I not only saw it, I read it, but what is there to say? The 
Potterverse is in an alternate universe with wildly different 
astronomy, as well as calendars. I think no one has yet found any 
year in history with all the Full Moons matching the ones in any one 
of the HP books, year after year September 1st is on a Sunday, and I 
think someone found one of the books has two Mondays in a row.
