   The worst of the worst was when Dumbledore makes this statement toward   
   the end of the first chapter of PS/SS in response to Minerva’s fussing   
   over the excessive jubilation attendant upon the fall of the Dark Lord.   
      
      
   “We’ve had precious little to celebrate for eleven years.” He goes on   
   to underline the matter by stating on the following page that for   
   eleven years he has been trying to persuade people to call   
   He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named by his proper name, Voldemort.   
      
   Looking back, we should have known that JKR was going to play foot   
   loose and fancy free with timelines from that glaring error alone. :/
