- ↑ Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 28 (Snape's Worst Memory) - Hermione Granger said that "the Easter holidays start on Friday". Easter in 1996 was on Sunday 7 April. The Easter holidays therefore can only have started on Friday 5 April. The events happen earlier in the same weeks, meaning they happened between 1 April and 4 April.
