timeline (last updated 9 May 2008) (original) (raw)
Some of the dates were derived from The LPW Companion and the HP Lexicon, although we have revised and augmented them based on our own interpretations of canon (mixed in with the usual soupcon of wishful thinking). Completed fics are listed in bold type. The birthdates for Granger, Lupin, Sinistra, and Snape are linked to their astrological charts.
