- ↑ On Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Chapter 28 (The Missing Mirror), Aberforth Dumbledore says Ariana was fourteen at the time of Kendra's accidental death, which took place in 1899 (the year in which Albus Dumbledore graduated from Hogwarts).
- ↑ "Eight years Newt's senior [...]" (See Image from Lights, Camera, Magic!: The Making of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald); Newt was born 24 February 1897, so he could not have been born before 25 February 1888, or else he would be nine years older. (On the other hand, a birthday in, say, March of 1989 might be rounded up to eight years...)
