Harry Potter a very influential figure was born during this time period
The 1980s was the decade between the first and Second Wizarding Wars against Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters. Since most of the magical community considered Voldemort to have died on 31 October, 1981, the vast majority of the population expected the future would only bring peace. However, even those who were not yet born or who were very young when Voldemort was active, still feared to speak his name many years after his supposed death, unlike the peacetime between the fall of Grindlewald in 1945 and Voldemort's rise to power in 1969/1970 where the vast majority of the wizarding population didn't see another Dark Lord coming, the 1980s and early 1990s was more uncertain as Voldemort's body disappeared and many still feared his name. According to W.O.M.B.A.T. it is in this decade that the remaining Giants were driven into seclusion.
Many of the Second Wizarding War heroes were born during the years 1980 and 1981 such as Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood, and Ginny Weasley. Draco Malfoy was also born during this decade.
Gwenog Jones, Bill, Charlie and Percy Weasley, Oliver Wood, Nymphadora Tonks, Marcus Flint, Heathcote Barbary (lead singer fo the wizard rock band; The Weird Sisters) and possibly Hestia Jones all attended and started Hogwarts during the 1980s and early 1990s, elsewhere Fleur Delacour and Viktor Krum started Beauxbatons and Durmstrang respectively during the middle 1980s.
