to visit his parents' graves, and the tombstones are marked saying that J&L died October 1981...which okay, so then are these books not taking place in current time? Because if so, then homeboy is no parts 17. He’s actually closer to 30. Because if Lily and James dies when he was 1, then he would have been born in 1980, which would make him 27, if the books were set in present day. So am I to assume that this is actually taking place circa 1997? Am I the only one who didn’t know this? Although it would make sense seeing as how none of them have mobile phones, and this would make is so much easier for them all to stay in touch while on the run, however, I am aware that would totally take away from the magic aspect. Who needs to send a talking patronious...just send them a text! Ha Although I’m sure the Ministry of Magic would have found a way to hex all phones somehow.
Thoughts?
