You know, the big losers are fans who read that and believe it. It 
comes across as if it's an authoritative source, but it's not. That's 
hard for me to take. And yes, I want to be THE source for all this 
stuff, I admit it. :)

I don't know if it would be helpful, but there is an exam schedule 
from PA on the Lexicon. The exams mirror the class schedule, as far 
as I can tell, so you can see which classes Hermione has at the same 
time as Ron and Harry. That's probably not the information you need, 
but it's there all the same. One of these days I'll get a day-by-day 
calendar done for PA, then you'll be able to tell exactly what 
classes are when.
