Notes and references
- ↑ Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince showed Ernie attending Potions on 21 April, 1996 with Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy, and all other students who were not old enough to take their Apparition tests. Thus, he must have been born in 1980.
- ↑ Presumption is based on these students beginning at Hogwarts in 1991, meaning they were born between 2 September 1979 and 1 September 1980.
