Notes and references[]
- ↑ Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 6 (The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black) - "'You ran away from home?' 'When I was about sixteen,' said Sirius. 'I'd had enough.' 'Where did you go?' asked Harry... 'Your dad's place,' said Sirius."
- ↑ According to Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, chapter 6, Sirius Black's uncle died when Sirius was 17, leaving him 'a decent bit of gold'. Sirius turned 17 on 3 November 1976 and 18 on 3 November 1977; Alphard must have died at some point between these two dates.

- ↑ Penelope was in the same year as Percy Weasley at Hogwarts. Percy started Hogwarts in 1987 meaning she was born between September 1 1975 to August 31 1976.

- ↑ Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, in 1991, Percy became a prefect, and was thus starting his fifth year. He turned fifteen years old about a week before the term started. 1991 - 15 = 1976.
- ↑ In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - Chapter 7 (Bagman and Crouch), Krum is described as "only just eighteen" during the final of the Quidditch World Cup. This episode is set on 25 August, 1994. Several chapters later, in Chapter 28 (The Madness of Mr Crouch), in an episode set on 27 May 1995, Krum is again described, in narration, as an eighteen-year-old. This means that his birthday is sometime between May and August, and since his 18th birthday was in 1994, he was born in the year 1976.
