Ok, I ran this crazy theory by a friend today. From the info in the book, it’s clear that Harry killed Voldy in 1997. Then the epilogue is 19 years later, 2016. My theory is that that’s when we can expect the next “Potter” book from J.K. Yeah, I know she’ll deny it. But numbers don’t lie. : )
Actually, 1998. The book starts in 1997 but goes thru the entire school year.
Went into my local Walmart at 4pm on the 21st and they had plenty left right by the book section. I needed to buy some other stuff anyway. No problems.
My biggest peeve was that none of the Slytherins stepped up to fight Voldemort. C’mon, they’re not ALL supposed to be bad.
