The Harry Potter Trick

Here's a fast trick to knowing ages, time, and order. JK makes it super-simple for us:

Harry's age, the school year, the chronological year, the book number, and the movie number each end with the digit "1," then just increment up.

Book & Movie Number Chron. Year HP Age Book Movie Year Pp.1
1 1991 11 Stone 2001 233
2 1992 12 Chamber 2002 251
3 1993 13 Prisoner 2004 317
4 1994 14 Goblet 2005 636
5 1995 15 Order 2007 766
6 1996 16 Prince 2009 607
7 1997 17 Hallows 2011 607
