  • Would the prefects be able to handle a troll?

    ...Eh, if a group of 10/11 (can't remember which) year olds can knock one out, I'm sure the prefects should be okay. :P
  • Ah. I see. Well, part of book 7 took place in '97, then. :P

  • Wait, were the movies supposed to be set in the 90's as well?

    I could've sworn I saw a cell phone or two in the background...

    Cell phones existed in the '90s, silly. :P
  • Squid:True. True.

    Tre:Weren't they made in the late 90's? Maybe the last few movies would of taken place in the early days of the cell phone.

    ...The only huge complaint I've ever had about the movies is how they keep wearing muggle clothes at Hogwarts. During classes. What happened to the robes they used to wear all the time? :/

    @CA: Okay, but they weren't commonplace, and flat screen televisions didn't exist, even though the Dursleys have one in the later movies.

    ^ So basically it's weird time shit again? Bluh.

    I am curious about Pottermore and should probably check it out.

    >10/11 (can't remember which) year olds

    Hogwarts' First Year corresponds to the UK Y7, which is children aged 11-12.  Harry has his eleventh birthday at the start of book 1 and his twelfth birthday at the start of book 2.

    >Wait, were the movies supposed to be set in the 90's as well?

    They can't be, the Millenium Dome and the London Eye are plainly visible in at least one of them, neither of which existed until the very end of the 1990s.

    I feel weird in that I read all 7 books but didn't bother with the last two movies.

    In the books I remember the robes are actually supposed to look a bit like dresses.  In the films IIRC they just wear regular school uniforms only with cloaks around the shoulders (and sometimes pointy hats).

    ^^ I'm pretty sure they were deliberate, since they are very visible.

    Rowling is very inconsistent about dates in the books anyway so I don't think it matters.

    OKAY.

    I agree with squid that it's a good series (although my favourite book was bizarrely the fifth one; I don't know if I'd feel the same way if I were to reread them.  I greatly disliked the fifth film).

    ^ I was disappointed that they omitted Snape's challenge, though it probably wouldn't have been very cinematic.

    I think it's only called that in the US, isn't it?

    I wonder what Stuck would be renamed to if it had to be?

    I mean, "Tre's Mall Adventure" might be a bit generic, but it fits, I guess. "The Life and Times of Tre" could also work as a name for the entire series, but then again it sort of reminds me of something else so maybe not.

    Also, I read a book about Nick Flamel once. YNTKT.

    Nicolas Flamel really existed.  He was French, though, not British.

    The legend of the Philosopher's Stone was of great interest to a lot of alchemists back then.

    Relatedly, but not really, all the usernames on Pottermore are terrible.
