What year does Harry Potter take place?

Answer 1

JK Rowling has said that Harry is born on July 31, 1980, meaning that the story takes place in the Nineties. Harry is 11 when the story begins (not including when he is a baby), and eleven years after 1980 is 1991. Harry finishes his seventh year at Hogwarts in 1998.

Answer 2

1991-97

Actually the Harry Potter series takes place from 1991 to sometime after January of 1998 because in the last book they were still searching for horcrux when Harry's eighteenth birthday rolled around.

Answer 3

Philosophers Stone - 1991 - 1992 Chamber of Secrets - 1992 - 1993 Prisoner of Azkaban - 1993 - 1994 Goblet of Fire - 1994 - 1995 Order of the Phoniex - 1995 - 1996 Half Blood Prince - 1996 - 1997 Deathly Hallows - 1997 - 1998

Answer 4

Actually HP's first year takes place in 1991-1992 and the battle of hogwarts takes place in 1998. So the movie coming out in July takes place in 1998, because of when j k Rowling originally started writing the books, so the books/movies are like a look in the past

Answer 5

• The first chapter of Philosopher's (Sorcerer's) Stonetakes place on the 1st November 1981. The rest of the book is then set between June 1991 and June 1992.

• Chamber of Secrets is set between July 1992 and June 1993.

• Prisoner of Azkaban is set between July 1993 and June 1994.

• Goblet of Fire is set between July 1994 and June 1995.

• Order of the Phoenix is set between July 1995 and June 1996.

• Half-Blood Prince is set between July 1996 and June 1997.

• Deathly Hallows is set between July 1997 and May 1998. Nineteen Years Later (the epilogue) is set in 2017.

The movies are set in the same time frames but there are several errors. For example, the bridge destroyed in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was the millennium bridge which wasn't built until several years after the film was set. They also tend to wear more modern clothing.

Answer 6

You would have to see all the movies and books to be exact. So here's how I am positive. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (this is the book and movie) Harry and Hermione are in Godrick's Hallow looking for the grave of Harry's parents. It says they died in the year 1981. How old was Harry then? Well, in the movie (and the book I belive) Harry was being interveiwed for the Daily Prophet by Rita Skeeter who claims he's 12 but Harry insists he is 14. Later, after Cedrick Diggery is killed by Voldemort and Wormtail. Then when Voldemort is all re-formed and stuff (creepy...) he is talking to other deatheaters and says something like "It's been 13 years since the boy who lived..." Since he's 14 there that means he was 1 in 1981. And also he was born 1980. So he's just turned 11 when he goes to Hogwarts. So by then it is 1991. So by his seventh year he is 17 and by then it is 1998. And if you want to go farther in the book and movie at the end there was a 19 years later, where Harry and Ginny were married, and Ron and Hermione are married, and Neville is a Hogwarts teacher and they are sending their kids to Hogwarts, yadah yadah yadah.... Since the end of The Deathly Hallows is 1998, 19 years later would be 2017. Also, Harry, Ron, and Hermione would be 36 and Ginny would be 35. There. That's more than enough specifics.
