The dates the books are set in have been worked out from clues in 
the text - the most easily accessible piece of information is that 
Nearly Headless Nick died in 1492 and his 500th Death Day occurs in 
Chamber of Secrets, but there's more evidence than just that.

A timeline has also been included on one of the DVDs as a special 
feature.
