Can someone please explain why the books take place from 1991 to 1998 and how this came to be? 18.104.22.168 08:31, 11 July 2009 (UTC)LarryPotter
In the second book, Sir Nicolas dem Mimsy Porpington celebrates his 500th deathday and is said to have died in 1492.
1492 + 500 years = 1992.
Thus, the second book took place in 1992-1993 and the other books in the years before and after 1992.--Rodolphus 08:43, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
