Harry Potter discussion

Okay so I might be wrong, and please correct me if so, but I think something's wrong with the timeline. Not JK's timeline, but ours, and by ours, I mean the way we mark the Battle of Hogwarts anniversary each year seems wrong to me. Lemme explain my theory.

According to when JK published Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Harry was born on July 31, 1968. (Oh yeah happy 46th bday to Harry btw). Anyways, he was born in 1968.
He fought the battle of hogwarts in his seventh year, meaning he was seventeen at the time. They show us later in the last chapter of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows a part where the golden trio are dropping their kids off at king's cross, NINETEEN YEARS LATER (Harry, Ron, and Hermione as 36 year olds). So that year would have marked the 19th anniversary of the battle of hogwarts. So again, I did some more research, and that book was published in 2007. So technically, 2007 should've been the nineteenth anniversary of the battle, and 2008 the twentieth and so on....

Everything crystal clear till now ? Now, the wrong stuff happens...

Potterheads this year (2017) we're posting that it was the twentieth anniversary of the battle of hogwarts, when it should actually have been the twenty-sixth, considering the fact that 2008 was the twentieth anniversary. (Do the Math)

What people got wrong was that they forgot to count that nineteen year skip in the book.


Yeah that's just about it, if I'm wrong, please I'd love to be corrected, so make sure you tell me what you think.

Thanks for reading this, take it into consideration !

Always,
A Potterhead

Harry potter's birthday isn't 31st July 1968 it's the 31st July 1980 the battle of Hogwarts happened around June _July 1998 so it would the 19th anniversary this year
