Talk:Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Battle of Hogwarts

Battle of Hogwarts taking place on 2nd May
If you watch the "A Year in the Life of J.K Rowling" on the special features of the DVD/Blu-Ray of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. When she is talking the Battle comes up and she says something along the lines of "...which if readers have been paying attention they will know happens on the 2nd of May". Harry arrives on the 1st and speaks to Aberforth and goes to the Room of Requirement then some of the battle happens and at Midnight, Lord Voldemort gives them one hour for them to gather their dead and for Harry to go to him in the forest. The rest (L.V dying, Molly and Bellatrix having a duel, etc etc) happens on the 2nd. 94.9.100.8 (discuss) 23:44, 1 May 2011 (UTC)


 * I'd have to argue whether you can tell this by reading the book, but I can't be sure until I re-check this. However, one big issue: battle is initially joined at midnight. As the school is being told that the juniors will have to evacuate, Voldemort says that they have until Midnight to hand over Harry. The later break in the action is probably around 2 or 3 in the morning, as the battle ends at sunrise, 5:28AM in Edinburgh on 2 May 1998. Chazz (talk) 22:54, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
