Wouldn't Tom Riddle have graduated in 1946? But start his 7th year in 1945? His 7th year was the 1945-46 school year, if all the dates are correct, that is what it comes out to. Yzz 14:26, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
- If he started in 1938, his school years would have been:
- 1st, 1938-1939
- 2nd, 1939-1940
- 3rd, 1940-1941
- 4th, 1941-1942
- 5th, 1942-1943
- 6th, 1943-1944
- 7th, 1944-1945

THE RIDDLE MURDERS TOOK PLACE IN 1944, NOT 1943
The Riddle murders took place in 1944, not 1943. The book canon comes first to the movie canon. And in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, it reads "Half a century ago, something strange had happened there..." and "Fifty years before, at daybreak, on a fine summer's morning.... a maid had entered the drawing room to find all three Riddles dead." The present is August 1994. Thus Tom Riddle, Sr. and his parents were killed in 1944, not 1943.
Also, in the Harry Potter Companion book, it says that they died in July/August 1944.
