On clothes and the time of the action in POA

[Adrienne]

Jumping in here...
I was 14 years old in late 1993 in New York. From the pictures 
that we have seen *so far* (which is very few) I can say that what 
Harry is wearing is almost exactly what me and my friends were 
wearing back in 93. Stretched out and worn zip ups, baggy 
unbuttoned flanels over faded t-shirts and slightly baggy pants. It 
was the time of "grunge" fashion/style after all - think Pearl 
Jam/Nirvana. All Harry needs is a wallet chain and a leather 
jacket and we would have been twins!   ;)

and still am!)
