alt_fenSomeone commented on this on a blog post I made, but I thought I'd mention it here:
The game is using the 2008 calendar in some respects. September 16, 1991 was *not* a full moon. Of course, this is well within the bounds of "Just go with it, it's a game thing" but I would be betraying the principles of HP fandom nitpicking if I didn't point it out.
Similarly, in February, game time should experience a leap day (Feb 29 1992) but we won't see it.

You've added another aspect of fandom for me to swirl into the HP cocktail that's making me so tipsy with nostalgia today.
