Talk:Between 1998 and 2017
From Harry Potter Wiki
Is there anything particularly relevant about the Star Wars and Lord of the Rings movies? They just seem to take up space. Don't get me wrong, I love them, but how are they relevant? Toon Ganondorf (t c) 13:15, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
- It should only be things that have to do w/ the HP universe. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 23:19, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
Removed a snippet about Micheal Jackson, due to above comments. =) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 97.124.84.124 (talk • contribs) 06:22, 14 July 2009.
Are the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 noteworthy enough to be put in the Muggle events section? They did have a humongous impact in the Muggle world. --DanMat6288 23:49, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
- As DarkJedi613 mentioned above, it should only be things HP related. - Nick O'Demus 23:58, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
- Yet, this year article seems to be the only one that follows that rule, as most of the others seem to have nothing listed but events relative to the Muggle world in general, such as wars or advances in Muggle tech. :-/ --DanMat6288 00:29, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
- After they pointed it out, I went through the articles and took out the non-HP related stuff and replaced it with a link to the Wikipedia articles for their respective years. - Nick O'Demus 16:27, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
[edit] everything
may i just ask why everything i the books is set in the nineties and not now? -- Joe (talk) 13:52, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
- Because that's the way JKR made it. - Nick O'Demus 16:27, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, Joe. It's set in the 90s because JKR wanted it to be like that. TurboGolf 05:04, November 12, 2009 (UTC)
- In my own opinion, it's a little bit annoying and disturbing to JK if she writes about somethings that was not happened yet although its only a fictional novel. She set the series on the nineties to look the written events seems really already happened in the past. Imagine, if it was written that Harry Potter's birthday is July 31 2008... --ÈnŔîčö DC

[edit] 1999
What about creating a separate page for "1999" only? I ask this as the year was notable enough in the series to deserve its own article (being the year the Daily Prophet Newsletters take place) . -- Seth Cooper owl post! 01:35, November 29, 2009 (UTC)
- Bumping. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 01:47, December 4, 2009 (UTC)
